@graysky.app @mozzius.dev ha! Was in a time warp using a TestFlight beta when I saw the build was removed and am now skying smoothly on the official AppStore client. Thanks again, cheers!

@graysky.app love being able to select specific feeds as the default, very nice QoL change, and much appreciated. Definitely my favorite element of this update. Taking the app to great places, let’s goooooo!

@graysky.app ok this deserves a separate callout: iPad support! Looking good and much appreciated! 🙏🤗

@graysky.app am wondering, will we be able to edit the sort order of saved (but not favorited) feeds?
August 27, 2023 at 2:58 AM
@graysky.app hi- I really like the emphasis you’re putting on feeds access. I installed from TestFlight after some time and was pleasantly surprised to see all my feeds come front and center. As someone who sees feeds as bsky’s killer feature, a great design choice. Thanks!

If Bluesky seems dead or low activity on your end it might be that you haven't yet made the most of its design. It's different from Twitter in some key ways so you have to interact differently. I'm writing these tips below from my non-techy perspective, techies please weigh in if I get things wrong:

@madamgrammar.bsky.social welcome, you were a suggested follow, and begging the question, I assume a fan of “eats shoots snd leaves” too?

Happy birthday to Bret Hart, born today in 1957 in Calgary!
He was one of the biggest wrestling stars of the 1980s and 1990s.
In his five decade career, he has won 32 championships and has the most combined days as WWF Champion during the 1990s with 654.

@apolloapp.bsky.social I’m sure not the first time (I may have even asked you on Masto) but have you heard bought about migrating Apollo to support Lemmy or kbin or similar on the Fediverse? Stay well

Custom feeds, bsky’s killer feature IMO. Adding lists is not a new thing but the implementation here feels much less janky. Love it!

@daringfireball.bsky.social @gruber.foo thanks for the post on Fediverse stagnation. Good insight but I better understand why seeing you here is no less of a surprise than me exploring both platforms. Ironically I am taking time to explore more Fedi (pixelfed, Lemmy, kbin etc) now.

Check out the Open Library for old books 🧪​

One joy I've stumbled upon is this online resource for *very* old books.

Like this one from 1911, where Eugen Bleuler first coined the term "Schizophrenia". Bleuler was refreshingly progressive for his time.
