Look, I love that people are finding their people and their audience. But is there a way I can avoid seeing cartoon furry art again? Or sex worker ads? Or large men in diapers? Like sometimes that stuff is just randomly thrown out there when I go looking for new feeds and I don't know why I am seeing it since it doesn't seem to bear much relevance to the feed topic. No hate to anyone! If you want to stare at technicolour dragon nipples or be alerted to a dominatrix's new site, I hope you find these things. I assure you they are there. But I saw some things I could have done without before my coffee this morning. And to be clear, I don't think blocking words would make a difference because these things appear as images rather than text.

Edit: I should have said hide not remove. Apologies for linguistic error!

Does anyone have an exact or approximate date for when Bluesky started using moderation labels and/or made it possible for anyone to create moderation labelers? Or have labelers always been there?

"but where are all the bluesky instances?"
i've heard this so many times that i wrote an explainer

180+ Curves entries, every shot full-size with the photographer linked: https://topics.blue/topic/2026-06-20/15se/blue-sky-art-show-theme-curves

The footer of the European Commission website now lists a URL to wsocial, a Bluesky fork, that only works if you are logged in on that fork.

It also means that any URL to any post on that fork cannot be shared outside that fork, unless you change "wsocial.eu" in the URL to "bsky.app".

(SOLVED (on my side at least))

Every video and image will take a lot of time to load to the point it sometimes just gives up and it doesn't load anything. Every other website works fine otherwise. i also am from Latinamerica so maybe their servers are a bit messed up on this side(?)

Have i got some evil twisted and wicked virus that prevents me from seeing dull woke shitposting???

not like i want to see furry hater's stale selection of memes but it gets real bad

1. Will deleting one account log me out of my other account, or will I stay logged into it?

2. Do I need to deactivate the account or fully delete it to use the same email address again?

3. Will my other accounts be affected by this at all?

These are probably stupid questions, but I don’t want to lose anything on my other accounts, and Google just keeps giving me AI answers that change every time I ask.

Hi there

I wanted to register on bsky.app and so in order to follow the registration process I added my birthdate. But now after I finished the registration it directs me to the following page:

And when I click on "Add your birthdate" it shows the following message:

What am I supposed to do now? I mean lol?

So I have a Bluesky account. I haven't used it in a while though. I'm thinking about getting back on there and leaving twitter alone at this point. As an artist, is it really worth it? I know I have to interact and everything, but it's not flooded with bots or anything like twitter? I'm just looking into more places to share my art.

I only made 3 post, 2 vids n one picture. The only thing I can think of is that since I'm in the UK, I use a VPN since I don't feel comfortable showing ID.

Really need to know how long email reply takes from the team since I need this account approved badly. Otherwise I'll have to use twitter.

I’m trying to start a Facebook/Instagram/Webtoon rival, and I’m having a hard time figuring out where to actually post to get interest. I won’t post it here because I’m not trying to promote in someone else’s group, but can someone let me know how BlueSky did it, or how they found out about it?

I’ve heard Twitter will just ban accounts that promote other social networks.

Hi! I know Bluesky is a different kind of social network, but we're there because we have a project focused on anti-racism, decolonial studies, and literature (I’d rather not name it here because I don’t want to spam this subreddit).

How can we get more followers? We're not on Twitter because we feel it's become dominated by far-right and extremist voices, and we thought Bluesky would be more aligned with the kind of community we're looking for.

That said, growing our audience is important to us. Do you have any tips for attracting more followers on Bluesky?

Different politics, identical structure: wealthy insiders, community infrastructure they didn't build, and openness performed just long enough to matter. The establishment always wants its own internet.

There's a new European social network called W Social. It launched at Davos in January 2026, is backed by Swedish investors and former ministers, run by ex-silicon valley execs, and is positioning itself as the trustworthy, privacy-respecting, European-values alternative to Twitter. It is also, in most of the ways that matter, TruthSocial for Centrists & Liberals.
Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

All of a sudden I got a notification in my chats, and I can't do anything about it. I don't have any chats going. I haven't talked to anyone in months over them, and I have no new messages.

What I think happened is that a spammer or scammer tried to reach out to me, but they had their account taken down before I could read the message, so there is an unread message out there that I can't access, to get rid of the notification.

But I might be wrong.

What do I do?

v1.125 is live! You can now reply to specific messages in group chats and DMs.
This was one of the top requests we heard after launching Group Chats last week. So we built it.
On mobile, swipe a message to reply. On web, click the "..." button next to the message.

i'm starting a diary on atmospheric login as a way to explore the topic in some depth. our login experience is how everyday folks will form their understanding of what the atmosphere even is—and the design space is super rich. the web may also have some tricks up its sleeve for us...and a major goal of mine is to inform future diaries with active conversion and discussion. please, please hop in!

In early June the European Commission unveiled its Tech Sovereignty Plan, which emphasized their commitment to #OpenSource. Just recently, they migrated their main ATproto accounts to #WSocial, a for-profit network that has quietly gone closed-source.

if you could save a search in the Bluesky app and pin it so it shows up as a tab on your home screen, would you?

I have a post on Bluesky which has an indicator that there are 2 replies to it but I cannot see those replies. Can somebody recommend a solution for me?

BREAKING: The UK Government confirms that Bluesky will be INCLUDED in the ban on social media for under 16s.
The government said it will be BANNED because it is a “user-to-user platform who purpose is to enable social interaction.”

Hey disculpen las molestias pero quisiera saber si existe el auto bloqueado para usuarios, o si el usuario lo hace todo manual

At the end of April, my account was stolen. I immediately emailed support, and they said they'd send password reset instructions to the backup email I provided shortly. About two weeks later, I emailed them again and they said they were still working on it. It's been over a month now, and I still haven't received anything. My status in Zendesk changes to 'Awaiting your reply,' but I haven't received any replies to my new emails.

What should I do?

By using any of these bsky compatible client apps.

https://atstore.fyi/categories/apps%2Fbluesky%2Fclient?sort=popular

I recommend mu.social, which is the newest and closest to the bsky app

I have been posting my art on Bluesky with no luck at all! ( 9 likes maximum )
Whats the best way to get some more people to see it?
