BSFC How Tos

Thank you so much for the kind words — we really appreciate you using our service! 🙌 Just a heads-up: we’ve actually added exact capitalization detection already through Auto Moderator. Here’s an example of how to set it up. Hope that helps streamline your feed!

When you make a new feed on Bluesky Feed Creator, you'll find things looking a bit different - we've put together some templates to help get your feed set up quick. Great if it's your first time making a feed because they're really easy to use! We'll add new templates every so often.

Yes you can do this by syncing a list of your follows and blocking them from your feed. Can't do this (yet) with posts though.

Ok now it's broken for me as well! Will add some additional logging, so if you could please leave as it is. I think unpublishing and publishing would fix it (maybe even just 'save' would fix it) but I want to investigate the cause 😁.

Someone else on the team made a tutorial, hopefully this helps :) - Josh bsky.app/profile/blue...

Fair enough! When you do, this tutorial is just about a match except your starter pack is the synced list, so all the relevant screenshots for you. This - and then * to grab all of their posts.

Hi! Just jumping in to say, if I'm understanding your issue correctly, it can generally be solved using search operators e.g. + (this term + this term must be present) or - (collect posts with this term except when they also have this term). Or for topics with frequent crossover, you could exclude..

The feed's settings have explicitly excluded the post based on a word in the text, so everything is working correctly from our perspective 😁.

In order to use *, you have to also specify a list of users. Otherwise you could search for some common Spanish words instead, or locations if it's area specific for example. We'll look at adding a workaround for this by language though.

Our service doesn't collect posts retrospectively, only from the point the feed is made. So once a user posts a video matching your feed terms, it'll appear in your feed. However, you can also query a user in the tools area and the service will grab the 50 most recent posts of theirs which match.

Yes, you can do this on our service but it does rely on user reported language being correct. Check out our help, specifically our video feed based tutorials. Language is just one of our many filtering options.

10) Filter tabs These let you filter the posts in your feed to match a particular criterion e.g. Auto moderated means acted on by Auto Mod. These tabs work with the bulk actions too so e.g. in the For manual approval tab, you can approve or deny all. #bsfchowto

9) Listen for new posts toggle. If you switch this off it pauses the feed, so no new posts will be collected until you turn it back on. Posts that were posted while you had the feed paused won't be recovered. This is great if you're amending terms and settings and want to avoid mishaps. #bsfchowto

8) Search posts. Type anything into the search box and we'll show you the posts that match it. This searches post text, alt text, name/handle, languages, labels. 8*) Once you've searched for something, if you use a bulk action it will apply to those visible searched posts only. #bsfchowto

6) Pin a post! Pinning a post to the top of your feed means that until you unpin it, it will show up there first for everyone who opens the feed. You can pin multiple posts. 7) Block user - remember this blocks a user from posting in the feed, not seeing posts from your Bluesky account. #bsfchowto

4) Insert post manually - grab a link to any post and insert it into your feed. It does not need to match your rules. 5) Test a post - put the link in to any post and click Test post, to find out why it was not included. This is great for making sure you're getting the content you want. #bsfchowto

2) Toggle media to show all when you're moderating manual approval posts. This expands all the images so you don't have to keep clicking to open them. 3) Bulk actions. These apply to all posts in view. The irretrievable ones (delete, deny) have an "are you sure you're sure" function. #bsfchowto

#bsfchowto Secrets of the Recent Posts moderation area! Well, they're not secret. But some of you might not have used them. So here goes: 1) Hide any post! This happens straight away, so that the next time a person loads your feed or refreshes it, the post is ✨✨gone✨✨

#bsfchowto Tomorrow I'll talk about some of the handy things you can do in the Recent Posts area, and I've got lots of other tips after that too. All of these posts will go into the BSFC How Tos feed below, so they're easy to keep track of if you ever need to come back to something.

#bsfchowto Once in a feed, the interface looks like this. Click on alt text for descriptions of each area. We've made these sections collapsible - just click the arrow in the top right hand corner. We've set our service up to be almost entirely workable with just plain text. No code! NO CODE!

I'm also going to start some tutorial content from the beginning and working up to our more advanced features. First off, the feeds list. You're probably familiar with this landing page. If you've got posts to approve in any feeds, you'll get a little red icon here too - like this. #bsfchowto

These are, of course, super useful for recreating your following feed, if that's something you want to do. You could also split your following up into different groups using private lists, and then adjust the terms to only hear about certain things from certain people, for example.

Hi there, what specifically are you struggling with? Happy to help. Our service definitely works fine for general use in most cases, for instance, check out the Birds feed! We also have a very detailed help, including video tutorials if needed. blueskyfeedcreator.com/help

Hi Lana, don't forget to check on the help! It's here: blueskyfeedcreator.com/help There's also a video tutorial for that tool: youtu.be/9kOEZgn2NEs?...

Yes! You could use this Auto Moderator rule to do that:
