Utilities or appviews that have implement link markdown!

Markdown is away to posts text with hyperlinks on blueksy, similar to the process on Reddit & Github.

See thie Youtube video by Debbie Ridpath Ohi on how to use it.

Utilities i am aware of that allows you to use markdown:-

If you know of any other utilities that support it tag me @corkiejp.github.io on bluesky or reply on site I have posted this!

There is a draft of this guide on my Github Pages

I hate when you add an icon to the post, it changes the link URL, had to edit my post!

 

Post Notifications from @posts.listifications.app

From the same creator (Dominik Picheta) as the popular Listifications utility!

This is an early beta, in testing phase at the moment!

It is easy to setup by doing the following:-

  • Create a list of accounts you want to be notified about on your profile called “Post Notifications”! Not mod list!
  • Follow posts.listifications.app
  • Enable ongoing conversations from the account by sending a DM/Chat to it. No need to have chats open to everyone!
  • On the list detail the reason for it in the description, so accounts don't block to get of the list. Ask them to tag you for removal!
  • Having the list feed is a handy way to see the posts notified to your account.
  • See below for details on the limitations of the notification system at present!

Limitations of above!

  • You at present get notifications from accounts with a large following only
    • "set up so that only accounts with 10k+ followers are eligible"
    • "it's only top-level posts. You won't be notified when people repost or reply to others."
  • You don't need to have a large following yourself to use it.
  • Bluesky Thread discussing it.

How to find accounts that meet the criteria?

Use an analytics tool of your choice to find the followers of yours that have a large following!

Recently came across Blueview.app by Simon Holmes which gives that information.

Note:- Above is an extract from a new github page I created which also mentions bluenotify! Linked above.

 

You can select accounts to be trusted verifiers instead of relying on accounts selected by bsky, NYT or wired!

For the haters? You don't have to see the new mark. Disable it in settings, moderation.

 

Outside of the top three accounts announced to be verifiers (bsky,NYT,wired), I have come across two high profile accounts with it!

 

I don't get what an accounts real world reality has got to do with their online presence? It is of no concern to me what gender, race or how you identify yourself. I judge characters that I not likely to meet in real life based on the content they share and interact with it online.

Thankfully Bluesky has started to react to Bad Faith lists creators.

Moving forward, lists and starter packs with insulting profanity, slurs, abusive terms, or unproven allegations will be hidden from other users in the Bluesky app (but still visible to the creator).

Question mark is anyone going to use it! Training for AI, that you hopefully can opt out of if you start using it?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

#Meta says it will resume AI training with public content from European users!

Meta said it will start notifying users in the EU about the training, and will include a link to a form where they can object at any time. “We’ll honour all objection forms,” the company said. No need to wait, it is possible to opt out now, but I think you need to do it on each platform.

How Meta uses information for generative AI models and features

You can submit an objection request through your Facebook, Instagram or Meta account. Your objection will be applied to the account that you’re logged in to and any accounts that you’ve added to the same Accounts Centre.

Yet to find a link for threads, and they say they don’t scrape private messages, so no need for messenger?

Threads maybe be covered by Instagram?

Using skyfeed.app and the below list as input. https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:e4elbtctnfqocyfcml6h2lf7/lists/3l53cjwlt4o2s

I turned MAGA Moderation list by ‪@skywatch.blue‬ into a feed. So you can see the content you will be blocking or muting! Maybe choose to block or add individual accounts to your own list! Using the above as an example only and just a test! It is easy to create these feed for any list/s you want.

skyfeed.app blocks

Here is the example feed: - https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:lgjvdkqeeutvf7zj6wow3jro/feed/aaacmyy2orsms Probably will delete the above feed in a week, just using it as a test example!

Control your own moderation!

Your interest options is now also in settings, so you can close it in the search link, if you want!

Doing the rounds now as well by Irish Media i.e. RTE & Examiner!

My approval for my account to be scrapped has been disabled since last year. Have you that setting turned off?

It will be interesting to find out, if the platform is honouring that setting. My account is protected and my last post on the platform was 2 Feb and a reply on 28th March.

Didn't know of change in the international name: -

[1] XIUC advised the DPC on 25 March 2025 that, from 1 April 2025, the name of the Irish entity and Data Controller for EU users of X would change from Twitter International Unlimited Company (‘TIUC’) to X Internet Unlimited Company as part of ongoing Twitter to X rebranding efforts.

Edit: - Linking to grok settings not allowed on here?

Also overnight it was added to website as well now! https://bsky.app/search

Cool feature add is to change your interests you first selected when creating your account. So if your still seeing a lot of cats & dogs pictures. You can finally un-select that option.

As for chats. That is set to only receive chats from ongoing conversations for me. So don’t think I will be using the react feature much.

Also on android, had to search for the update. It did not appear in apps needing to be updated!

Was just jumping on to share this glad I searched first!

I shared this earlier in an reply on reddit. So thought it might be handy on here as well. I am aware of the 'Awesome Bluesky' list on github. So if your in the know of other power user tools that should be add to the list comment below or tag me on socials.

Power User

If you want to upgrade your 'Bluesky' usuage to next level? Here is a list of utilities for your toolbox!

First one came to my attention ~~recently~~ by a r/BlueskySocial/ post

Github page with the above!

 

If you were reliant on it? Are you think that method is to public.

You could create your own feed with skyfeed.app using your own specific string of characters instead.

The two emojis that work on their own in regex are: - 📌 & 🔖

I have setup my own feed that searches just my own accounts. Example of the fields needed on skyfeed are: -

Example skyfeed blocks

Bluesky Post with the above

I have update my own regex to contain the following:-

📌|🔖|ⓘforme:|Note!🔖

So you could possibly use your own keywords for not so public declaration that your bookmarking a post.

My feed in operation, only showing my accounts.

Thanks for the suggested edit for my page! Will edit it in shortly.

 

Pretty new to Lemmy, so don't know if people look for Bluesky support on this? The content which I have posted a few times on Bluesky got re posted today. So I thought I would try post here as well.

One of my favourite methods is kyst.app has a DM method and webpage to see the bookmarks so cross device support. For private DM's to an alt, and I still use the 📌/ 🔖 method.
