Well, a few weeks ago I suggested @eurosky.social @mu.social to create a list of MU’s special features— compared to Bsky app’s (link): @renderg.host any update pls? 🙂

Companion Cat

A little cat hangs out at the bottom of the screen. Tap it to pet it – scratch its head or tickle its belly.

The mu.social companion pixel cat (Mine is an orange tabby) scaled up super big to fit the browser window, and in various animation states, from playful to sleeping.

a feature i and many others long wanted in bsky now on @mu.social: syntax highlighting, both directly in the post and for longer code as a @tangled.org string embed! "we can just yolo-merge things!"

News Feed

The biggest upside of @mu.social compared to the official @bsky.app is the news page, where you can pre-filter the topics. A good option to login there, when I like to see more news, but less politics.

You know when you find a great thread but it’s hard to read? Now with one tap (top right) in mu.social you get one uninterrupted view. Featuring @howtobuildup.bsky.social @marleenstikker.eurosky.social @robin.berjon.com cc @mu.social
