Sync Bluesky Bookmarks

Transcript:

In this video, we're going to walk you through how to use Dewey with Bluesky. Now, in the past, Bluesky did not have a bookmarks feature, and so we at Dewey had to create a custom or hybrid or janky solution for Bluesky to have bookmarks where part of our Chrome extension would have overlaid a bookmark icon. Well, that no longer is relevant because as of 2026, Bluesky now has a native saved post or bookmark function. And Dewey works really well with it. And I want to show you how to use it so that you can see how easy it is to bookmark on Bluesky using their native bookmarking feature. And then watch how that goes directly into your Dewey feed.

So, I'm on the uh Bluesky homepage. for my main discover feed. And I already have some saved posts, but I'll go ahead and save a couple more. Okay. And you'll notice the Dewey uh popup is showing, which means that the Chrome extension is working. So, for this for the purposes of this video, um we do recommend having the Dewey Chrome extension already installed on your Chrome uh browser or Firefox browser. And I'm going to bookmark another post. And you'll see another thing on the bottom that says bookmark added to Dewey. So this lets you know that it it is working. But let's just go ahead and check in our save posts. Okay. Now we see all of my save posts are showing. Now because this is the first time that I'm ever pulling in bookmarks from Bluesky into Dewey, I do have to click this grab bookmarks button on the bottom. And so I'll click that. And while it's processing those, I want to mention that you only need to do this the first time.

In the future, Dewey will automatically grab any new posts from Bluesky that you've added. So, you won't have to go in and click grab bookmarks each time. We'll do this for you automatically in the background. But for that first time, in order to create that connection, you click grab bookmarks.

So now I'm going to go back into Dewey and refresh the page. And when I search by source here on the lefth hand side, I go to Bluesky. And now I see that my Bluesky bookmarks that I've brought in using Bluesky's native save post feature or bookmark feature are now showing up inside of Dewey. It's that easy.
