Big 👍

Surf Beta Testers 🏄♂️
Our biggest release yet is here! Enjoy redesigned navigation that drops you right into your Surf Timeline in the new Home experience and lets you quickly access your go-to feeds from anywhere in Surf.
Here's a quick look at what's new:
In case you missed it, we released a new version of Surf last week, with a redesigned Home. Here are a few cool new Surf feeds to celebrate (and to keep you occupied if you're enjoying a few days off for the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday).

After the news about the massive layoffs at the Washington Post broke, the team at @Flipboard created this Surf Feed of independent journalists. Enjoy it as is, or create a new feed using it as the source, then filter it according to the topics you're interested in, from news to video games.

🎉 Version 1.0.356 of Surf is live on TestFlight and Android. Now, you have deeper customization options for your feeds — set your default tabs according to the type of content you want to highlight, filter by Bluesky or Mastodon, or even use Surf as your RSS reader.
If you’re in the Surf beta, you can make topical feeds about anything from the #GratefulDead to Destiny 2 — and the people featured in this thread did. Here’s a quick video on how to build a feed.
If you're looking for the latest tech news, or for inspiration on building your own Surf feed, check out Tech Wave in the Surf Shop.
Another quiet week in the news, with nothing much to report… But if you do want to follow the very little, totally inconsequential stuff that's happening, here’s a thread of news- and politics-related #CustomFeeds that have been created using Surf, plus a video on how to build a feed using our Starter Sets.
In another news-packed week, here’s a thread full of palate-cleansing custom feeds created with Surf about everything from queer country music to the demoscene. Here's a quick guide to creating a custom feed.

You can use Surf to create a custom feed about anything you like — add hashtags, RSS, YouTube and podcasts feeds, @Flipboard Magazines and social profiles, then filter and refine till you get things just how you want them. Here's how, plus a thread with a few feeds we like.
Been messing with #surf all weekend. I think the @theverge did a great job of describing what it’s all about / how it fits into the wider social web product space on the #Vergecast .
My biggest issue is knowing where a post has come from. I don’t know if I’m “liking” a Bluesky item, or a Mastodon one, and so on.
Maybe I shouldn’t care?

Today, we’re launching social websites, a new kind of online destination. These blend posts from Bluesky, Threads, Mastodon and more, plus YouTube, podcasts and your favorite publications to create community sites based around the things that matter to you.

Have you checked out @jasonkoebler's @404mediaco Media Rebels Surf feed? It's full of tech builders, writers and thinkers, like @Gargron, @timnitGebru, @molly0xfff, @briankrebs and more, filtered for tech talk.

And this is where #SurfSocial lost me. The subscription was one thing, but I don’t want/need ads.
