- 📢 Ozone distro 0.1.6 just went out! What's new: • Manage your team of moderators and their roles • Plug in external labelers to see labels added by them on any record • Drop content in a globally available workspace that lets you visualize and action subjects in bulk (1/2)
- We’re launching microgrants for labeling services! We're distributing $10,000 total in microgrants of $500 each. Read this blog post for more details about the program and how to apply: docs.bsky.app/blog/label-g...
- In the last year, we opened federation on the production network, demonstrated account migration, launched stackable moderation, and more. While we work on product features for the Bluesky app, we're also making progress on protocol maturity and stability. Read more in the 2024 protocol roadmap:
- What's next for Bluesky? We're working on some of your most requested features: DMs, video, improved Custom Feeds, better anti-harassment features, and a new login tool called "OAuth" Check out the roadmap here: bsky.social/about/blog/0...
- Things are looking all-green (blue?) now, though we will continue to monitor the situation. As mentioned earlier, some downstream services may need a restart if they failed to automatically re-connect to the firehose.
- Our team is investigating a hardware issue with the primary Bluesky Relay service (bsky.network), which hosts the network firehose. Posts and other interactions may be intermittently delayed from all PDS instances.

- Meet the second batch of AT Protocol Grant recipients! In this batch, we distributed $4.8k in grants. Congratulations to all of the recipients so far, and thank you to everyone who has applied — we're very grateful to have such a great developer ecosystem. docs.bsky.app/blog/atproto...
- Moderation is a crucial aspect of social networks. However, traditional moderation systems leave communities vulnerable to sudden policy changes and mismanagement. To build a better social media ecosystem, it's necessary to try new approaches. docs.bsky.app/blog/bluesky...
- Announcing AT Protocol Grants, to foster the growth and sustainability of the atproto developer ecosystem! In the first iteration, we’ll distribute a total of $10,000 in micro grants of $500 to $2,000 per project based on factors like cost, usage, and more. Read more and apply here:
- 👋 Hello to the 260+ self-hosters that have joined the network over the last week! (Notice how nothing has changed about the in-app experience? 😎) Developers, in case you missed it, we enabled federation for self-hosters last week. Read this guide to learn how to set up your own server!
- Developers! Starting today, you can host your own data. Read our blog post on early access federation for self-hosters for details on how to get started: docs.bsky.app/blog/self-ho...
- Today, we’re excited to announce that the Bluesky network is federating, or opening up in a way that allows you to host your own data! Read more here for how this will affect your experience on Bluesky (in short: it won’t) and why this matters. bsky.social/about/blog/0...
- Dev tip: The firehose is a stream of real-time public actions taken on the network from a single endpoint. It's incredibly powerful and can be used to build real-time charts, interactive bots, and more! Try Daniel's command quoted below, or read our guide here: docs.bsky.app/docs/advance...
- Developers, build in an open ecosystem that will never lock you out 🛠️ Check out tutorials, starter templates, and a project showcase for the Bluesky API on our new docs site here! docs.bsky.app
- great to see this — a Bluesky integration in Postpone, an app you can use to crosspost across platforms, schedule posts, track analytics, and more 🙌
