I'm still surprised Blusky doesn't have saved posts.

donorak.bsky.social•177 days ago

I jumped that ship. I dont rely on either for income but I understand a full time creator has very different priorities than me. Hopefully bluesky does what they said they would do.

honkworks.bsky.social•177 days ago

Meli, 100% with you on that. Though I'm having difficulty connecting with others here. =\

voidgroup.net•177 days ago

There seem to be a bunch of ways to do that, like starter packs for example :3

randomhoneyhunter.bsky.social•177 days ago

Yeah, I almost feel spoiled that I've only just started building my social media accounts, and I feel like I get better traction here as long as I tag things well. My growth is already more than twice my Twitter with less junk-bot follows here, with more active art shares to build community in.

geminielemental.bsky.social•177 days ago

What are the features you'd want?

zachrid.bsky.social•177 days ago

Bluesky also has way less bots and dead accounts, which means the that one follower here is probably worth a lot more.

flyingkelvin.bsky.social•177 days ago

Gotta convince more followers to give up on twitter too.

nkato.bsky.social•177 days ago

Just remember that a lot of the numbers on Twitter are followbots.

If your engagement is higher on BSky than on Twitter, despite having lower follow counts, then you've pretty much reached that inflection point.

pathesis.bsky.social•177 days ago

Fuck real and 100% recommend when that happens.

nopetoofast.bsky.expert•177 days ago

*laughs in banned from twitter*

foxlunarius.bsky.social•177 days ago

It's a horror show over there. such a better peace here

bramblethehuman.bsky.social•177 days ago

Does the number of followers matter as much as the actual interaction the posts get?

n9199.bsky.social•177 days ago

I really hope more people move, but yeah, it's still missing some features. The top one in my list is better notification settings, if they just integrate Blue Notify I'd be happy.

lucasepic.bsky.social•177 days ago

I hear you, Mel. I'm using twitter less and less myself. In fact, I'm most likely going to stop using it completely by next year.

gayfortomboys.bsky.social•177 days ago

I don't think ur gonna get your Twitter numbers on here until you delete your Twitter. It's just simple facts that people are still using Twitter as the default and won't move unless they have to.

quechrysler.bsky.social•177 days ago

Hell yaaaaa

viopercus.bsky.social•177 days ago

It might take a while but I hope you get there soon!

wafifi.bsky.social•177 days ago

I honestly left Twitter and haven’t regretted it. I understand your need to move business functions here, I hope it picks up for you!

pandajohn71.bsky.social•177 days ago

I'm still working on engaging on here more. I find it nicer than Twitter...just new to it and don't remember to open it every day.

valthanarial.bsky.social•177 days ago

I hope you get there. A lot of NSFW content creators I follow say that even with lower follower counts, they still get similar interaction rates because of Shitter's awful policies.

amethystmay.bsky.social•177 days ago

Your Kraken picture seems to do well 🤭

voidgroup.net•177 days ago

So reallll, Bluesky has been so much better, hope everyone else agrees too!

hardicane.bsky.social•177 days ago

You'll get there. Will just take some time.

dragonecc.bsky.social•177 days ago

Thought you did computer Artificer! Is an Open Standard so you should be able to craft and enchant your keyboard. 😜

shinra.cc•175 days ago

Wouldn’t it also be helpful to shepherd those followers from TwiX to here? Do like little “teaser” posts like some comic artists do. Like first two panels and then say “read the rest on BlueSky” or something, do little half posts to get them chompin’ then make the better post here.

gentlemanocto.bsky.social•177 days ago

I love to see more of the big names in various spaces moving here, you all are really going to help make this a viable and safer platform

acemalicious.bsky.social•177 days ago

What are your biggest asks when it comes to features?

Mine is an Alerts setting so I can get notifications when accounts post (example: game dev patch announcements).
