I remember some people years ago saying that — they wanted to "subscribe" to the "server live feeds" on community servers different from the one that they are on

This is a way of following & perhaps even joining a community without necessarily being on that server

Which for example is useful if you wanted to be part of more than one community but use the same account

Made by Bay Area native @ricohabano.bsky.social, this custom feed is better than any single website or channel — it includes print and video sources like @SFistNews, 48 Hills, @sfchronicle, @kqed, @bside and more.

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 bsky.app/profile/surf.social/p).

As always, please let us know what you think by sending notes to feedback@surf.social. And thank you for testing with us!

@zsotykai is a board game aficionado whose Surf feed contains game news, podcasts like The Dice Tower and Shut Up & Sit Down, and YouTube channels like No Rolls Barred and Board Game Barrage. If you wanna jump to just the new podcasts or videos, go to the Listen and Watch tabs, respectively. (This applies to any feed!)
