Significantly longer than expected outage due to some personal emergencies, but service should be coming back now

Expect service interruptions for the next hour or so while we work through some security patches with our vendors

I'm now realizing that this sounds like podcast creation instead of consumption Which is what I get for writing these announcements off the cuff first thing Monday morning

Our podcasting experience offers: - Full search for podcasts - Queueing - Custom feed links - Clipping - Remove Silences - Playback Speed controls

Avoid The Discourse™️on The Social Wire with one simple toggle: this will disable all Bluesky/Microblogging features while letting you keep up with the news The Wire and Your Circle use data from across the Atmosphere, not just Bluesky engagement, to bring you the news, with less engagement bait

These new additions further our goal to be your home on the social web Like all of our other feeds, though, you also have the ability to disable any you don't use to keep your sidebar nice and clean!

Our Bluesky experience pulls in a lot of queues from our sibling app, Quill (which is currently only available on iOS), but refined for the web Some of what we've got so far: - Full support for feeds, lists, notifications, explore, and DMs - Full Markdown support in the editor - Quoted quotes

When you click on a link, Apple prompts you to install the TestFlight app, which is built and maintained by Apple (in the App Store) to manage the apps that you have in beta on your device. apps.apple.com/us/app/testf... It also manages feedback, so you can send us issues with just a screenshot ;)

Prefer to use a semble collection as your read later source? Now you can set any collection to be your read later tab, with all read later actions in The Social Wire accommodating the change, treating it as a first-class read later source alongside L@tr.link

- Your Circle is another feed similar to The Wire, but it's just about bringing the posts that the people closest to you are talking about—it pulls in the same data, but only from people you follow and people they follow

Hello! Sam here! Just letting you know that we're working on a migration and you might see some downtime! This also goes for the "read later" and "archive" feeds in @thesocialwire.app

Good Morning Everyone! You should now start seeing the NEW layout for The Social Wire! This new layout is designed to feel more like other social apps you may be used to using (like this one). Every standard.site article will now open in the original site with the option to do the same for RSS!

Ultimately we made these changes to bring users to publications, not the other way around In the blogging renaissance, we're seeing more and more articles and discussions published outside of the typical social media feed

Good Morning Everyone! You should now start seeing the NEW layout for The Social Wire! This new layout is designed to feel more like other social apps you may be used to using (like this one). Every standard.site article will now open in the original site with the option to do the same for RSS!

The new design should also feel a bit snappier and will further help as we continue to grow our feed offerings in the coming weeks and months! Additionally, we've added a feedback form powered by @userinput.app for reporting any questions/comments/concerns you may have

Lastly, we've refreshed the Settings feed allowing you to change the theme, font, where your RSS articles open, and which feeds show up in your list and show unread counts
