I don’t know if I’m not using this app right 😅. I don’t get much activity on my timeline and the last few messages I wrote got zero interaction. Are there some tricks to be seen here? Maybe I’m just traumatised by X and worry if I upset the mighty algorithm. Or maybe I’m just overthinking it. - ThreadSky

Glad to see you here!!

joshhanley.au•109 days ago

Howdy! 🤠

zuzana-k.com•109 days ago

Hello!

techenby.com•109 days ago

Yeah I also am not seeing a ton of activity on my timeline either, but I am still hopeful for the future, since it seems like more and more folks are here every day.

zuzana-k.com•109 days ago

My timeline has definitely improved since yesterday. Still don’t get many notifications but at least now I know that doesn’t mean anything.

chailey.whiteland.net•109 days ago

*waves* (but the lack of a Bluesky iPad means I’m less inclined to check in even daily – the scaled-up iPhone app isn’t a good experience).

zuzana-k.com•109 days ago

Hi Jonathan 👋, it's good to see you here!
I think if more people migrate, things will improve here.

alexandersix.com•109 days ago

Hello! This is me interacting! 👋🏻

Hope to see more of you over here!

zuzana-k.com•109 days ago

Hey! Thanks for interacting 😃

I didn’t get notified about your message. Maybe that’s my problem, no notifications?

alexandersix.com•109 days ago

Woah, that’s weird—sounds like that might be your issue. I got a notification on my phone almost immediately after you replied.

zuzana-k.com•109 days ago

I think my notifications are struggling a bit, I just had loads of interactions and no notifications for a good while, and then they all displayed at once.

alexandersix.com•109 days ago

So weird! Hopefully things get better again

projektgopher.com•109 days ago

I don't understand why I wasn't following you back yet. I'd have followed instantly if I'd seen your name in my notifications

zuzana-k.com•109 days ago

I will try to forgive you.

saml.dev•109 days ago

I don't get many replies to my original posts, but I get a lot of discussion when I reply to others 🤷‍♂️ I'm still new to the community though so kind of makes sense

benholmen.com•109 days ago

Hey @mijustin.bsky.social can you please get Zuzana into the Laravel starter pack?

joe.codes•109 days ago

Seconded ☝️

gros.co•109 days ago

The motion passes.

They should allow PRs on these things.

gal.jakic.dev•109 days ago

Glad to see the motion pass, but let’s not have the ability to add people to starter packs as a PR - that would be the second coming of the Hacktober fiascos. 😅

justinjackson.ca•109 days ago

Yes! Done. ✅

techenby.com•109 days ago

👋 would it also be possible to be added?

justinjackson.ca•109 days ago

Done! ✅

techenby.com•109 days ago

Thanks!

beausimensen.com•109 days ago

Where is this pack you speak of?

justinjackson.ca•109 days ago

beausimensen.com•109 days ago

Thanks! I don't know much about packs. Can you collect them or bookmark them?

beausimensen.com•109 days ago

Actually, never mind. This is a definitely an interesting feature but it wasn't obvious how to use it! Finally jumped on my desktop to do some reading and found it that way.

Thanks for creating this one! :)

benholmen.com•109 days ago

I think you might need to follow some more people!

Replying is another good way to find your people, you're recognizable and your replies will be seen by people who don't know you're here.

zuzana-k.com•109 days ago

I’m trying! I go over everyone’s followed list like a little stalker and follow people I missed 😂.

zahirnia.com•109 days ago

Yeah I'm also missing most notifications, both on PC and Android.

I think the app experience is really a downgrade coming from X. It's missing a lot of essentials.

zuzana-k.com•109 days ago

So far I noticed the notification bug and no analytics on my posts. But maybe that's for the best 😃.

marty.friedel.au•109 days ago

Just keep posting… I started early and was speaking to the void for a while… not as head game-y as bird related sites, and because it’s more organic, I think it’s slower. Nice change of pace though.

zuzana-k.com•109 days ago

Yeah, I need to free myself from what it is like on the other site. You blink, and the content is gone, forever lost in the sea of tweets. On here, you blink and blink and blink - and nothing happens 😃.

But that's good. Different, but good.

marty.friedel.au•109 days ago

The algorithms on that site - and other image-based ones - have algorithms that keep content constantly changing to keep attention… but also isn’t a real snapshot of what’s going on: everything becomes totally temporary.

mattstenson.com•109 days ago

There are different feeds based on the things you want to see (you can even write your own feeds!) Here are the feeds that I'm using the most right now:

zuzana-k.com•109 days ago

Thank you, I didn’t realise! Just followed the Laravel feed.

stefangalescu.bsky.social•109 days ago

TIL! How did I not think that there would be a Laravel feed 🫠

zuzana-k.com•109 days ago

It's a like a treasure hunt 😃. We keep discovering new things about this place.

mjwhansen.com•109 days ago

Hi Zuzana!! Glad to see you here 😊

Your posts are definitely showing up in my timeline

newton.co.ke•109 days ago

Saw this tweet on my TL and now I've followed you! Was already a follower on the other app.

veni.dev•109 days ago

Would you like to be added to this starter pack?

https://go.bsky.app/DFvXfF5

zuzana-k.com•109 days ago

Yes, please, Veni!

I've also been looking for a Women in Tech starter pack. Do you know if one exists? Although I think this Diversity pack might be it 🤔.

veni.dev•109 days ago

Will do!

Anna made one for women in tech as well.

zuzana-k.com•109 days ago

Thanks! Just followed everyone and asked Anna to add me there too.
