@MonaApp Nah not on Twitter. Keeping an eye out for some bluesky related news though 👀

@Josh @MonaApp Upvote on that. I’ve been using Sora on Bluesky and Mastodon, and it’s a fun but VERY different experience from Mona, and the BlueSky integration is wonky (real issue with replying)

I’d love to see a version of Mona that supported Bluesky. I mean you’re not BUSY or anything right? 😂
Anyways glad to have a non-Twitter way to keep my account active enough to not delete and download good articles to post elsewhere.

@Wraithe @Josh @MonaApp Sora? Is that a new testflight project?

If so I'd greatly appreciate a link, the stock bluesky app is quite literally horrible... 🙌

@zav_ @Josh @MonaApp Nope it’s live.
However, I will again say it has glitches as a blue sky client.
If you’re using blue sky, I would recommend you use Graysky

Graysky isn’t as good as any of the Mastodon apps that are out there, but it’s better than the stock BS app, which I agree is terrible.

@zav_ @Josh @MonaApp Graysky has some nice features like supporting hashtags, and animated GIFs on Bluesky - I’ve been informed there’s a beta, which is even better, but I’m not on that so lol.😂

@Wraithe @Josh Yhea but if only something like @IceCubesApp existed for bluesky
Show threadWraithe @ PAX EASTNov 15, 2023
@zav_ @Josh @IceCubesApp Absolutely. I say it over and over again, but I think one of the big “edges” that Mastodon has is the rich third-party app environment.
Show threadJosh HolmeNov 16, 2023
@Wraithe @zav_ @IceCubesApp I think that will definitely come to Bluesky as well. Just kind of a chicken and egg situation. Once the network opens up and is no longer invite only I think there will be bigger developer interest

@zav_ @Josh @MonaApp Also, it’s worth repeating that Sora’s interface is a little…different. it actually has algorithmic discovery and a bunch of other “non-Mastodon features“ and it looks a lot more “Pop” if that makes sense? It’s very colorful.
Show threadWraithe @ PAX EASTNov 15, 2023
@Josh @MonaApp Also, I just heard back from the developer for Sora and they say the posting issue on BlueSky will be fixed next update. So yay!

@Josh @MonaApp Same!! I would pay quite a lot for Mona for bluesky...
