It’s like twitter and tumblr had a baby!

I’m new here—good to know!

And the only consequence of using strong language is that some people might unfollow you.

jayispainting.earthskyart.ca•108 days ago

Yup. Unfollow, block, mute. Whatever. It's the Bluesky way.

Reposts, quote-posts, or both?

jayispainting.earthskyart.ca•107 days ago

Both are fine

Hi Jay! I've missed you. I'm trying to build followers. Only about 1500 short so far. Help me out?

jayispainting.earthskyart.ca•108 days ago

First thing you need to do is get a non default profile pic & bio. If you don't people won't generally follow you and many will block outright. Then search for "starter pack {topics of interest}

Like "starter pack art" you can follow everyone with 1 click. Many/most will follow back.

Thanks for the tips!

Hi Jay! Are you planning to do the Christmas Advent on here this year? Would love to see it and think it would help us connect as artists and art lovers. Have a super day 😊

jayispainting.earthskyart.ca•108 days ago

Yes! And it's the only place I'm doing it. You can follow the feed

And use the #artAdventCalendar hashtag

goodnrg.bsky.social•107 days ago

Awesome! I loved participating in the “other” place. So glad to see it happening here. Have a super weekend. 😊

Likes are fine but do nothing to surface posts in the default feed. There are feeds that use likes (like What's Hot) but if you want to help a creator or an org or issue, you -need- to repost.

Good tip. I had no idea.

No cringe worthy video that tells us that we are part of the Blue Sky family and it has some equally as cringe song in it that sticks to your brain like a parasite to make sure you know to do your task?

OKay.
Cool.
