Interesting little interaction comparison.
Given I have about 16 times the followers on Twitter than here, the level of engagement is much higher here, even if the total numbers are not.

@ournewhomecoach.bsky.social Is this spider big enough to play too? 😉
It's one of my favourite photos. I took it after I moved the spider from the garage to the back shed.

Important 🧵on our new peer-reviewed paper:
The pandemic is as bad as it ever was for babies - in year to Aug 2023, 6,300 babies under 1 were admitted to hospital wholly or partly BECAUSE of Covid.
They are ONLY age group where admissions have NOT gone down over time 1/17

There is an Oz sector developing on Bluesky--as happened on Twitter--that hasn’t happened at all on Threads.
Doesn't feel like local (Australian) voices are being drowned out as they are on Threads (or even on Substack's Notes).

It really is amazing that we spent more than a year begging Meta to simply allow political content to be seen on Threads, and yet they’re so hostile to their own audience that Bluesky is looking like it’s going to lap Threads.

as an experiment, I posted the same post to twitter and bluesky.
here is the time series of engagements (sum of comments, reposts, likes) from the two platforms.
Note that I have 39K followers on twitter and 7K here, so engagement per follower here is more than 10 times higher here on bluesky.
