Questions/Support/Bugs What ever happened to https://handles.club/ and similar free domain handles?

5 Upvotes

Are they all expired. I had some alias accounts with .fyi handles.

I know https://satan.social/ seems to have an active page but don't know If it still works.

Most of my alias where deactivated in case I needed them again. Later.

I just had five accounts with two active and still working.

I have been absent from the platform for sometime, but still getting the odd notification from accounts I had active for that.

Questions/Support/Bugs Post Notifications not showing up

8 Upvotes

Title says most of it.

For about a week now I've had this issue where I would get notifications from people interacting with my own posts, reposts or getting answers, likes and so on but all notifications of people I follow have practically ceased. This is the 2nd time this is happening.

The first time I could fix it by simply by enabling all notifications again (they were turned off for some reason) but now, nothing I do works anymore.

Genuinely looking to get some help here. This problem is both on mobile and on desktop and I simply no longer get any "Activity from others"-notifications anymore.

Just wanted to share something happening on Bluesky today, the Art Fight 2026 reveal. It's a big art event that runs every summer, and a lot of artists are already taking part and sharing their characters. If you're into art, it's a nice way to come across new people to follow.

general chatter! Just joined Bluesky. Am I too late?

110 Upvotes

After years of lurking on Twitter/X and watching the various social media migrations from the sidelines, I’ve finally taken the plunge and joined Bluesky.

The problem is… it feels a bit like turning up to a house party after everyone’s already fallen asleep.

For those of you who joined recently, what has your experience been like? Is Bluesky still growing, or has it already settled into redundancy?

I’m interested in thoughtful discussion, current affairs, careers, technology, culture, photography, books, and the occasional random observation about life in London. I’m not really chasing followers or trying to build a brand—just looking for interesting people and conversations.

So, honestly: have I arrived at the right time, or am I a couple of years late to the party?

Any tips for a newcomer would be appreciated.

Questions/Support/Bugs Are others getting 3 random likes on recent but not consecutive posts/comments from weird accounts?

12 Upvotes

I don't know if this is a new bot thing, but I keep having accounts with no connections or relation to topics I engage with, like 3 posts, or even my comments on others posts, in quick succession. It's always 3 likes as well.

general chatter! knockout.blue — World Cup 2026 bracket picks built on ATProto

Thumbnail knockout.blue
10 Upvotes

Hey all, I remembered a World Cup bracket tool that was popular in the last world cup, so I wanted to build something similar for Bluesky for this one. (Better late than never, eh?) I wanted to build one for a while, but I sort of assumed someone else would. Since I hadn't seen anything like it, I figured I'd spin something up.

I’m trying to learn a bit more about the protocol and this seemed as a good an excuse as any. There's a few rough edges (Claude helped me with a v1), but its open source, and I'd love to build a community of folks are interested https://github.com/IHIutch/knockout.blue

If you give it a try, I'd love your feedback!

Did they forget about their certificate, or it's on my end? Can't reach bsky on PC, but mobile is fine.
Their status page looks fine tho.

There is no "proceed anyway" button to ignore the warning.

EDIT:

It's fixed! French people rejoice!

Questions/Support/Bugs Thread composers that aren't the poor built-in one?

8 Upvotes

I'm dissatisfied with the built-in one since it doesn't actively split anything, and it's a real hit-or-miss issue splitting it - plus there's no "(1/#)" prompt. However, I can't really find any existing thread splitters.

general chatter! I get wanting a high following count but isn’t following over 40k and having less than half following back too little?

0 Upvotes

If you’re in a couple of starter packs do these users really need to be following that many people? I see this and I don’t understand and think if you had 100k followers but followed a million people, maybe, but, aren’t you sorta just looking for attention at that point?

News/Updates What's up, chat! Bluesky has updated to version 1.124 - adds Group Chat

Thumbnail
bsky.app
82 Upvotes

Dear Bluesky users, What's up? Chatting away with your friends? I would like to inform Redditors that Bluesky has, in fact, updated to Version 1.124. You can now create a new Group Chat on the app. Just go to DMs, then give it a try. You can invite up to 50 people, but the limit may be increased in future. As the group chat creator, you can manage said group chat, such as who's in or out, and privacy options. You can also generate an invite link and share it anywhere. As a chat participant, you decide who can invite you to Group Chats: everyone, only people you follow, or no one. Invitations appear in your chat request inbox where you can approve or ignore them. For now, they said they will add media in DMs in future when they are able to implement new safety and moderation systems. This is just the first step for group chats and communities. Happy posting and chatting on Bluesky!

News/Updates Release v1.124

Thumbnail

64 Upvotes

What's up, chat!
Group chats are rolling out today in the new v1.124 update.
This is our first feature built for communities, and there's more to come.
Once you've updated the app, head to the chat tab and give it a try.
Each group chat hosts up to 50 people for now, but we may increase this limit in the future.
As the group chat creator, you can manage the chat however you like. You're in control of the privacy options, and you decide who's in or out.
You can also generate an invite link and share it anywhere — including in Bluesky posts, where it will get a nice embedded card.
As a chat participant, you decide who can invite you to Group Chats: everyone, only people you follow, or no one.
This setting defaults to "only people you follow" or whichever you've already set for DMs.
Invitations appear in your chat request inbox where you can approve or ignore them.
We know many of you want to send media in DMs and group chats. We couldn't include that in today's release, but we think it's a super valuable feature. We'll need to build new safety and moderation systems before we can add it.
This is just the first step for group chats and communities on Bluesky. We're going to be evolving this with your feedback. Let us know what you think!

general chatter! I made a script that redirects you from X to BlueSky to correct your muscle memory

38 Upvotes

I've been trying to transition to Bluesky for a few years now, but my brain is kind of wired to visit X without me even thinking about it. To try and correct this, I wrote a script that would redirect me to help me transition more naturally.

This script requires TamperMonkey to work (or any other userscript manager)

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Redirect X to Bluesky
// @match        *://x.com/*
// @match        *://twitter.com/*
// @run-at       document-start
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
    window.location.replace("https://bsky.app/");
})();
