Top o' the list in this week’s release is publish your Surf feeds to Bluesky and a new feature: the ability to pin posts.
Pinned posts are great for setting tone and context for people new to your feed. Use them to suggest hashtags and other ways for followers to participate, and add a link to the full feed (if your feed is also published to Bluesky — more on that here https://bsky.app/profile/surf.social/post/3lnnpyqge5c2p).
As always, please let us know what you think by sending notes to [email protected]. And thank you for testing with us!

Thanks for your comment.
Our goal is to broaden the discussion around the fediverse to include all of decentralized social media and expand the conversation with publishers, creators and community builders to get them excited about investing in the social web.
We've also got @npub13za…8j89 coming and we're still filling in a few holes in the lineup.
It's possible we used the term "fediverse" too liberally in the name of the house, but we thought it was the best at succinctly summing up a scene we're all very passionate about and want to evangelize.
