BLUESKY - ADVANCED OVERVIEW. HIDDEN FEATURES you didn’t know about

Hello everyone! Are you a BlueSky user looking to get more out of the app? Well, you're in luck! In this blog post, we'll go over some advanced features and hidden gems that you may not have known about.

Firstly, did you know that you can change your handle to your registered domain? This means that your username could be something like name.yourdomain.com. To do this, you'll need a domain and access to DNS management. Once you've made the changes to your DNS, all your replies and interactions will still be kept. This feature is unique to the decentralized nature of BlueSky and is not available on other social media platforms.

Next, there's a cool interaction graph available on the BlueSky website. It lets you see the top users and who they're interacting with. While this feature is not yet as advanced as Twitter's ChirpTee, it is a great way to get a glimpse of your connections and explore some new users.

If you enjoy social audio, you might want to check out the Audio Spaces website. This is a standalone service that resembles Twitter Spaces. However, it allows BlueSky users to have real-time audio chats. Simply log in with your BlueSky account, and you're ready to go! In the future, the app developers plan to integrate this service within the BlueSky app.

Security-conscious users will appreciate BlueSky's feature to generate passwords for other apps. This way, you can use a different password for each app without compromising your main BlueSky password. Simply go to settings, click on "advanced app password," and generate a password for your favorite app.

If you're accessing BlueSky on the web, you'll need to go to staging.bluesky.app. However, there's a web client that allows you to see a custom timeline. This feature is available on the browser and lets you see what's hot, one from each mutual, and even preview some topics. You can also edit your feed from here.

It's important to highlight that the app is still in beta mode, and there are limitations, such as not being able to post videos or audio files. However, more features and apps are coming, and BlueSky is definitely worth checking out. Its minimalistic design makes it easy to navigate, and being based on AT protocol, it aims to offer a new, decentralized social media experience.

In conclusion, BlueSky has some exciting features that can enhance your experience as a user. Hopefully, this has given you a better idea of what the app can offer and how to use it in new and exciting ways. Keep exploring and discovering what BlueSky has in store for you!
