Incorrect. My bluesky feeds are lively af, it doesn’t work the same way twitter works. Spend more time looking around on there, maybe find some reading material on how to make bluesky engaging for you? It did take me a few days to figure the app out.
Comment on Bluesky sees record signups day after Musk says X will go paid-only

Record sign-ups my ass. I just joined today. Sites dead. Dorsey doesn't even have an account there anymore.

Same. Mine's too lively, but it is fairly heavily skewed towards some specific interests.
I check maybe once a day, but I can't keep up with all that's going on there.

I haven’t been on long but it’s definitely active.
BarrierWithAshes@kbin.social 1 year ago
I guess I gotta find more people. I'll keep posting and see if anything changes.

Check out the feeds section, do some searches for your interests and add those feeds. I also lucked out by finding bluesky’s version of “black twitter” fairly quickly.

Care to share an invite?

Weird I signed up to be notified whenever it went active and have never received an invite.
geosoco@kbin.social 1 year ago
I signed up ages ago too, but I don't think they ever sent them out like that. I got an invite from someone else.
willya@lemmyf.uk 1 year ago
Oh well sounds like I’m not missing much.
geosoco@kbin.social 1 year ago
Depends on your interests, my feed is too active. It's a lot of shitposting, some academics, journalists, and some just very online people.
A lot of very prolific folks from Twitter moved there.

They do send out invites to the waiting list but it definitely don’t represent the majority of invites being sent out
ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 1 year ago
They did early on. I got one that way when it was mostly developers and the app was basically a super early beta.
It seems like that slowed down when they realized the invite tree is a really good moderation tool. Like if they catch a spammer or CSAM pervert or whatever, they can see who invited them and nip that shit in the bud.
Also, they recently passed 1 million users and the developers said they’ll have to make some backend changes to handle 10 million users. So, they apparently really do need to manage growth and can’t just open it up.

Jack Dorsey had an account but he got run off for being an anti-vaccine crypto dork. People just mocked him so he left and went to Nostr where his crowd hangs out. (He’s a significant investor in all of the for-profit ones, including Twitter. He doesn’t run any of them day-to-day, though, so there’s not really any reason for him to be on BlueSky socially.)

Lmao I thought it was cause he got bullied by the 196-crowd but that's equally funny. I always figured him to be the Bluesky main guy so it's kinda weird he isnt active on his own site.
