shoutout to @ds.bsky.team for adding inline translation to the app.
Bluesky is international. people who speak any language should feel welcome here, and easy translation helps make that happen.
shoutout to @thepope.dev for this update — we've been wanting to simplify this for a long time
custom feeds are part of what make Bluesky unique. lots more we can improve here, and we will!
OTA update rolling out now, we should be all good shortly!
today's app update introduced a bug that is causing some posts to not show up. we're working on a fix now.
heads up devs:
linger time is gonna skyrocket
yep, would be great to share more as we ramp up
@iwsmith.bsky.social wrote a great post last week on some of the ML team's work

we hired the mayor
welcome @joshuajfriedman.com!
it's being rebuilt piece by piece, not all at once.
our second ML eng joined last week and we're working on more, so i'm hopeful improvement will ramp up.
For You is already featured and better feed discovery is already planned, but there are plenty of other discovery surfaces that are not in a good state and need to be fixed, which we're doing.
lots of hiring and investment also going into Discover itself. moving as fast as we can.
awesome!

new blog post on permissioned data in atproto! this one introduces "buckets", the protocol-level primitive for shared access control. I walk through two approaches that don't quite work and land on something that I think does
let me know your thoughts!
yep, actively working on this. it’s taking a bit longer because we are replacing the entire system behind it, not just applying band-aids. more soon. cc @iwsmith.bsky.social
New blogpost about atproto
It's not federation, it's not a p2p mesh. It's a secret third thing: practical.

thanks to @ihatemornings.com for the early work on this integration with Bandcamp

def. working on this
working on this
search is getting an upgrade soon.
if you could fix or change something thing about it, what would it be?
def interested in extending this to more apps, Germ is the pilot — though we haven't landed on timing for that yet
they had an outage — should be back up now
should have at least 4 hours overlap in the workday with PST, so CET is not ideal
form is up! have another look
we're hiring a senior product designer at Bluesky.
you'd be designer #2. no design-by-committee, no six-month review cycles. just ship great stuff to millions of people.
come level up this app with us! apply here: jobs.gem.com/bluesky/am9i...
woah
who's building an rpg on atproto?
feels like atproto could be as useful for games as it is for social apps. your PDS can hold the inventory or character data you bring to any game.
would love to see more games here.
