Ratings and reviews

I've been running into a lot of bugs, random crashes and things like my profile info not saving. I've been getting errors when I try to post pictures or video. I also don't like that I can't mute or block someone directly from the feed and that I have to click into their profile to do it. I don't think the "show less of this" button actually does anything. I've had to resort to making a really long muted words list just to try and combat the garbage on my discovery feed.

Need a way to remove unwanted followers since blocking doesn't do it (which it should), there's no way of making your account private (which there should be), and the spam accounts are really starting to roll in. Needs to stop refreshing feed and jumping to the top/most recent posts if away from the app for a bit. Should always pick up where you left off. You have the capability to refresh to the top of the feed if you want; forcing it is why I don't engage with FB and Instagram.

The app functionality is garbage - it doesn't load properly more than half the time. Profile headers will get stuck and won't disappear as you scroll so you can't view posts properly, and the whole app freezes if you tap on an image to expand it so you have to exit out. It's a pain to just try to scroll through because of how buggy it is. It happens regardless of signal strength or if I'm on Wi-Fi.

What’s new

Today, we're introducing Find Friends — a new way to find the people you know on Bluesky with your phone contacts. Unlike other apps, we've invented a far more secure way to handle contact data, and we put full control of it in your hands.

Social media used to be about connecting with friends. Somewhere along the way, that got lost in the noise of viral content and algorithms. It's time to bring friends back.
