Sorry followers, but I can't seem to be able to consolidate the two bsky accounts that carry my name.

I am posting, when I do, on the other one: @joelobianco.bsky.social and not here.

If you are interested, not that I am very active, you might want to 'transfer' over there.

It seems I have 2 bluesky accounts, this one here & the one I prefer @joelobianco.bsky.social I'd like to consolidate them and only use the latter, so all followers & all those I follow (+ all messages) are there. I've asked blue sky for help.

My apologies, I don't know how it happened.

Hello cielo azzurro, eccomi qui, but as yet I have not a single follower, bot or warm blooded person. You could change this sad state of affairs.
