Bluesky Version 1.98 Rolls Out with Key Improvements
Bluesky has announced the release of version 1.98 of its application, bringing a suite of enhancements designed to improve user experience and content discoverability. This update focuses on providing users with greater control over their interactions and making it easier to find specific content within the platform.
Control Your Conversations: “Followers Only” Reply Restriction
Version 1.98 introduces a significant update to conversation control: the ability to restrict post replies to “Followers only.” This new feature empowers users to curate their comment sections, limiting engagement to their established community. By selecting “your followers” in the reply settings, users can foster more intimate and focused discussions, reducing unwanted interactions and enhancing the quality of engagement on their posts. This builds upon existing moderation tools, offering a more nuanced approach to managing post interactions.
Introducing “Post Interaction Settings” for Granular Control
To centralize these enhanced moderation options, Bluesky has launched a dedicated “Post Interaction Settings” page. Located under Settings > Moderation > Interaction Settings, this new page serves as a hub for users to manage default reply settings for all future posts. This streamlined approach allows for consistent application of preferred interaction levels, saving users time and effort in customizing each post individually. The introduction of this settings page reflects Bluesky’s commitment to providing users with comprehensive and accessible moderation tools.

Find Content Faster: User Profile Post Search Added
Navigating user profiles and finding specific posts has become more efficient with the addition of the “Search posts” feature. Directly accessible from a user’s profile via the “…” three-dot menu, this function allows users to quickly search for specific content within an individual’s posting history. This feature streamlines content discovery, enabling users to easily revisit past discussions, locate specific information, or explore a user’s perspective on particular topics without extensive scrolling.
Search Functionality Enhanced Across the Platform
Beyond user-specific searches, Bluesky 1.98 also includes general “Improvements to the search page.” While specific details of these improvements are not outlined, this addition suggests a broader effort to refine the platform’s search capabilities. Users can anticipate a more intuitive and effective search experience when exploring content across Bluesky, enhancing overall platform navigability.
Global Reach Expanded: Interlingua Translation Support
In a move towards greater inclusivity, Bluesky 1.98 incorporates a new translation: Interlingua. The addition of Interlingua, an international auxiliary language, reflects Bluesky’s ongoing efforts to broaden its accessibility to a global user base. By supporting a more diverse linguistic landscape, Bluesky aims to foster a more inclusive and interconnected community.
Gratitude to the Bluesky Community Contributors
Bluesky 1.98 release notes highlight the crucial role of community contributions, specifically acknowledging first-time translators andrefernandes-95 and Armster15. This public acknowledgment underscores the collaborative nature of Bluesky’s development and its reliance on community support to enhance and expand the platform’s features and reach.
