Hello, A couple issues I have been having. One is the audio from a previous video playing while I continue to scroll. The second is my screen times out during longer form videos. I'm not sure if that's a skylight setting or if I need to change it on my end. Thank you for your work. 😁

The Follow button on the search page under the users tab does not work and you have to go into their page to follow them

Thank you Tori! Amazing progress this week! I am so happy to welcome all the TikTok refugees. I left TT months ago. You are doing your part to protect first amendment freedoms. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!

One more thing. After scrolling through about 30 vids, it locks up. I have to restart my phone to reset it. Seems to happen after I play a video link. I played Lady Gaga’s new song, lockup. FYI.

Why can’t I just access your site. Nearly every time you want me to prove who I am and now I can’t sign in at all unless I am willing to let you share my info through another app.

Thank you for all of this! Would it be possible to pull the progress line on the bottom to adjust where we are in the video? It would also be great to be able to move the cursor in the comments to edit mistakes without deleting everything back to what you want to change. Thanks again!

They're doing OTA updates which don't go through the App/Play Store. The app pulls these changes when you open it.

We’re out of beta now, so I would recommend redownloading. Although, I’d be interested to see what your app looks like! What version are you on? Caveat: we’re only available in North America currently

It’s been non-beta for a while and so you need to go to the App Store to get it proper. Note it’s only available in the US right now though, so if you were testing from not-HS you won’t have access (bc $$ reasons)

@buildwithtori.com I know you and your team still working on both apps, but Skylight is working very bad right now, please check the likes, when I click on it just don’t do anything, if I try to refresh still showing me the same videos, I can’t share videos, it’s becoming a nightmare 🙁

why isn't the app available in Australia? i get an error message when i follow the app store link telling me that Skylight Social isn't available in my country :(

I've had to follow a lot of channels on Bluesky to get more varied content. More of a Bluesky comment but I wish there was a way to have a separate interface of channels and then to pin only the ones I search for the most at the top. The forever scrolling actoss the top is getting to be too much.

Letterbox is bars at the top and bottom. Pillarbox is when the bars are on the left and right. Either case is when the video isn't kept in the native aspect ratio and data is added, the black bars, to fill the frame. My upset is there's no setting to turn it off and vertical videos fare poorly

😪😪😪😪😪 I am still not getting logged in, even so it recognizes my bluesky account. It tells me I am logged in, return to skylight, and again, the message for me to log in. This was now from a fresh install from the playstore.

Thanks for the updates we appreciate the continuous improvement. Curious though how can I stop seeing a certain genre videos? For instance I have hit not interested in hundreds of cat videos but yet I still see them

They’re just using data to try and match you to content you wanna see. So liking posts and following people are the main things they’re using rn

We're not outside the US yet due to budgetary constraints, but we absolutely want to be! Hopefully we'll be out to you all soon :)
