Rudy you're doing the lords work here and you have made such a significant difference for Black users. You deserve so much credit and admiration.

Thanks Miriam 🫶🏾🖤

black folk: maaaan, we wish this place was a bit more dynamic for us... rudy:

Seconded! All the admiration and so much more credit! is due to Rudy! Thank you Rudy 🥰👍✌️

thank you for helping me find my tribe on this app. i can't explain in words how nice it is opening this app and feeling like a part of the collective again. its been awhile since ive had this.

Annoying that these starter pack links kick you out to a browser window when invoked from the mobile app.

@emilyliu.me fyi

just rolled out an update that fixes this, so should start landing on devices soon!

Awesome. And tremendous turnaround time!

It already works on Android version 1.87.0.255 (or maybe it always worked there--I only tested on iOS before).

commit hash should be f6b138f70. links you post now should get resolved before they get posted so you can click through to the actual pack in the app.

fyi for anyone else if you navigate to profile you can tap and easy follow all from the starter pack tab

I didn't even know there was a Blackademics feed.

For those (like me) who were trying to add the feed, here’s direct link: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Blacksky

Feed by @rudyfraser.com

Is there a way to subscribe to this with an existing account?

there is a "follow all" button up top when i click it /in the browser version

(for both the feeds and the accounts)

Oh nice thanks.

Man, I really wished it worked in mobile browser because my 15-year-old laptop can’t run anything

They rolled out an update so now if you tap a newly-posted starter pack link it should open in the app rather than browser, like in Hailey's post here:

I think my phone’s too old or something, but I’m glad this starter pack exists, regardless. Thank you for trying to help me!

Just to check, have you updated your Bluesky app? You need to be on version 1.87 for the starter packs to work :)

Excellent

Page not found?

If you're on mobile, you may need to update to the latest version of the app

update resolved it not opening for me on android !! thanks a bunch 🙏

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽This is such a needed contribution to boost the conversation. But how does it work? It goes opens a browser page and then what?

If you're in the app, they pushed a bug fix so hopefully if you tap the link in this post from Hailey it should open in the app rather than a browser:

Exactly — also if you share the link with someone who doesn’t have a Bluesky account, it allows them to signup and instantly follow these feeds + the users in the starter pack.

Awesome, thank you Rudy!! I was part of the feeds and was following several of the accounts you recommended, now I’m following all!!! 💜🖤

This is great man, once again 👍🏾

Fantastic! Thank you!

Good stuff right here!

Oh wow. Thank you so much, Rudy!

Thank you!
