Admins: Can RealGM add a Bluesky button for posts?

[TunaFish]

We need Bluesky and soon.

We plan to add it. I haven't found an extension that works with our current version yet.

Bluesky passed 34 million users last night. Basketball coverage on the site keeps growing as well.

The official NBA account is now actively posting on Bluesky. https://bsky.app/profile/nba.com

Here are their first two posts, one for the NBA, and one for the WNBA:

The Philadelphia 76ers official account has become increasingly active on Bluesky. https://bsky.app/profile/sixersnba.bsky.social
Other teams are active as well.

Bluesky users are now over 37 million.

Notifications have been added. https://www.engadget.com/apps/bluesky-is-finally-adding-more-ways-to-filter-notifications-185542105.html

The amount of posts from basketball beat writers keeps increasing. There's hundreds of hoops writers posting on there now.


A Bluesky button would be very useful loading posts, photos and videos from there to RealGM. RealGM would noticeably benefit from this. If there is a technical issue holding things up, perhaps the Bluesky techs might be able to help with that.


Chad Finn in the Boston Globe:

While announcing new notification settings this week, Bluesky used The Athletic — the once-independent sports platform that now doubles as The New York Times sports section — as the example of how the new notifications from preferred news sources work.

This confirms what Harry Packer, who heads Bluesky’s sports efforts, told the website Awful Announcing in May. “Sports is a top priority, to make that clear, I think it’s probably the top priority for us, to be honest,” he said.“And our ambition there is simply to become the best place for real-time sports discussion.”
