"Bluesky says it's planning to make the app feel more "live" this year as part of ongoing efforts to build a competent rival to Elon Musk's X platform. Announcing Bluesky's 2026 development roadmap, product head Alex Benzer said the platform is working to make feeds more interactive and timely during live events, alongside teasing improvements to posting and follow suggestions."
""We're exploring new features and interactions within feeds that make them feel less like just scrolling through posts and more like hanging out," said Benzer. "We're also working on making the app feel more 'live' in general. We're taking an experimental approach, so I don't want to over-promise on specifics, but expect to see us continue exploring real-time and event-focused features this year.""
Bluesky plans to make feeds more interactive and timely during live events and to explore real-time and event-focused features while taking an experimental approach without overpromising specifics. The platform intends improvements to posting and follow suggestions and is considering support for drafts, longer videos, faster video uploads, and topic tags to improve discovery. A dedicated team will manage the Discover feed. Bluesky has about 1.5 million daily active users compared with much larger competitors. The roadmap emphasizes solidifying basic features to retain users and positioning the network as a refuge for users seeking a more playful, sense-making public social space.
