How do you know if your moderation settings work as expected?
Do your muted words block any posts?
Have your label settings hidden posts unknowingly?
You only know if there was an option to check what posts are hidden from your feeds.

Skywalker now sends feed interactions, so the For You feed should even get better for you.
And as with any feed you can hide people you follow from the feed if you want.

Hurra, mit der #BlueSky -App @skywalker.thereforeiam.eu lassen sich jetzt endlich auch Skeets editieren. Und man bekommt bei der Eingabe von # Hashtags vorgeschlagen - ein Feature, das ich gleichfalls sehr vermisst habe.

Adult labels can be quite conservative. Almost all art showing a naked body is labeled as adult content.
Therefore you may just allow all adult content labels to show. That works fine depending on who you follow.
However, when you search posts you may find unpleasant surprises. To avoid

For the last release I change so many things internally, like pulling out the wires and rewiring it again.
This is one of the things I broke. Let me know if I broke more.

Comparing the user search between Skywalker and the official Bluesky app shows interesting differences.
Skywalker does a local (on device) search in your follows first. Search results from the network are added to that.

Skywalker shows a green dot at the lower right of an ava when a user is online (posted in the last 1 mins). This indication can be disabled (default on).
I'm adding a blue dot to indicate you follow a user. Should I make that default on (most will like it) or off (most won't like it)?
Tell me.

Interesting to see how bigger the app gets, how easier it gets to implement some new features.
Loading and editing a draft post is not so much different from loading and editing a posted post.
For thread unrolling I wrote code to find and remove post numbering. I need that too for editing a thread.

What makes the composer such a complex beast:
* It must detect hashtags, mention and hyper links in what you type as plain text. The links change position when you edit text.
* Embedded links
* Highlighting links and text exceeding maximum length
* Link cards

The beast called "post composer" keeps growing. I am adding a (poor man's) edit button. It will let you edit a post, but you will lose any existing replies, reposts and likes, i.e. it will delete your old post and post your edited post.

Skywalker does not give these feedback signals to feeds. I can see how it can be very useful for making better feeds. At the same time it may be privacy sensitive, especially the "seen post".
What do you think?

Also new in v1.109: custom feed operators now receive more interaction events.
If you run a custom feed, now you'll know when people like, quote, repost, reply, and see posts in your feed. All valuable signals that can help you drive higher-quality recommendations in your feeds.
