I've published v2.8.0 of the PSBluesky module to the #PowerShell Gallery. I haven't made it an official dependency, but I recommend also installing the pwshSpectreConsole module.

If you are a big #PowerShell fan and new to Bluesky, take a look at the PSBluesky module. Install from the PowerShell Gallery and then run Open-BskyHelp to launch a PDF help file. The module requires PS7, and works cross-platform. Please post cross-platform issues in the GitHub repo.
