Bluesky Social 17+

I like blue sky social. It has a ups and downs, but it is a lot better than Twitter etc. so I really like it in my opinion it has more good than bad points.
One thing that has to be fixed. On my computer screen, the blue sky page fill up screen like it supposed to
Same with my iPhone . it fills up full screen like it’s supposed to
I just got a new iPad and I download the app was going to be really happy with it, but the app only filled up about a third of the center of the screen the other to turn around it are black looks kind of funky
When they fix it appears on the screen that’s the step up for them that would be great. Otherwise I would give them five star but for this, I’ll give them a four star but they are doing a great job.

Downloaded the app a bit ago after the recent changes to twitter and honestly it’s safe to say bluesky is a lot better. No ragebait or drama and everyone’s friendly with eachother. You don’t get bullied for just existing and people actually interact with your posts. The feed is full of wonderful artists and talented people too instead of just being based off who’s the most popular on the app. However Im not a fan of how difficult it is to make your feed match your tastes, even just a little bit. I know you can pin separate feeds to scroll through to see medias you enjoy but they’re often stale, and only show posts that include certain words which causes a lot of posts to go unseen due to not having those keywords.

For example— I follow multiple jjba feeds and post almost exclusively about jjba, and most if not all of my mutuals post about it as well. yet in my time on the app ive only gotten two jjba related posts on my feed and neither of them involved any possible keywords. I understand the main feed is meant to be for discovering new people and making friends and whatnot, but I’d like to enjoy meeting new people who are from MY fandoms without having to join 20 different feed groups in order to meet them. It’s unfair that my feed is full of stuff like super mario and guilty gear but nothing that I actually enjoy. This is an issue for hundreds of people, please don’t ignore our complaints about this.

I see there’s at least one review from nearly a year ago mentioning how poor the experience on the iPad is. The iPad is frequently used in landscape mode, especially if one has a keyboard for it, and the Bluesky app STILL cannot deal with landscape orientation. It zooms in too much, it crops the content if you rotate the iPad to portrait in an attempt to fix it, and now it’s not even repositioning the view correctly when doing that. I know Bluesky’s dealing with a rapid increase in its user base, I know they’ve put a lot of work into other features like safety and privacy which are highly important and much appreciated, but this experience is extremely frustrating and seems utterly unnecessary. The Twitter/X app correctly handles this, the Instagram app handles this, why can’t Bluesky? It’s clearly doable, and the app should’ve been designed to handle this correctly from the start, not still be an issue a year or more later.
