A lot of the feeds on this account are using Skyfeed for building & hosting. I have been a paying supporter since VERY early on but Skyfeed needs more support in order to cover costs. IF you have the funds to do so, please become a subscriber. 😎 🟢

SkyFeed hosts 91,000 custom feeds for 865 € a month, just shy of 1 cent per feed 🪙🦜 The SkyFeed Pro sub now covers 11% of that and makes feeds you published refresh faster. You don't have to build feeds to subscribe, getting a sub for 5 €/month also helps keep the ones you read running!

It’s tricky because of how it’s set up currently. It’s not looking at images, it’s created with regex. I have to be able to see patterns in the posts to do removals that matter long term. Either phrases of off topic content (usually a new name) or specific accounts regularly off topic.

There are a number of ways to build feeds & this is only one of them. But hopefully this video answers some questions people might have about the simplest feeds I've set up. Video is under 5 minutes & has closed captioning if you don't want to turn on audio. 😎

So I ended up doing a short video on how I'm building feeds using one of my simpler feeds. I've had some questions recently about "how do I post to the moss feed" and I feel like the simplest explanation is that the way I'm building is like having a hashtag-less hashtag. vimeo.com/1036137697/a...

Also - if you'r trying to understand the basics of what you should be using in your image (and video) alt text, this graphic is a helpful reminder. bsky.app/profile/vero...

I’m glad so many people have found my “capybara method” for how to write alt text and image descriptions helpful! However, I know conflicting access needs exist and not everyone can write their own #AltText, so here’s an ongoing thread of tools that can help. Inclusion in thread ≠ endorsement

FWIW, you'll be seeing some adjustments in the unofficial Wordpress feed here because it's made it to a place where it's not as useful to me. I want this feed to be more conversational & less sales pitch. I can point anyone who wants something different to various Bluesky feed building resources.

I realized I’m avoiding finessing the unofficial Wordpress feed because I don’t want anyone coming at me over changes… but it’s getting kinda ads-ish when it should be info & discussion. I’ll probably clean it up like I do other feeds soon? If you don’t like mine, you too can make a feed. 🤷‍♀️

Happy 1 year 🎂 to the Moss feed! 🟢🎉 It was set up on a whim & it wasn't my first feed but it has been my most popular feed. And thank you to @redsolver.dev 's @skyfeed.app which made it possible for me to do it very early with just an understanding of regex.

For everyone here, wasn't the point of my post but everyone's lovely photos (whether you're the photog or not) made me decide to try & throw together a quick moss feed. Only posts with photos. 😎 https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:x3cya3wkt4n6u4ihmvpsc5if/feed/aaacynbxwimok
