SecretSkies

Finally, a Bluesky edit button? It's close! This is what you can do right now

Bluesky proper does not have a universal edit button. SecretSkies gives you the most you can do right now: an edited version that compatible third-party ATProto apps, forked communities, or community clients can choose to show while Bsky proper keeps showing the original.

?The honest answer for anyone searching for a Bluesky edit button.

Bluesky edit button

Not magic. Not universal. Still useful.

If your audience is only using Bsky proper, they will see the original post. If your audience is using a compatible third-party app or a forked community, SecretSkies can work like an edit button for that community.

  • Bsky proper still shows the original post.
  • SecretSkies updates the ATProto record underneath it.
  • Compatible communities may show the edited version.
  • You can test whether your community view supports it.

Key takeaway

SecretSkies is not a universal Bluesky edit button. Bsky proper will still show the original. But if you are using a compatible third-party ATProto app, forked community, or community client, SecretSkies can let that community show the edited version.

The plain-English version

You searched for a Bluesky edit button because you want to fix something you already posted. The honest answer is that Bluesky proper does not currently let you edit a post everywhere. SecretSkies gives you the strongest available workaround: it creates an edited version that can appear where compatible ATProto communities choose to read the updated record.

So the promise is simple. You cannot edit Bluesky everywhere. You can edit what some compatible communities see.

Who this is for

  • People using third-party ATProto apps.
  • People building or participating in forked communities.
  • Community moderators and builders who want their own view of posts.
  • Users who understand that Bsky proper remains conservative and shows the original.
