the bsky team is working on various ideas for creating smaller social spaces in the app. which use case is most interesting to you? 1. posting into "topics" that organize public posts 2. posting into "communities" or "groups" that can be public or private 3. posting directly to your followers only

I got "Preparing your total and payment took too long. Please retry." at first, but I retried again and then it finally worked!

I'm seeing "Could not prepare payment (HTTP 502)" on the checkout payment section, any issues on your end? Selected payment method is an amex card

Gotcha. I can see that making sense in the context of counting down vs counting up in another language. But it might not work as well if you introduce other card orders Just my two cents though! Excited to see where you take OpenDeck

What's the logic behind different progress records for different directions?

Michael Black @michael.bsky.team · 23/09/2026
Great to hear! Makes a lot more sense. I tried going back through a card that I had already done to see how my records changed, but it seemed like a new record was created for progress on the same card. But it actually looks like it's a "reverse" progress record pdsls.dev/at://did:plc...

This is great! I really dig the UI and how easy it is to get started I do wonder if the lexicon design is a bit noisy though. Regular usage could result in a ton of progress records being created in a relatively short amount of time

What I like about bookhive is that it's part of the Atmosphere, so I can login with the same account I use for Bluesky and see book activity from the people I already follow here

I just learned Goodreads is owned by Amazon. Womp. All the more reason to use @bookhive.buzz or @popfeed.social

I'm being facetious in my post, but generally speaking I try not to let these things bother me. And when I opted in for list/block notifications, I told myself I would opt out if it ever started to bother me

I'm on iOS 27 and on the latest TF build, so yes. But I'm not too familiar with access control on TF, so I'm not sure why you wouldn't be able to find the latest builds.
