Post Notifications from @posts.listifications.app

From the same creator (Dominik Picheta) as the popular Listifications utility!

This is an early beta, in testing phase at the moment!

It is easy to setup by doing the following:-

  • Create a list of accounts you want to be notified about on your profile called “Post Notifications”! Not mod list!
  • Follow posts.listifications.app
  • Enable ongoing conversations from the account by sending a DM/Chat to it. No need to have chats open to everyone!
  • On the list detail the reason for it in the description, so accounts don't block to get of the list. Ask them to tag you for removal!
  • Having the list feed is a handy way to see the posts notified to your account.
  • See below for details on the limitations of the notification system at present!

Limitations of above!

  • You at present get notifications from accounts with a large following only
    • "set up so that only accounts with 10k+ followers are eligible"
    • "it's only top-level posts. You won't be notified when people repost or reply to others."
  • You don't need to have a large following yourself to use it.
  • Bluesky Thread discussing it.

How to find accounts that meet the criteria?

Use an analytics tool of your choice to find the followers of yours that have a large following!

Recently came across Blueview.app by Simon Holmes which gives that information.

Note:- Above is an extract from a new github page I created which also mentions bluenotify! Linked above.

You can select accounts to be trusted verifiers instead of relying on accounts selected by bsky, NYT or wired!

Outside of the top three accounts announced to be verifiers (bsky,NYT,wired), I have come across two high profile accounts with it!

I don't get what an accounts real world reality has got to do with their online presence? It is of no concern to me what gender, race or how you identify yourself. I judge characters that I not likely to meet in real life based on the content they share and interact with it online.

Thankfully Bluesky has started to react to Bad Faith lists creators.

Moving forward, lists and starter packs with insulting profanity, slurs, abusive terms, or unproven allegations will be hidden from other users in the Bluesky app (but still visible to the creator).

Using skyfeed.app and the below list as input. https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:e4elbtctnfqocyfcml6h2lf7/lists/3l53cjwlt4o2s

I turned MAGA Moderation list by ‪@skywatch.blue‬ into a feed. So you can see the content you will be blocking or muting! Maybe choose to block or add individual accounts to your own list! Using the above as an example only and just a test! It is easy to create these feed for any list/s you want.

Here is the example feed: - https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:lgjvdkqeeutvf7zj6wow3jro/feed/aaacmyy2orsms Probably will delete the above feed in a week, just using it as a test example!

Control your own moderation!

Pretty new to Lemmy, so don't know if people look for Bluesky support on this? The content which I have posted a few times on Bluesky got re posted today. So I thought I would try post here as well.

One of my favourite methods is kyst.app has a DM method and webpage to see the bookmarks so cross device support. For private DM's to an alt, and I still use the 📌/ 🔖 method.
