Did you know that you can block a user's posts from showing up in your feed? If your feed searches for terms that are used for different things - for instance, if one is the name of someone's pet, you can use 'block user' on their post in your dashboard. This only blocks them from your feed.

I've just made a cat videos feed! The content we all need on Bluesky 😁
Well team, great news! Videos are coming ... slowly. If you're one of the lucky ones who can post them, good for you. Those of us without video privileges can filter them into our feeds, though! You'll see in your feed settings that we now have options for videos.

And then here's an exciting one - we hear that video is on the way soon. Along with posting all the cat videos we've been hoarding since getting off Twitter, we're also going to be updating so that your feed filters can respond to video content. We're hoping we'll have it up and running quick smart!

Good morning, team - or good afternoon or evening! A few updates from us. We've been trying different server setups over the last few days, to keep up with the influx of new users. Things have been up and down while we did that and we think we've got it right now, but let us know if you have issues.
For those asking me about how I create my custom feeds: I use @blueskyfeedcreator.comblueskyfeedcreator.com/features
I’m impressed at how well @blueskyfeedcreator.com has coped with the recent surge in Bluesky posting. The server slowed down and built up a bit of a backlog, but all of the feeds stayed online—unlike some other feed creators we could mention! Full marks to Eddie for keeping everything running! 👏
