The post composer now explains the benefit of alt text, which we hope will encourage folks to write alt text. The alt text editor now also shows the image along side the alt text input field.

A screenshot of the post compose screen. There are two thumbnails of natural scenery, and a text field that explains the benefits of alt text: “Alt text describes images for blind and low-vision users, and helps give context to everyone.”
A screenshot of the screen to add alt text. An image of a lake with mountains in the background fills the top half of the screen. On the bottom half, there is a text field that prompts users: “Add alt text.”

Posts now include a “Language” control. This update should fix a common problem with poor language detection filtering posts out of feeds. This can be set to multiple languages, and it defaults to your device’s chosen language(s). It will remember the last choice you made.

A screenshot of the post compose screen. The language button, which says “en” for English, is highlighted with a red arrow.
A screenshot of the post languages screen. It asks, “Which languages are used in this post? The toggle for English is on, and many other languages are listed alphabetically below.

Speaking of text…could you also please add the ability to select text in a post? Doesn’t seem to be supported currently in iOS once a post is published

oh sweet i was just using that to post this screenshot of the feedback i sent you! 😮

screenshot of feedback i sent the Bluesky team that reads: "Why won't you just spend some funds on hiring a diverse set of moderators for the app? This would solve the already rampant anti-Black racsim problem, the growing transphobia problem, and address the issue of self harm posts in a personal and humane way, rather than relying on TOS rules and algorithms. Plus, you can boast adding jobs, a think you techy capitalists types swear you're all about but never actually do!"

Alt is short for Alternate; it makes sense in a small button, or as a HTML attribute name, but for paragraphs describing it, it would seem reasonable to expand it to the full name, since it helps give (even more) context to why it exists.

Speaking of alt text, is there a way of indicating it is included without obscuring the post being described?

Awesome updates! I’ll send suggestions/q’s separately cause I don’t want to hit y’all with a bunch of “what about”s — I feel like that can be discouraging when you’re here showing all your hard work. Thank you!!
