Bluesky now has a particular tab for mentions in your notifications as a part of the app’s just-released 1.96 replace. With the mentions tab, it’s a lot simpler to see your replies or conversations you’ve been tagged in on the platform.
Talking of replies, replace 1.96 enables you to simply entry settings that allow you to management how replies on posts seem to you. Replies will be linear, that means they present up one publish after one other, or threaded, which implies they’ll seem in indented threads (form of like how they seem on Reddit). You can even type replies by latest, oldest, most-liked, “sizzling,” and “random” (which Bluesky additionally calls “Poster’s Roulette”).
Should you select to set a customized area as your username, with 1.96, Bluesky may also reserve your previous .bsky.social identify in order that it might’t be picked up by another person. I want this function had been out there after I set my customized area — after I did that, I made an alt account that’s parked on my previous .bsky.social identify in order that it doesn’t get taken.
