We just enabled account sign-ups again, so any outstanding invite codes can now be used to create an account.

Thanks for your patience!
We will temporarily be pausing Bluesky sign-ups while our team continues to resolve the existing performance issues. We’ll keep you updated when invite codes will resume functionality.

We’re excited to welcome more users to our beta soon!

New feature just dropped: custom feeds!

Now you can choose what algorithm powers your social media experience. We’ll feature some in this thread, but you can easily discover more in the feeds tab.
