📸 Bluesky Photography

We've identified another photography imposter. lensbyannie .bsky .social 🧵1/2

New Photography Feed: We're still focused on our website launch (⏳), but when @starlitwaltz.bsky.social reached out & asked if we could craft a feed for infrared & ultraviolet photography, we couldn't say no. Full Spectrum Photos highlights work from selected IR & UV photographers on Bluesky.

If this piques your interest, don't forget to like, pin, and share the feed with others. If you pin the feed you can find it in the app without having to come back to our profile, while liking and sharing helps others find the feed and lets us know we're on the right direction.

Feed Issue: There are some ongoing performance issues (Bluesky is really taking off) that are still causing some posts that should hit feeds to get dropped; impacting more than just us. This is related to the earlier issue with ML image classification in landscapes, but separate (no hotfix avail.)

Feed Issue: We’ve identified an issue with some posts that should have made it onto the landscape feed getting filtered out. We’ve implemented a temporary fix until we can figure out what happened. If you made a post and didn’t see it make it, we apologize and it hopefully won’t reoccur.

New Photography Feed: We've been hard at work tuning our first curated topical feed & are pleased to share the results with you! This first one is dedicated to the amazing landscape photographers of Bluesky! Let us know what you think; we'll continue to tune it over the next several days! 🧵 1/5

After that, we'll take what we've learned from the landscape feed, and replicate it across a number of other topics (e.g. street, portrait, wildlife, concerts). Don't forget to check out our two flagship feeds, Photography (New)... 🧵4/5

Feed Update: The Fujifilm Shooters feed has been updated to identify photo posts that reference any name or model of a Fujifilm camera, even if not using hashtags. While this change is not retroactive, going forward the feed will feature a much larger % of Fujifilm photography on Bluesky. 🧵 1/4

We're also continuing to make improvements to our flagship feeds, Photography (New) & Photography (Trending), & have curated a number of additional accounts. Please note that if you were recently added, it may take up to 12 hours before your new posts begin showing in the curated feeds. 🧵 3/4

Feed Update: The Sony Alpha Shooters feed should be more accurate going forward; it was picking up some non-photography posts containing terms like A1, A7, & A9. Next up we'll be working on improving the Nikon and Fujifilm feeds; directing our efforts based on the feeds getting the most use. 🧵 1/3

We've got much more planned for release this coming weekend, including some of the promised topical feeds (e.g. portraits, landscape). The website, which will include detailed feed inclusion criteria and a feed/feature roadmap is also coming along nicely. 🧵 2/3

annnnnd it's broken. XD Had to revert to an older model while we debug our regex a bit.
