Yesterday at #FediverseHouse we announced
Bluesky integration, but that's not the only update Surf users will see in the latest beta.

You can now create unified home timelines incorporating Bluesky and Mastodon following feeds, Starter Packs, lists and custom feeds. And you can also use filters to exclude issues or topics you don’t want to see in your feed. Sign up for the waitlist here — and if you're currently beta testing Surf, please send your suggestions for improvements to feedback@surf.social, and bigs and issues to support@surf.social.

"A lot of people I’ve personally spoken with are like…I use Bluesky to get away from the news. And I don’t want to read about Elon,” @mike explains to @TechCrunch 's @Sarahp, discussing our Bluesky integration and new features.

Were you at Fediverse House today? Tell us in the comments about the most interesting conversations you heard or participated in!

OK #SurfSocial users.....
What's the difference between the tiles at the top and the "My Custom Feeds" below?
Also what are the most common reasons why I can't get Bluesky to link?
Also where can i find this info online so I don't have to pester y'all?

Man, yesterday was a doozy. We can’t agree with every platform’s decisions, but we can vote with our feet.

Surf wants to free our social connections from being locked up in separate self-serving networks. It’s a no-nonsense browser for the open social web that lets you easily create and surf custom feeds that organize people, videos, articles and podcasts around the things you care about.

New here? Don't forget to sign up for the Surf waitlist . Surf is a new way to browse the social web and create feeds that serve you, not some monopolistic platform.

Here’s a tip for our Dawn Patrol #surfers: Add an interesting title and description. Not only does it help people understand what’s in your feed and why they should care, but also we’re looking for rad feeds to feature and this is a prerequisite. Thanks!

Happy New Year, everyone! Just for fun — and to inject a bit of sunshine in your day — here’s a peek at the aesthetic that inspired the Surf brand. We’re going for retro-modern vibes, featuring 70s surf nostalgia and a dose of @Flipboard's Bauhaus DNA.

I have been testing out this app for a while and could not be more excited for its beta launch! You can sign up for it at the link in the post here... Anyone who cares about the open social web should immediately sign up.

In the comments I'll post some of the Feeds I have been curating from Mastodon, BlueSky, RSS, YouTube, Flipboard, and Threads content. cc: @fediversenews
