Bluesky releases an in-app video and music player along with a new ‘hide post’ feature.
If you’re a fan of decentralized social network Bluesky, then hold onto your seats because they’ve just introduced some exciting new features! In a move that brings Bluesky’s user experience one step closer to that of Twitter, the platform has rolled out an in-app video and music player for links, as well as a nifty “hide post” feature. 🙌
📹 The Ultimate Video and Music Player 🎶
Bluesky’s brand-new video and music player is a game-changer for content consumption. This nifty addition seamlessly works with popular platforms such as YouTube, SoundCloud, Spotify, and Twitch embeds. Unlike its rival, Twitter, Bluesky’s player doesn’t bombard you with autoplay videos. It’s a more considerate player that requires you to tap on the content if you want to watch or listen to it. No surprises here, just pure control over your browsing experience. 😉
🙈 Hide and Seek with Posts 🕵️♀️
Ever come across a post that makes you cringe or just doesn’t float your boat? Bluesky has got you covered with its new “hide post” feature. Simply click on it, and voila! The post vanishes from your feeds, like it never existed. But wait, there’s more! If you happen to stumble upon the offending post directly, Bluesky will kindly shroud it behind a virtual mask. Phew, crisis averted! 😅
🐞 Bug Fixes and Quality Tweaks 👩💻
In addition to these exciting new additions, Bluesky has also taken care of some pesky bugs that were bugging its users. They’ve fixed a bug that caused muted and blocked account listings to appear empty. No more confusion or frustration there! Bluesky has also resolved an issue that occasionally caused an empty home screen. And let’s not forget about that annoying crash bug that would sometimes crash your experience while interacting with threads. Good riddance to all those pesky gremlins! 🚫🐛
🔓 Opening Up to Non-Logged-In Users 👀
Just a few days ago, Bluesky made an exciting move that had users jumping for joy. They finally allowed users to view posts on the platform without having to log in. Hallelujah! While creating an account and posting still requires an invite, users can now freely read posts through a link. This has opened up new opportunities for publishers, who can now link to or embed Bluesky posts in their blogs. And as an added bonus, users can easily share Bluesky posts in individual or group chats. It’s all about sharing the love! ❤️
🚀 The Sky’s the Limit for Bluesky ⭐️
Bluesky has been on a roll lately! After launching their iOS and Android apps back in February, they recently celebrated reaching an impressive milestone of 2 million users. 👏 But they’re not stopping there. Bluesky has its sights set on federation “early next year,” meaning it aims to become an even more open social network, similar to Mastodon. With federation, users will have more freedom to choose which servers to join and move their accounts around at will. It’s a bright future ahead for Bluesky! 🌈✨
