The September BB update is live! This release is packed with improvements and new features, so let's get to it. We'll start with our most requested feature...

Beacon Bits

@beaconbits.app

You can now import check-ins from Foursquare/Swarm, Google, Yelp and various other geo formats. A lot of work went into making sure imports go smoothly, but would love your help testing this beta feature across all formats. You'll find this under Settings -> Import Data

I have 15,000 check-ins on swarm are you sure you want me to test this? Haha.

Would love to hear from you about testing this for importing place linked photos to Fotoshi, 15k check ins is good news 😎 Can we give it a go?

We've got some sweet updates for beacon posts. Image uploads now work without having to post to Bluesky, and we've raised the upload limit up to 10. We've also increased the character limit for posts up to 2000, and added support for Markdown with the new @markpub.at lexicon.

Last but not least is a new world layer for showing @lexicon.community events in the map view.  Use it to find and read about events around the globe or in your area.
