Talking of replies, replace 1.96 helps you to simply entry settings that allow you to management how replies on posts seem to you. Replies might be linear, which means they present up one submit after one other, or threaded, which implies they are going to seem in indented threads (sort of like how they seem on Reddit). You may also type replies by latest, oldest, most-liked, “sizzling,” and “random” (which Bluesky additionally calls “Poster’s Roulette”).
If you happen to select to set a customized area as your username, with 1.96, Bluesky may even reserve your previous .bsky.social title in order that it could actually’t be picked up by another person. I want this characteristic had been obtainable after I set my customized area — after I did that, I made an alt account that’s parked on my previous .bsky.social title in order that it doesn’t get taken.
