Option for notification when a followed user posts

[gitanO0]

Would love to see a per-followed-user option to enable notifications for when the followed user posts. This is the one piece of functionality that's keeping me using "X". Please consider this so I can finally ditch X.

Was about to request the same thing, it's probably the feature I miss the most from Twitter. I follow a lot of people so stuff can get lost, so I would love to have an option to enable notifications for when a specific user posts something or quote-retweets something.

I’m also really looking forward to having this feature built-in to the official app.

In the meantime, if you have an iPhone or iPad you could have a look at Skeets, which is a Bluesky app for iOS/iPadOS by an independent developer. It has this feature (and many other great ones too), and it works pretty well in my experience.

For post notifications, you can choose whether you want to receive a notification when the user posts or quote posts, when the user replies to someone else’s post or in both cases.

Although, I can’t remember if notifications when a user posts are a Pro feature or not, perhaps the developer @seboslaw could remind me?

In any case, the Pro features are well worth the fairly small cost in my opinion.

• Skeets app website
• Skeets app profile on Bluesky

Thanks for the recommendation, but unfortunately I use Bluesky on pc and on my android phone.

@surfdude29 thx for recommending Skeets! Yeah, post notifications are a subscription feature for the time being.

Found this looking for how to enable this feature. It's the one thing I need to truly leave Twitter/X.

Edit: I'm on Android/PC browser. 2nd Edit: Want this feature for Android, specifically.

This is also for me the one feature missing for me to fully migrate over from Twitter. Hope we hear about this one soon. :)

This seems like a must-have for emergency services accounts to move from Twitter to Bsky.
