See what you want. Bluesky has no single algorithm that determines the type of posts you see. Instead, after signing up, you choose subjects that interest you, such as culture, food, movies, news, pets or sports.

Exclude what you don’t want. You can choose to hide sexually suggestive or graphic material, or set warnings before such posts appear. The same for posts that spread misinformation or propagate scams.

Find friends. Bluesky works like other social media platforms in letting you connect with your friends or follow people or organizations. You can read and like their posts and write comments. —Edward C. Baig
