Bluesky saw a massive surge in users in 2024.
The social media platform has become one of the primary destinations for those leaving X (formerly Twitter).
This year, 22.9 million people signed up for Bluesky.
“At launch, Bluesky had an early community of 3M people.
One week later, over a million new users had signed up,” said Bluesky.
2024 also saw Bluesky meet its goal to implement federation, which makes an interconnected social online grid possible.
As a result, people can run personal data servers rather than relying on Bluesky’s infrastructure.
This time one year ago, Bluesky provided a bare-bones experience.
This year the platform added support for hashtags, direct messages, video sharing, and trending topics.
That feature, which is surprisingly unique, allows people to create a list of accounts to follow.
Below are all the new features from 2024 highlighted by Bluesky.
