📢 App Version 1.96 is rolling out now (1/6) In this release: a notifications Mentions tab, reserving your default username when you verify your account with a domain, and other improvements!

📢 1.96 is rolling out now (2/6) The Notifications screen now has a tab called “Mentions,” so you can more easily keep up with your replies and conversations.

📢 1.96 is rolling out now (3/6) If you change your bsky.social username to your own domain, your old username will now be reserved for you! Only your most recent `.bsky.social` username is reserved, and it does not expire. bsky.social/about/blog/4...

After verifying with my domain, I created a new account with bsky.social username as a backup. Is there a way to merge the two, now?

You can't merge them, but if you want to associate the "reserved" handle with your main account, you can rename your backup account to something else (or delete it), then do a quick swap to-and-from the bsky.social handle on your main account, and that'll mark your handle as reserved.
