Bluesky, the social media platform, is testing a new feature called the 'live' indicator. This feature is designed to help you find and join real-time conversations as they happen. The company is starting this test with NBA broadcasts, making it easier for users to see when live discussions about NBA games are taking place.

When the 'live' indicator is active, you will see a label on posts or feeds related to ongoing NBA games. This lets you know that people are currently talking about the game in real time. The goal is to make it simpler for you to join live discussions and stay updated with the latest moments as they unfold.

Bluesky has not shared details about when the 'live' indicator will be available to everyone. For now, the feature is limited to NBA-related content as part of the initial test. The company may expand the feature to other live events in the future, depending on user feedback and how well the test goes.

This move is part of Bluesky's efforts to improve how users discover and participate in live conversations on the platform. By highlighting real-time discussions, Bluesky hopes to make the platform more engaging during major events like NBA games.
