Hi everyone! Here’s your semi-regular Bridgy Fed status update. We’ve been busy [since last time](https://snarfed.org/2026-01-04_56304 )!
The two big new features we launched were [domain blocklists](https://blog.anew.social/launch-domain-blocklists/ ) ([GitHub](https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/2194 )) and [responding to unbridged users](https://blog.anew.social/launch-interact-with-unbridged-replies-mentions/ ) ([GitHub](https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/2042 )). We’ve seen good feedback and usage on both, especially responding to unbridged users. Please keep the feedback coming!
We also significantly improved bridging speed, especially to Bluesky. For a couple months, it slowed down to an average delay of 3-5 minutes, with outliers that took so long that we occasionally dropped them entirely. Not good. [We worked hard to optimize](https://github.com/snarfed/arroba/issues/74 ) and managed to cut that average delay down to just 5-10 seconds, which feels way better.
We shipped a bunch of smaller stuff too:
<li>Bluesky <a href="https://standard.site/">standard.site</a> <a href="https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/2324">support</a> (still rolling out)</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/2136">Improve pinned posts</a>, notably when they were pinned before a user enabled the bridge</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/2091">Fediverse: use Article <code>preview</code> field</a></li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/2284">Web UI: add buttons to unblock domain blocklists in settings</a></li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/2296">Web UI: bug fix for raw HTML appearing in some warning messages</a></li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/2338">bug fix for linking @-mentions of unbridged fediverse users</a></li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/2316">bug fix for Webfinger XRD output</a></li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/2327">Misc</a> <a href="https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/2367">reliability</a> <a href="https://github.com/snarfed/arroba/issues/75">improvements</a> to our ATProto firehose server and client</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/2060">Unfollowed everyone from the @ap.brid.gy Bluesky bot account</a>. Its large number of follows (65k+) had unintentionally landed it on a handful of “follows too many people” automated blocklists.</li>
