Hi all, I'm doing a bunch of quality of life improvements right now and wanted to let you know ahead of the next founder announcement that some feed changes just went live. In an effort to make your feed more interesting and include content you can actually interact with, the following changes were just added:

When you mute a book from your feed, it will also mute comments & posts created by people you follow for that book

You will not see spoiler book posts from people you follow if that book is not in your library

You will not see comments made on book posts from people you follow if that book is not in your library

Hopefully this makes your scrolling more relevant to you! You can always see every post and comment from someone you follow in their book journey (when you click on a book, tap on "Activity from people you follow" and click the map icon next to someone's username)

Back in February (how has time gone by so fast?!), I had the idea of mixing and matching Quest badges together as little themed "packs" based solely on the visual look/vibes and aesthetic of the badges...and since then, it feels like a million new Quests have been added! Because today also happens to be my PBversary 🫛🐝, I thought it was about time to post a continuation :D so here's part 2 of Quest badge theme packs!

The first thread can be found here, if you are curious. All Quests listed below are hyperlinked using italic text!

Spring in the City

The sky is blue, the sun is high, and flower petals fall like rain over the city streets. Or, as Clarice Lispector put it: "But it was a May afternoon and with its perfume the fresh air was an open flower. So she thought it was marvelous and strange to be walking the streets—with the wind ruffling her hair. She couldn't remember when she'd last been alone, with just herself."
