one thing I feel Bluesky hasn’t taken advantage of is being able to build new forms of interaction it’s twitter. It is. There’s nothing that would make me want to use it over twitter if I’d not already made that choice. No different ways to engage, nothing unique.

I think having a ton of different ways to post on this platform *could* be great both for users and for marketing. Mix in features Twitter nuked, conceptualize new ones, yoink and twist from non-microblogging platforms.

Put them as beta! Make the lexicon app.bsky.beta.*. Flag us in. But play with the opportunity.

communities are coming to Bluesky this year. today, Bluesky is one big space. communities will be smaller spaces inside that where you can go deeper and hang out with people who care about the same stuff.

I’m definitely aware of this and think it’s a great step! Communities are great and I’m sure there’s a lot more that can come from them.

I’m also interested in seeing the pie grow even more and shipping small, new content types more frequently would be *really* nice for increasing differentiation + getting more people who aren’t interested or who are on the fence to try it out.

Even something like “Community recommended feeds” and having For You at the top of that is the simplest example of leaning into differentiation 😛

The startup I worked at years ago tried to do a communities feature. Having spent a fair bit of time trying to design that product I think it is a great fit for bluesky. The blending of experiences between public and semi-private is missing in the text based social media afaik.
