Bluesky Opens App, Bringing Open Social Media to Everyone

New users are welcomed with a "plug-and-play" experience that is as customizable as they want it to be, with no technical knowledge required. As an open-source platform, Bluesky allows anyone to contribute features they want; current highlights include video and music embeds for YouTube and Spotify and more than 40,000 custom feeds that users can choose from to see the content they want - from fan art to recipes the list has no end. If someone can imagine it and wants to build a community, they can build the feed on Bluesky.

"We made Bluesky so users can easily discover interesting content from a vibrant network of communities," said Jay Graber, CEO of Bluesky. "During our beta period, we used an invite system to manage growth while building out our infrastructure and were happy to see people start creating their own community on Bluesky. Now, we're welcoming everyone in."

Creating a New Social Media Experience
The Bluesky App works atop the AT Protocol, an open-source foundation for building a network of interconnected social apps that the Bluesky team develops. What makes this special for users is a whole new ability to freely move their personal accounts between the apps that are built on the federated, open network. People can now keep their friends, relationships, feeds, and content when changing from app to app – no need to start a new account from scratch whenever they want to join a new AT Protocol-based social network.
