Hi Ellie, there is no algorithm here. Those two tags get you into those relevant feeds. That's how you find others, and how others find you.

I'm not going to spam you with the link, but I recently published a cheap downloadable guide to help indie authors get to grips with BlueSky.

Please do spam me with the link! I'm on Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube so I'm used to everywhere having a slightly different algorithm.

Naturally this place has me totally lost! Just about figured out that feeds are a big thing, but that's all.

Cool! I released it last week. Just £3 until Friday when it goes up to £5.

If you need clarification on anything in the guide, feel free to DM me. I'm not a marketing professional, but I've been here 18 months and feel I've got to grips with how it all works.

Thank you for sharing! I'll save it for a later look and hopefully snag a copy. I want to make the most of this new platform, but it's pretty strange to me so far.

Welcome! It's very different from Twitter and Threads

elliejaywrites.bsky.social•2 days ago

Deceptively so! It looks like and is marketed as an alternative for Twitter but I find Twitter so easy and Bluesky so confusing

link to your URL/Books would be appropriate here, too.

Thanks for the tip! I couldn't fit it in the OG post but will share my Amazon Author page (and my website for those who don't love the Zon) in the comments
