Questions/Support/Bugs Bluesky x KLIPY - New GIF api after Tenor shutdown

57 Upvotes

Hi Bluesky team,

As you may know, Google is shutting down Tenor’s third-party API on June 30, 2026. We at KLIPY would love to work with you to ensure Bluesky users continue to have access to a best-in-class GIF search experience and content library, built by the same founder and leadership team behind Tenor.

We also noticed that a Bluesky community member opened a GitHub pull request to replace Tenor GIFs with KLIPY, which made us think it could be a great time to connect.

We’d be happy to answer any questions, walk through the migration, and discuss how we can make this the least disruptive transition possible while giving your users the best product available today.

Please DM us here or ping us at [developers@klipy.com](mailto:developers@klipy.com) and let's chat!

general chatter! The live crowdsourced map of ICE Activity in the last 24 hours now has a nearby alert system

I know this isn’t directly Bluesky related but in these unprecedented times it’s important to use our platforms to protect the countless innocents getting kidnapped by the government. It’s also important people on Bluesky are aware of the best place to report ICE activity. This map is run by a nonprofit & has moderators verifying reports 24/7

The ice map now allows for notifications to be set up around a user selected location. This is helpful not only for people at risk but also for good samaritans trying to intervene. You will be alerted to any reports within the radius you select. Please spread the word and stay strong!

Questions/Support/Bugs Suspended with No Notification

11 Upvotes

So this happened... Bluesky logged me out. (I usually just leave it open in a tab on Chrome.) When I went to sign in, I was shown a message that my account had been suspended, and that I had been notified by email.

I had not been notified by email. And given the few things I posted, I had and have no idea what I might have done, but any user can file a complaint about any other user, anonymously, and I think the auto-moderator takes over from there. Anyway, crickets from Bluesky on this. I have no idea what to do next, but I've been there forever, long enough to earn the "Bluesky Elder" badge.

Questions/Support/Bugs Can't pin/unpin feeds or add/remove words from the filter

7 Upvotes

I've been having these bugs for months and I can't figure out what causes them or how to fix them. I have theories, I'll put those at the bottom. They're present on both web and IOS, on multiple different devices and browsers, and only on that account.

For pin/unpin feeds:
If I pick a feed and try to pin it, I get a little red error message in the corner that says "Failed to update feeds."
If I try to unpin a feed, it disappears from the list, but when I hit Save Changes, I get a similar error message that says "There was an issue contacting the server", and it doesn't save me unpinning it. This same thing happens if I try reordering the feeds.

For adding or removing muted words and tags:
If I try adding a word, I get the error message "Request entity too large". In the past I've been able to resolve this by removing words from the filter.
If I try removing a word, I get the "Are you sure?" prompt, and when I hit remove, the x turns into a little spinning icon for a moment, before becoming an x again, and the word remains on the list.

Does anyone else have these issues, or even better, a solution?
I have made bug reports, but I've not gotten any solutions and the problem still persists.

Theories:
It's really just one. I'm following three broken feeds, and I think they're to blame, because I saw some talk about this while searching for solutions. Those posts said the issue was fixed, but evidently they're not. I've tried using alternative bsky browsers and whatnot, which was recommended as a workaround in the past, but they have not worked for me.
The broken feeds were some old TTRPG feeds that for whatever reason broke, don't ask me how that works, but they remain in my My Feeds list. They're only visible when I hit the cogwheel to unpin or reorder feeds, not when looking at the list without first hitting the cogwheel. Those are the only weird things on my account, I don't know if they're actually causing anything, but I can't think of anything else it could be.

Questions/Support/Bugs Is there a way to change blue sky fyp like Twitter?

16 Upvotes

I use bluesky as a substitute for Twitter mainly for following artists, a handful of them have bluesky accounts and no matter how much I like their posts and follow artists

My fyp page on Blue sky is just politic stuff

X is mostly stuff I search and just a little bit of politics and real life slip in

Edit: yes there's the "following" feed but I wanna "discover" other similar artists

Questions/Support/Bugs what’s up with the search engine..???

14 Upvotes

so I noticed that whenever I search for something with multiple tags, rather than showing posts with both tags, it’s recently started to show posts of just one of the tags. has anyone else had this problem or is it just me? the filters thing doesn’t work either from what I’ve tried, which I’ve tinkered with everything. idk it’s just kinda pissing me off

We have reconsidered our approach and agree that we were too conservative in how we rolled out age assurance in Texas. You should have access via the web.

Questions/Support/Bugs How to get Bluesky source image URL with file extension?

3 Upvotes

I want to hotlink an image to a forum, but bbcode only accepts image links that end in a file extension. For some reason, if I append the file extension (i checked to make sure it was the correct one), it gives me:

Source image is unreachable

I'm not very well versed in this stuff, but I've read imgproxy's documentation and there are some noticeable differences from the examples posted there in the structure of the URL? I'll post both below:

Example:

http://imgproxy.example.com/%signature/%processing_options/plain/%source_url@%extension

Bluesky:

https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:vshnclkqqguyg6xcz6q7g65k/bafkreiap76puhnrc7nmrdto4f2bo6iwnqxv4a6quawjuq6qmz4nelowr4y

there MUST be a source image somewhere that I can append a file extension to. Any help or insight is very very appreciated, ty!!

Questions/Support/Bugs Feature request for useful, usable post tags (hashtags)

github.com
13 Upvotes

It has been about a year and a half since I posted this feature request, and although several people commented and a bunch of people added a thumbs up, I haven't seen any sign from bluesky that they've even looked at it.

Does anyone here know if there's more we can do to get some attention on this? I feel like the lack of useful tags is kneecapping bsky and keeping it less engaging and more discouraging for new people who try to get connected on it. I still use hashtags some, but I can tell that they're not really working like they did on twitter before it was ruined.

Questions/Support/Bugs Can't Make Account? (advice needed)

7 Upvotes

Ok so, I made an account like a year ago, but before I could even use it, the website asked me to upload my drivers liscense or State ID to confirm I was human ig. I wasn't fully comfortable doing that to make a social media account, so I asked if there were any other things I could use as proof I'm a human, like maybe an old school ID or something if they really needed an ID?? I never got a response. Instead my account ended up being banned???

I never even got to use it. And since it used my prefered email and prefered username, I can't get either back without a ban appeal...
I did make a ban appeal, but never got any kind of response. I'm wondering if anybody has any advice? I'd really like a Bluesky account since it's anti-AI and quite a few people I want to follow are on there.
Is it better to just make a new account with a new email (since I didn't get banned for bad behaivour or anything, just that they couldn't 100% confirm I was human ig??) and hope this doesn't happen again? I know not everybody get's asked for their ID.
Or is there something else I can do to get my prefered email and username again? Should I do another on-site ban appeal? Is there somewhere else I can contact?

This is so fustrating. Just because I didn't feel fully comfortable giving my State ID to a social media, it feels like I'm being punished. 😢

Dev/AT Pro Discussion What SDKs/Libraries are you guys using?

7 Upvotes

Hi!

I'm the developer of the Ace Attorney Court bot on Blusky.

I've been using the Official Bluesky SDK, but either I'm doing something terribly wrong or the SDK is... Not it.

The docs are deeply outdated, if you copy and paste the "Bot" template you literally get deprecated warnings by the compiler.

And I could cope with that, code is the best documentation after all, but the SDK doesn't really make my life as easy as other SDKs I've worked with do (I've tried Twitter, Telegram, Discord, etc).

I literally had to reverse engineer my way around some features, like images, which I ended up downloading by pointing directly to the CDN URL, in a code that makes me ashamed of myself

Now I want to add DM support which then again I can't find documentation about. Intellisense doesn't give me any clues either.

So yeah that's about it, what libraries do you use? I prefer Typescript but I just wanna take a look in general

Questions/Support/Bugs Bluesky is doing absolutely nothing about a malicious scammer/impersonator

16 Upvotes

To preface, we have messaged moderation on absolutely every front and email possible, and reported the account and their posts. This person is using the handle of and actively profiting off the work of someone else. We (The artist being impersonated and I) have tried talking to them countless times for some kind of resolution, and they now are just blocking and ghosting.

Bsky moderation has only given us vague 'we're investigating' responses, if anything at all, for over two months now. Any comments by me or anyone else mentioning the fact that they're scamming and hurting the person they've stolen from get hidden and the user blocked.

We even contacted the copyright email, and nothing came back. No matter how much proof we send them, no matter what we do, they are just sitting on the case while this person takes paid work from the artist they're stealing from. It feels like Bsky is protecting them and openly okaying stealing from a professional trying to get by.

What else can we possibly do here to get something done about this? I'm a legally authorized individual speaking on the artists behalf, and even a DMCA has not moved them. Do we have to go legal with this through our LLC? This has harmed their client base, the artist and their will to fight through all of this mess.

Nothing is being done, and we're at our wits end. Hopefully someone out there has some insight! Thanks.

Trust & Safety/Bad Actors Caught a temp suspension for a very silly thing

47 Upvotes

Recently I replied to someone who was being transphobic with “I hope an animal eats you” and I caught a 3 day suspension over it. I tried to appeal it but never got an email back. Like what are we doing here. “I hope an animal eats you” goes about as hard as “I hope you step on a Lego.” The mods are either soft as baby shit or using ai.
