Okay pals, this is my Starter Kit for all of you transitioning from twitter to bluesky. If you've been here a little bit you might already know some of this but this is meant to cover all the things you'll want to know about moving from there to here - the differences, the workarounds, and the perks - ThreadSky

First things first. We don't have an algorithm - thank goodness. So boost each other. Repost (reskeet lol) each others' art, photos, etc. Repost other peoples' work you like, etc. bsky is back to community roots. And because you'll have a LOT of reposts in your feed, you may need to clean your feed

OnlyPosts is straight up just posts, no RP/QRP included.

You can ALSO get a feed for straight up moots only to see content of only people who follow you back

Pin the feeds you like so you can access them from your home, and then you can hit the # to organize them or access the feeds directly (and get the share links like I'm doing now) You can get feeds for TONS of things. I have some for art, there's one for "popular with friends" (like a for you page)

(I lied; idk how to organize them, short of reopening them all and pining them in the order you want them to appear. That's still how you access them all, though!)

While we're at it, THIS is an important feed

BSKY doesn't yet have bookmarks, so if you leave a 📌reply to something and then go to this feed, it will show you all posts you've replied with 📌 to. V common practice, you won't look silly!

One way to block things is via labelers. You subscribe to the labeler and then once done, you can go through the list below to choose what to show, hide, or warn you about.
