Feed Dashboards, New Feeds & Other Recent Updates

Six New Feeds Added

The second batch of new art feeds have been added last weekend, thanks to suggestions from the community. These feeds include Printmaking, Tattoos, Fiber Art, Digital Art, Digital 3D Art and Street Art.

Feed Dashboards

Now at the top of each feed is a pinned post with a link taking you to a dashboard. These pages display information on how to add post to the feeds, how they’re sorted, top hashtags and posters and a section to write in suggestions and report posts/accounts.

Live stats arent working for every feed and I can’t figure out why yet. I’ll be working on that this weekend.

Recent Changes to Feeds

Artist Feeds:

The three Artists Feeds (Trending, Discover and New) have been updated to include all hashtags across the all the art feeds. For a full list, please visit the feed dashboards.

Artist Feeds also now take the “🎨🖌️” emojis as input, a community suggestion based on the BookSky feed by @clarabelle.xyz

Artist Feed: Trending now has a lower time-decay, this will rotate through trending posts a bit faster.

Traditional Media Feeds:

The Traditional Media Feed was updated to exclude a handful of new AI-related hashtags and phrases.

All feeds have AI exclusion lists, but Traditional Media is the first to get this extended exclusion list. It can be added to other feeds as its needed.

Tattoo Feed:

The Tattoo Feed was full of adult content based on tattoo-related hashtags, because of this, a very long list of excluded hashtags and phrases were added to help with this to help alleviate this. Keeping up with this will be ongoing, so please set moderation in your Bluesky App settings if you haven’t already.

Fiber Art Feed:

Several new hashtags have been added to the Fiber Art Feed:

  • SpinningWheel
  • HandSpinning
  • DropSpindle
  • CrossStitch
