What can you tell me about Bluesky? (beehaw.org)

I just received my invite code today and took a quick look around the app. Like Mastodon I do not prefer microblogging platforms. And that's all I know about Bluesky.

So, what can you tell me about this project?

I'd love to try it, if they'd ever give me an invite code. Twitter was pretty cool back in the day and I'd like something similar as a place to post what I'm working on.

Since you are already hanging out here, why not give Mastodon a fair try :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Every Mastodon client I have tried to use is way too confusing. There are plenty of people using it, but it feels like a wasteland because connecting with people is too high friction. Maybe I'm using it wrong /:

@vanderbilt try out Kbin, it integrates communities and microblogging under one web interface. Makes it easy to access Mastodon posts as well as threads like this one on Lemmy or native to Kbin. I am on Kbin.Run, which is pretty well run but less populated than kbin.social

Android or iOS?

iOS

I hear good things about the Mona app on iOS. Also consider the official app. On Android, the official app is good but is active in an enhanced version called Megalodon, which is what I use. All those I listed should be user friendly.

If this one happens to be taken (I don't think so, lemmy isn't that big) I'll DM you.

Send them by DM, codes posted in public are scanned by bots which try to snipe them

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Will leave it for @[email protected] :D I have taken first one

[–] win95 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Cool :) might take a while until you receive your own invites. Took me 3 weeks. It's still kinda quiet but most of the people I had in my community on Twitter dropped mastodon for bluesky so I am sticking with it I guess.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

To be true I'm admin of mastodon instance though not using that much :D
