Threadsky.app - Reddit-like client built on Bluesky (github.com)

I’ve been messing around with Bluesky for a while, and one thing I really missed was a proper way to browse discussions in a structured, Reddit-like way specially myself being daily reddit user. So, I ended up building a Reddit-like client for Bluesky that scratches that itch: Threadsky.app

It pulls in trending topics, lets you explore conversations with a threaded view (so no more getting lost in replies), and even allows users to create channels with customizations, basically, like subreddits but on Bluesky.

That said, this is still pretty barebones, and there’s a lot to improve. I really need feedback from actual users to shape where this goes next. Some planned features include markdown support, longer posts, and better mod tools for communities.

For privacy-conscious folks: Only details about channel customizations are stored on our servers. Everything else remains securely stored on your own PDS (Personal Data Server), just like the rest of Bluesky.

Also, I’m planning to open-source the project once I’ve polished things up a bit more.

It's my understanding that people are working on Instagram, TikTok and Reddit equivalents using the AT protocol but I suppose these apps (which filter Bluesky content) are helpful if they get someone off the Big Web although they seem far less functional than dedicated services - Pixelfed and Lemmy are far superior to all of this but if that is what it takes then it is a good first step.

Yes, and after that we'll only need 300 millions to open a second Bluesky instance 🥲
