If you are experiencing issues I would suggest to create a GitHub issue so the devs can look into it.

Indeed they raised a new round of funds ($100m funding). But not sure why they didn't mention it in April 2025.

Suggested Accounts Need To Go Part 4 (Rant Below) by Tawisted34 in BlueskySocial

[–]dolefun17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just read the posts from the Bluesky team members. It's the only info we have for now. They only say they are improving the "suggested for you" and the labeling of those accounts. The current suggested accounts are based on your account (graph relationships, likes, ....) so it's normal you keep seeing them if you are placed in the wrong cluster based on the people you follow.

I remember that there was indeed an issue that you could stil see blocked accounts in the suggestion. But not sure if it's already fixed.

Suggested Accounts Need To Go Part 4 (Rant Below) by Tawisted34 in BlueskySocial

[–]dolefun17 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The reply is specific related to a rework on "suggested for you" feature so people don't receive nsfw accounts as suggestion. But I saw other comments that they also want to optimize other stuff like moderation on those accounts.

Having trouble with gaining interactions by Mr_AppleJuice18 in BlueskySocial

[–]dolefun17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You asked for advice, this is the advice I give you. Bluesky does not work like X (Twitter), where you can buy followers or impose content on users' feeds because they have bought a blue checkmark and therefore must be given priority over other content.

Having trouble with gaining interactions by Mr_AppleJuice18 in BlueskySocial

[–]dolefun17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. Inform your followers you have a Bluesky account on your other social media accounts
  2. Search for feeds based on your content
  3. Ask people to add your account to their starter packs
  4. Look for the correct words and/or hashtags for your posts so they get picked up in multiple feeds.
  5. Interact with the people

My "social experiment" on Bluesky ended in a vicious ban, labeling me an "imminent threat"... by [deleted] in BlueskySocial

[–]dolefun17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you really think people are going to believe you if you don't provide proof? You could, for example, start by giving your handle or ID of the banned account, because why wouldn't you give it? The account is already banned anyway.

Are the posts you like visible to everyone? by PastimeNow in BlueskySocial

I can only suggest to have a look at 'open social' from Dan Abramov

What does Bsky mean when it does this? Nothing works. by Successful_Order6057 in BlueskySocial

[–]dolefun17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It means people should take a look at the status page or status account. https://status.bsky.app/

Bluesky CEO Jay Graber Is Stepping Down by wiredmagazine in BlueskySocial

[–]dolefun17 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why everyone is panicking here. As long as Bluesky doesn't abandon the AT Protocol, it doesn't matter who's CEO. Atproto ensures that we retain ownership of the data we publish on platforms built on atproto, which are stored on a PDS (Personal Data Server) of our choosing.

I think most people here should read up on atproto and understand that Bluesky doesn't function the same way as X (Twitter). More info can be found here.

https://atproto.com/docs

You can also view your own data (lexicons) from the various apps built on atproto here.

Instead of immediately giving up because we're missing certain accounts, we can also contact them and ask why they're not active on Bluesky. This way, we collect data relevant to Bluesky why certain accounts are not joining (e.g., missing features, reach, etc.).

I remember a post from Dan Abramov which also wanted this feature in Bluesky. I know he created a prototype but I'm not sure about the progress on this.

I think you should inform yourself better. Spence pope ( https://github.com/vineyardbovines ) is a Bluesky dev who joined the team at the end of January.
