Cats of Yore: I love it when there's clearly some kind of bluesky drama going on and I have no idea what it is. I just sit here happily going through my discover feed clicking "show more like this" on every cat photo.

This is the handsome kitty in the background of that screenshot, by the way. bsky.app/profile/auld...

Some kids dropped a load of eggs on the ground across the road and the birds are hoovering them up. AKA Clarence TV

Majestic.

I took portraits of Juanita.

YES show more like this

Here, have another one!

😍

Speaking of discovery, Snowball's ready for his close-up, Mr. DeMille

I didn't realize that was a feature. Thanks

I love how niche it tends to be. Bluesky's main character (if you ever find out about them) tends to be some guy called Greg who was mean to someone's girlfriend or didn't do the dishes when it was his turn.

@azfang.bsky.social and @jgriffee.bsky.social yes indeed, Greg sounds like he sucks - just like, flat noticeboard passive aggressive note sucks.

*grumbles* Freakin’ Greg.

Ugh, GREG.

I didn’t know that feed or feature existed, and now I just spend five minutes looking at pictures of squirrels and cats. ❤️

👍🐿️

Yeah, I usually miss the drama because I just follow the people I follow and leave everything else alone. Sometimes some of the people I follow will mention some drama, and if I get really curious I'll go check it out, but I no longer have the drive to participate.

how about a tasty doughnut hole

I'm sure you've already been introduced to this feed but just in case you haven't already, I've been running a Cat pics only feed for about a year now - bsky.app/profile/did:...

Cat Pics

Feed by @jaz.bsky.social

I guess I missed the discourse too. Oh well. Squirrel!

I'm revisiting some of my favorite Hyperbole and a Half posts and eating some toast and jam, so my evening is also going pretty well.

why don't I have this option? :( I need bsky to serve me even more cat photos

Bella and Michael, in a fairly rare snuggly moment. They love their window perch.

!! when did "show more like this" show up? New feature?

It’s over in the Discover feed. (Make sure you’ve updated the app)

Oh, there it is! haha i never look at the Discover feed, that's why i've never seen it. I'm almost always in browser because the iOS app is a disaster on a big iPad in landscape mode 😹

I did not know this was a feature, but I’m going to make some use of it now!

i'll do popular with friends occasionally and it will usually be things you've shown interest in so I guess that's you doing that lol

Pff, I don't have this feature. ☹️ (writing on PC)

Me either - Mac laptop in browser. Seems handy

I'm on a Mac laptop using Safari. I just click on the three little dots on the right under any post in the discover tab and the menu pops up.

Unfortunately in Firefox at least no love. I hunted through the settings just now to see if there is somewhere to turn it on, but I couldn't find it. This is what I have:

are you in the Discover feed? I can get it in the Discover feed but not in the Following feed (or whatever it's called)

Oh, I'm also in a "wrong" feed.🥴 Thank you, Matt!

OH! That's the ticket - thanks!

Ah! That the same as I see. So maybe it's firefox fault.

I was on the following tab then - when I switched to Discover tab at the top the three dot menu now shows me the "more like this" and "less like this" options too. Woot

It isn't there in "my" menu.🤷‍♀️ Maybe it hasn't reached Germany. 😉

i... didn't know this was a thing. i just starting blocking people i otherwise wouldn't, except my Discover tab seemed to show me their posts every 3rd post. i wanted a little more variety

apparently i don’t know how to bluesky because i’ve just learned you can do that!!

I think I know of which you mean, and yes the 'mute words' was a feature I discovered out of saving my sanity.

wait you can do that??

I had no idea you could do that!

Had no clue it was a thing. Thanks!

I'm obviously doing something right, because all I see are cats and food, no dramas 🐱

free one

Thanks for the helpful hint. My first night here and I’m kind of lost. I follow you on IG & 🧵and Musky’s Hellscape.

As one does

Honestly cat photos and @roadside.xor.blue is all I need. ☺️

Here instead of doing Main Character we do Main Cat.

Every time I read an uncapitalised Bluesky I always pronounce it "blue-ski" in my mind. As if it were Russian or something.
