Bluesky pitches new features at disgruntled Threads users

Version 1.92 of the Bluesky app is rolling out now. The update adds a new option that allows users to pin posts to the top of their profiles, similar to how they’re displayed on X. The ability to switch between two different fonts and adjust text sizing has also been added to the Appearance settings, though Bluesky says the “Theme” font provides a better user experience than the “System” option.

The new font options are pretty limited, but they allow you to shrink or enlarge text at least.

The update includes some quality-of-life improvements like the ability to delete a DM conversation by swiping on it, share camera roll videos directly to the platform, and apply muted words to notifications and search results. There’s also a new filtering tool that controls what languages appear in search results. More generally, Bluesky says it’s made “multiple look & feel improvements” to the app like adding new animations.

From the example Bluesky provided, it seems users can only filter by one language at a time.
