Bluesky adds private bookmarks | TechCrunch

Social Networking Startup Blusky is turning the most in-demand features of the user-no, not the editing button! – Bookmarks

The company announced a new addition on Monday, which it calls reserved posts. The feature is accessible through a new bookmark icon at the bottom of each post, next to the heart for love.

It doesn’t work for everyone, because you save some things is personal, or not just the kind of thing you want to make publicly.

Instead, the company has created a way Save any user bookmark off-protocol Suddenly, which lets them be personal, like the DMS (private message) of Bluesky. If and when the protocol is developed to support personal data, Things may changeThe

In the meantime, adding posts stored in Bluiceki can encourage users to be more involved with the platform, as well as a way to look back at a synthesized collection of posts that you just want to refer to later than just scrolling your feeds. It will also provide options to reply to posts with that red Pushpin Emoji, as many blusky users now act as a job for the posts that want to return. (There is even one Pretty little migration equipment For those who have used this method))

The addition has followed another recent update for the blusky application, which Roll out a few days agoProviding a button that is now both photo and video upload, the custom feed manufacturers’ feedbacks and a way to add people to a starter park (a pack to follow the proposed people, which anyone can create).
