😍 thanks, Daniel!

Hey ya'll! 👋🏽 What has helped you find your community on Bluesky?

Yay! So glad to hear it. We're so excited to get it out there! 💅 -Julia

One of the most common questions we hear: “When should I post?”

We’re starting to make that easier with Smart Scheduling, which recommends posting times based on platform patterns, and you can customize anytime!

Thanks for flagging! We're still digging into this one 😅

Alright. This is very helpful. Since you already reported this to Andy, I'm sure it'll be completely sorted out. If you notice anything wrong with the app again, please don't hesitate to give us another shout. - Octavio

Thanks for the prompt follow up. Got it. I'm glad that it's working correctly now. Just to ensure we are on the same page, this issue happened only on the iOS app, or did it happen on the web version as well? - Octavio

Oh! Thanks for sharing this extra information. It sounds like an odd one, especially since it was only happening for your BlueSky posts. It's possible that this issue was related to the incident that we identified two days ago. Could you let me know if it's working correctly for you now? - Octavio

Excellent! You are most welcome, Lee. Thanks for the confirmation. I hope you are having a great weekend. - Octavio

Hi there. When you choose “Next Available” in Buffer, your post is automatically scheduled for the next open time slot in your posting schedule. It will publish at the next scheduled time in your posting schedule and you should be able to see it in the Queue tab for that channel. - Octavio

Hi Lee. This issue has been resolved. Do you mind confirming if you can log in to your account now? - Octavio

Hi Lee, we are having issues affecting login and scheduling at the moment, I'm so sorry! The latest updates are here: status.buffer.com -Lexi

We’re hosting an event on Discord today! 🥳

See you there! 👋🏽

Curious to try it?

Head to Settings → Beta Features to opt in.

Huge thank you to our beta community for helping us shape what comes next. 💙

After months of testing, exploration, and iteration, we’re now rolling it out to our beta community! 🥳

You may have already noticed the evolution across our socials and website.

The web app is next!

This isn’t just a new coat of paint.

The refresh sets the stage for a new navigation system that reflects what Buffer has become and makes the product easier and more intuitive to use.

Over time, parts of our experience started to feel dated and less aligned with who we are today.

So Sofía and the Core UX team reimagined the foundation!

In our monthly Design Team syncs, we share the work we’re most proud of! 💙

This month, Senior Product Designer Sofía Toso walked us through one of the biggest shifts in our recent design history.

A visual refresh + navigation redesign for the web app ✨

Thanks for calling this out! We know it’s frustrating that threads can only be edited from the web right now. We’re working toward better feature parity between the web and mobile apps, and hope to support this in the future. Really appreciate the feedback 🙏 - Ben

We can’t wait to see what you build.

If you’re experimenting already, tell us what you’re making.

Let’s build in public. 💙

This is a beta, which means we’re building it in public! 💪🏽

Your feedback on the API and developer experience genuinely shapes what ships next. Full launch is planned for the end of April! 🥳

Want to connect Buffer to your favorite LLMs or workflow tools? 🤩

We’ve launched a new MCP server integrations page with details:
publish.buffer.com/settings/int...

This is where things start to get interesting!

Once you’re in:

→ Head to your API settings to generate your API key
publish.buffer.com/settings/api

→ Dive into our developer docs

We’re opening up public beta access starting today.

You can opt into Buffer’s beta program here:
publish.buffer.com/settings/beta

Heads up: we use feature flags, so it may take a few minutes for access to update on your account. 🤗

Big news: the Buffer API Public Beta is officially live! 🎉

If you’ve ever wanted to build on top of Buffer, automate deeper workflows, or connect your favorite tools, this one’s for you.

Hi William-Jose - I'm really sorry the recent updates haven't been helpful. Extra clicks when you’re trying to post quickly are never ideal. I appreciate you calling this out. I’ll share this with the team so it’s part of future improvements. -Ben

Thanks a bunch, @surfdude29.ispost.ing and @pogue.omg.lol for flagging this and sharing your thoughts. There could be a few different things going on in the background, but it's curious that cardyb.bsky.app can't generate link previews in some instances. I'd let our engineers know! Best - Cheryl

Hey there, I'd love to understand your workflow as I dig into this. Would you mind sharing more details about instances where you need to share a buff.ly link directly in Bluesky rather than via Buffer? Thanks - Cheryl, Technical Team.

Thanks for clarifying that! I was using Buffer to publish the links: share.buffer.com/QwuZWKPp. But I'm seeing the same when trying to share the buff.ly link directly on Bluesky. Let me check with our team to see if they have any insights, and I'll circle back. -Ben

Sorry for the trouble here! I’ve just tested your link on my end, and both the shortened and full versions published with the preview displaying correctly. You may have been hitting an intermittent issue. Could you share more information on how you're creating the post? - Ben
