Bluesky

Bluesky is an open network with a 300-character limit and custom feeds rather than one algorithmic timeline. Using the right feed-friendly language matters more than timing.

#Connect Bluesky

Bluesky doesn't use a sign-in page. You connect with your handle and an app password, a separate password that you can revoke at any time.

1. In Bluesky, open Settings → App passwords and create one.
2. In Sosial, open Channels → Bluesky.
3. Enter your handle (your name alone works, Sosial adds .bsky.social) and paste the app password.
4. Select Connect Bluesky.

#Limits

The composer checks these as you type, so a post that's too long for Bluesky is flagged before it's scheduled.

#What works on Bluesky

• Short takes
• Developer and researcher audiences
• Linking to long-form work

#Tips

#Add alt text to every image

It is a strong norm on Bluesky and makes posts accessible. It also shows up in search.

#Post smaller and more often

300 characters suits a quick observation. Save the essay for Threads or LinkedIn.

#Write for feeds, not a clock

Chronological and custom feeds mean consistency beats timing far more than it does elsewhere.

#Avoid

• Threads longer than three or four posts.
• Ignoring alt text. It reads as careless to a technical audience.
• Cross-posting marketing copy verbatim from X.
