There shouldn't be any missing posts! DM me any posts that you should have received but didn't and I can take a look.
Unfortunately the bluesky app itself is responsible for deciding what to do when it opens a link to a post, so that definitely could have been something they changed recently

I'm a bit busy with another project right now, but this is a good idea and in a few weeks I'll try to take a look at doing it!

Uninstalling should take care of it!

I've seen one of the bluesky developers post about #2, they're aware and looking into it
I bet #1 will happen eventually, but for me at least it was trickier than expected. I wouldn't be surprised if it takes them a few months to get that working.

I'm just a guy! @austinwitherspoon.com
I'm working on a bunch of silly little video games, but nothing available publicly yet.

you might not need it anymore!
but the app will continue running and does have a few extra features that bluesky didn't add, so you're more than welcome to keep using it

BlueNotify will keep running for the foreseeable future!
But yeah, I'm assuming there will be MANY uninstalls coming soon. I can probably downsize to a cheaper server!

Depending on what kind of phone you have, in your settings app if you find Bluesky you can check if there's an option to open links with it.
On my android it's Settings -> Apps -> Bluesky -> Open By default and I can choose whether the app opens bluesky links or if they should open in a web browser

Have you tried pressing the "Force Resync" button (or editing any of your notification settings) since moving to the new phone? That should be enough to cause the phone to re-register itself for notifications.

I worked really hard to make it really fast
(But also it's probably waaaayyy easier to do that with 8000 people than it is to do that with 30 million people)

I actually made an app to do this so I could see when my wife posts!

Not currently. I can think more about adding this, but some people find the app in its current state too complicated, and I think this may make it too hard for some people.
But I'll think about it and see if there's any nice way of adding this that won't confuse people!

Long story short, it'll be much harder for them to add this but we'll probably get it in the near future, and I probably can't help a ton myself.
But if they're ever looking to hire an additional programmer who is excited about bluesky... 👀

As far as I know, it's super easy for ME to do this app because I can do whatever I want. The official team has a much harder job because they have to figure out how to do it in a way that integrates into atproto (that bsky runs on), which is a huge system that everybody has to agree on.

I'd always be more than happy to chat with them!
But honestly they have a solid dev team and there's nothing technically tricky about this app, and I've heard they're working on it (eventually)!

It's available in the app store for iPhones and androids, as well as having a web version if you want it on your computer. Links in my bio
