This is good guide for getting going on here. Your feed will definitely be dead if you aren’t following lots of accounts who actually post. I’d add that if you want interaction, you need to interact.
If you’re new on Bluesky, you need to follow a LOT of people.

The more people who follow me, the less I am able to reply to everyone.

Please follow some folks who have the bandwidth to chat more.

Here are some tips I put together for the first big wave of new people in November.
