One of the reasons Bluesky is seeing more engagement: other platforms have adopted the behaviour of de-prioritising external links (like, say, to research papers) due to Ad models.

Here links can be freely shared without being drowned out or de-emphasized

There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.

A Place of Joy.

Agree. I usually get good value out of reviewers comments, especially from top specialist journals (Systematic Biology, Molecular Biology and Evolution, PLoS Comp Bio etc).

Sacred Kingfisher in NZ behaves similarly :) One of my favourite birds. I was very happy to spot a Belted Kingfisher when I was visiting Colorado earlier this year.
