It's true! goooood!

Can we post videos? ... as an experimental feature.

this'd do the job, at least for now/if they don't do that: developers.cloudflare.com/workers/exam...

Or rather, tomorrow, when sober

that so chill blue sky. wow that's so cool.

Japan's TwitterJP has come under the control of the Liberal Democratic Party and is freezing anti-government accounts without permission. Don't trust the Japanese management organization.

Yes you can, just at them on here! If you're really after experimenting 🤭

That is coming soon™️ according to their own docs.

素敵な機能を試してみました。DNSレコードの設定です。 Hostnameに"www"を入力、Record TypeはCNAMEを選択、Addressに通常のホームページを選択。この場合、ブラウザのURLに"www.swoff.com"を入力すれば普段のHomepageが表示されます。 Hostnameに"@"を入力、Record TypeはCNAMEを選択、Addressに"redirect.bsky.app."を入力。この場合、ブラウザのURLに"swoff.com"を入力すれば"https://bsky.app/profile/swoff.com"が表示されます。

Please make it possible to close your account and send private messages🙏

“Optional” is orthogonal to “stupid-ass idea”

HELLO ✌🏻

Any solution to redirect my old bluesky address (#https://bsky.app/profile/alexvicious.bsky.social) to my new (#https://bsky.app/profile/alexvicious.fr) with my domain ? Thanks in advance

What is the expected practice/convention if your domain already goes to a personal website?

No

Could someone explain to me the significance? Was this not how it worked before? Sincerely: not a tech person

I am not sure how to use this feature if I already have a WordPress blog on my domain. Maybe a subdomain?

Any suggestions for debugging this if Google’s dig shows my cname record but browsers on multiple devices report they can’t connect to the server?

Just curious, will analytics be available for bluesky?

Can you add support for @handshake.bsky.social names please?

@antonyaraujo.bsky.social

Users should add so-called ALIAS/ANAME records for their apex domains as CNAME records are not allowed. Still, I wonder how you'd prepare the TLS server certificates for users' domains on your redirector.

Honestly? Pretty neat feature. Thanks!

I assume a domain redirect will work the same? Squarespace domains don't allow root @ CNAMEs.

The DNS entry being a CNAME is sort of irrelevant. It's just saying which server is asked for the certificate. Until recently, Bluesky's redirect web server returned valid certificates for our custom domains (which they know as our handles), and it is no longer the case.

beautiful, setting this up tonight

Honestly this is pretty cool.

works a treat. barely even noticed the one time lookup/provisioning delay when i first tested it. thanks!

part of the problem is that i bought the domain through bluesky and as a result their domain tools are limited i’m gonna see if i can have them transfer it so i have more control thank you.

No worries.

Yep.

Jeez no !Had a quick look ,but i have issues gettin me hoover on the right setting!

One detail of adding my own domain that surprised me is that my bluesky handle became immediately available for squatting - I re-registered it, but it would be cool if I could have multiple handles without multiple accounts that all funnel to my primary username URL

@mnateshyamalan.bsky.social congrats on you being on the front page of bsky.social

Sounds interesting

oh hey neat

Apparently it looks like every single other social feed has looked for about the last 20 years. Almost identical to a Twitter profile too. What exactly is supposed to be so revolutionary here?

Locked accounts please already

I wonder what a Jerry selling the team would look like. #selltheteam #whitesox #firepedro

Yeah me too

You get a cookie for that.

How would a trending tab turn this into a dumpster fire? all it would do is let you know what people are yapping about, hell i would be happy with a feeds esk thing where it’s customizable/optional, just having that as an option would be nice instead of a hard no.

That wasn’t how trending worked on twitter to begin with, a lot of the time if a lot of people talked about 1 thing it would appear, was very handy for anything that was being talked about. I would rather die than rejoin that nazi site, but it’s just a thing I would like to see again

Oh, will look into this

Twitter's Trending was often toxic, encouraged dogpiling, and spread misinformation. Also it kind of goes against bsky's "choose your algorithm/customize your community" system. Just one example of some problems below. Now, maybe custom unofficial Trendings could be created, like custom feeds?

yes!! i love this, that’s a great design call

Cool

Nope, that's exactly what they are proclaiming as being the future... Exactly the same thing social media websites have all been doing almost identically for the last 20 years it's apparently an exciting new concept to these guys...

When do you guys plan on adding video support? I want to be able to post videos on here and I assume many others would like to as well.

If you're saying you've got automatic subdomains based upon the url.... Then say that.

It's a for-profit corp, they are going to do it. But the tech and some of the software is FOSS so you can spin your own stuff up if you want. I know not ideal but that's what everyone had to do to have a website back in the 90's

I just want gifs and hashtags

Didn’t work for me.

is this not the fediverse? you're reinventing the fediverse

Finally, no more long and ugly link sharing, I can just copy and paste the username

😅 Yes - together with a cartoon with a wonderful fairytale world :)

I'm going to answer the philosophical rhetorical here. For me a social internet would like a lot like LiveJournal used to. Its structure would be fairly horizontal, with space for communities where equal participants can share thoughts, plus a personal "blog" space, visually simple, easy to read.

home of pro-genocidal propaganda

Is that like a fediverse thing?

Ohh lol

Neither does this:

Will you guys add verified icons?

PLEASE: When we hover over someone's name, please let us see if that person is following us.

I hope I can ask a question, will there be a chat function, if so, is it being worked on or if there shouldn't be a chat function why not? I really hate Bluesky and I no longer have another social media account. Then I and many other people put everything together

Yes, it is really beautiful here

Great idea.

this is precisely how it always should have worked. Thanks for the QoL fix :)

@bsky.app Not working what’s up with this?

Nope, just looks to be some Marketing BS.

Think of it more like a short URL without having to use something like bit.ly. And when you have a custom domain you can retain your own branding for the link: bsky.andreslucero.com

It’s hilarious it took you this long to figure that out. It was literally the first thing I noticed 😆

yoooo my jano.social link works!
