I cannot stress enough how important it is to follow people other than your list of big accounts from twitter
some of them are here and posting! but a lot of folks parked their accounts just in case and never migrated
go find some active funny people and branch out

"this app is so dead" - guy that has posted twice in the last month & only follows 4 people
Comments
* like your own posts
* repost your own stuff (replies don’t bump a thread here)
* follow @lovefairy.nl (likes all your posts) and @whatsmid.bsky.social (reposts 6-like posts)
but people really don’t mind here and it does genuinely get it in front of more people - I’ve reposted something just to have folks who I swear saw it the first time happily engage with it
“Someone liked your post”
Yeah “they” did 😅
The ideal Bluesky experience should be trying different things than Twitter and branching out, I think.
and honestly with all of its growing pains this place remains *significantly* friendlier than twitter for the most part
Which will lend to it becoming a friendly place as people can just better find places good for them.
(apart from some Main Characters but we don't talk about them)
I had no idea who you were on twitter! or even chin! I just made friends with new people over here because I decided to start riffing and found a bunch of folks I clicked with
It’s really a quote straightforward “the science of in-jokes situation.
💿🌐
had many followers on twitter, has many followers here, lovely human being who is happy to engage with anyone
This is all new ground, and it’s been interesting so far.
Here, I'm following accounts on whether they seem interesting.
I think I still have to do some deprogramming due to the amount of time I've spent on Twitter
by all means find people whose content you enjoyed on the old site (e.g. you!) and of course any friends who have migrated here
but especially if the place is feeling a bit empty to you make some new friends too
I was like I have no idea who these people are but they are active and funny and cute
and now I have many cool new friends!
HOW CAN PEOPLE SAY THIS PLACE IS DEAD?!
This is like cishet renaissance for me RN. I’m discovering new wavelengths of light
I would mostly just prefer to avoid the people posting for clout if they're doing it by being mean
I'm not interested in screaming matches or dunking. it's boring and annoys me when it's on my skyline.
just... look for content! it's here! it might not be exactly the same content you had on twitter but this place is in fact very active if you're paying attention
but it's nice that you can tune that depending on what you want out of the app
here has been a lot more fun so far!
I also have no invites so I really can’t have my friends here anyways lol
1)Find interesting posters.
2)Check the vibe.
3)If the vibe is good you follow.
This place is so much more interaction-focused and it's great
But I have already met a good few new funny people by engaging in actual conversations and I enjoy that so much about bsky
there’s a reason we usually don’t recommend starting with that one - it’s a parody of a very specific era of fantasy and not super representative of the later series
I wrote up a discworld primer but here is my specific recommendation post for better starting points
This place is just as bad as the other place for it
like I don’t consider myself large but I have a decent following at this point and a lot of the people I shout out I’ve been friends with since we were tiny a month ago
and I still meet new smaller accounts I like often
It’s very hard when you’re new to be seen by anyone.
I don't miss the 'everyone fight' algorithm but it does demand more activity
Anyway onwards and upwards, Classic is the only true feed 😃
