What happens to my old .bsky.social username if I switch to a custom handle?
Your original .bsky.social username will be reserved for you. This means no one else can claim it, and you will have the option to switch back if you change your mind.
Will mentions of my old handle still work?
Yes. Any mentions or tags using your old handle will still point to your account, even after you switch to a new custom handle.
How does it work?
You search for the username you want, choose from one of our available domains, and register your handle. After purchasing, you'll need to activate it, which we’ll guide you through step by step.
What is Custom Handles?
Custom Handles allows you to register a custom handle for Bluesky using a subdomain of one of our available domains. This helps you establish a personalised and recognisable identity on the network.
