Editing is designed for fixing mistakes or making small corrections shortly after posting, without changing the original meaning of a post.

You can edit a post for up to 5 minutes after publishing.

• You can only edit a post once.
• Photos, videos and other media can’t be added or changed, including image alt text.
• Edited posts will show a clear Edited label.
• Post editing is available to accounts that are more than one week old.
• Any existing post metrics (likes, reposts, etc) will be reset.
• You’ll be able to see the previous version of an edited post.

Syntax Highlighting

Wrap your code sample in ```triple backticks``` to render a code format block:

0.1 + 0.2 // 0.30000000000000004
NaN === NaN // false
typeof null // "object"
\[] == !\[] // true
"5" + 3 // "53"

Tangled Strings

Strings on Tangled is a minimal lightweight pastebin-style feature integrated into user profiles for sharing configurations, logs, or short code blocks.

Here's an example of a string by @flo-bit.dev : https://tangled.org/strings/flo-bit.dev/3mnz3howjai22.

Add this string to your Mu post and it renders like this:

Pasting a link to an atmo.rsvp event (e.g. https://atmo.rsvp/p/atmosphereconf.org/e/LZxV6dv) renders a special card which allows viewers to RSVP to events directly in the feed.

Choose the content service that supplies user profiles, posts, and feeds to Mu.

• Only use a content service you trust.
• Different services may return different content and apply different moderation policies.
• Not every content service supports every feature in Mu. If the service you choose does not support a feature, Mu may still use Bluesky to provide it.

Custom AppView

Even if you don't use Mu, you can use the custom Eurosky AppView in your bsky client. The url is api.eurosky.network and the full service string is did:web:api.eurosky.network#bsky_appview.

Choose which service the Translate button uses. DeepL and LibreTranslate are privacy-friendly alternatives to Google.

Copy your mu.social data from one content service to another.

Choose where to copy from and to, then select the data you want to transfer.

• This is a one-time copy, not a sync. Changes you make later won't be transferred automatically, and your active content service won't change.
• Some data, including drafts and certain mute settings, can't currently be transferred.

Mu's Newsrooms feature groups journalists together with their publication, so instead of following individual accounts one by one, you can follow an entire outlet (like 404 Media) and see its staff listed alongside it for quick-follow. Newsroom saves you digging around Bluesky trying to find who writes for where.
