🔒🔒🔒 Let's talk permissions 🔒🔒🔒 When the beta drops, you'll be able to define which roles can do what, where they can chat, and if they can join voice chats. 🎉 Available July 25

New communities means new features... 👀 Introducing Roles: an easy way to manage permissions and give your community a fresh look. 🎉 Experience them in-app starting July 25.

Continuing our posting streak up to the release: Communities have been reworked! When the beta launches on July 25, owners can migrate them to the new system with a single click. 👇🏻

The wait is almost over. Mark your calendars, save the date: the Colibri Social beta releases on July 25! 🎉 Follow us for more teases over the next week. You don't want to miss this.

Guess who's in the socials section 😁

CALLING ALL ANDROID USERS! 📱 If you want to help us with testing the Android app, please DM us with your Google account email address! Testers will receive a special badge in-app 👀

You can tell we're getting closer to launch now... here's how our login screen and registration looks!

Annoyed by those pesky ghost pings? Yeah, we were too. So we made sure you know what happens when a message that pinged you gets deleted.

👀

Have an overview of all our text styles! That's it. That's the post.

Colibri for Desktop is so 2026. The future is Colibri on Mobile 📱 Including swipe controls, forward/back nav for sidebars and sheets, and mobile-compatible drawers! Coming soon™️ to a device near you.

We head that timestamp feature a certain app has is pretty good ⏰ (oh also we'll have code blocks and quotes, look at the video background!)

So many new features in a single image! Try and spot them all 👀

Do YOU know a logo designer? ARE YOU a logo designer? Would you like to contribute a new logo for Colibri as part of the upcoming beta launch? Let us know by shooting us a DM!

Final feature post for the night: Social Providers! Switch to whatever you use instead of bsky.app. And if your favorite isn't there yet, let us know or add it yourself!

Did some one say PERMISSIONS? No? Well, we're doing that anyway. User on the left can only update channels, while the user on the right can also delete them.

This is probably what role creation will look like!

Don't mind @otterlord.dev being a quadruple owner of our test community. That's a bug, not a feature

Sneak-peek of messaging working with the new infra! You might notice a little notification bell in the top right, I wonder what that'll do... 👀

We're still at it, and we're getting somewhere! Here's a quick peek at the first non-alpha community, complete with roles and a better permission system. All running on a dedicated, managed DID with our new appview: atproto.at/uri/at://did...

What's this? Both core maintainers, at the same place, working on the rework? 💻

Thanks to @k4rnxg3.bsky.social, we know have a typing presence! 🧑‍💻

So, apparently we've managed to be the #4 post on news.ycombinator.com/news? 😅 (Down to 5th now, but still, that's crazy!)
