Photo set in an open grassy campground with trees around. In the foreground is a paper plate of chicken gumbo with 2 charred whole shrimp on top. In the middle distance is a small cooking campfire, and behind that is a white camper van with the door open and a bicycle resting behind it.
TIPS: MOVING FROM XITTER TO BSKY Before you start following people, fill out your profile! Bio, PFP, banner, and post at least 5 to 10 things. Just reuse your top 10 banger tweets —recycling is encouraged! This way, when people see you followed them and they check your profile, they'll know you aren't a bot, will see what you are about, and might follow back. Turn off NSFW filters in Settings > Moderation > Content Filters (°3°) and Settings > Moderation > Advanced > Bluesky Moderation Service Find your friends from the hellsite using SkyFollowerBridge.com. Not perfect, but it will find the majority of the people you were following. Follow a few feeds related to your interests. Some generic ones I'd recommend: - Catch Up: kinda like a "best posts of the week" - Only Posts: to see no quotes/ reposts, only new posts from those you follow - FollowersLike: to discover random things your followers recently liked Turn on "Show Posts From My Feeds" in Settings > Following Feed Preferences. This will sprinkle random posts from your feeds into your main Home feed. Block often. Don't interact with trolls, don't quote dunk, comment, nothing. Let them rot in silence, take away their oxygen and they'll asphixiate. This is the Bsky way. Fuck content scrapers. Do not let that trash overwhelm this site, do not share their stolen content. You can block them all with two clicks by going to joabaldwin.com/scrapers and on the top-right clicking on Subscribe > Block Accounts (I know, "Subscribe" is an odd thing to name it, but that's how block lists work here). Use alt text to make images accessible. Helps for translations, readability, findability, and users with slow internet. Turn on Settings > Accessibility > Require alt text before posting Likes on reposts do not trigger notifications. If you only repost stuff, it might look super quiet even if people are liking what you repost. Mix in more regular posts or quotes! It takes time to rebuild, but the best time to do it is right now.
