alright, here's my guide for streamers and viewers that are new to bluesky! these focus on topics more specific to content creators, and there many other "new user guides" that are more general posted on this site.

pleeeease reskeeeeeeet!!
Bluesky New User Guide for Streamers & Their Viewers Created by: @dnas.is 1. On the matter of user names When you join Bluesky, you may find your preferred username is taken. But that’s fine and probably for the best! You’ll want to change your username to a web domain you or your team own. This also works as Bluesky’s form of verification, ensuring that your account is actually yours. You can also use a subdomain maintained by your org. For example, VShojo uses @vshojo.com and Ironmouse uses @ironmouse.shojo.com. Viewer Tip: Some Bluesky folks buy domain names and let you sign up for a subdomain to use as your own. This allows you to have a username that might match your personal aesthetic. 2. On the matter of self-promotion and posting content Are you posting an image? USE ALT TEXT! Not only does alt text help make your images accessible to people who can’t see or load them, but the text itself is searchable! You’ll find many great alt text guides on Bluesky. Video posts are currently limited to 60 seconds, in case you’re interesting in posting clips from your streams. The video content experience on Bluesky is still fairly new and don’t assume it works like TikTok, Reels, etc. On Bluesky you don’t need to censor your words (“d*e”, “unalive”) because there isn’t an algorithm to punish you for that. On Bluesky you can and should post your content links directly (stream link, adult fanpages, etc.) and you don’t need to post in a separate reply. On Bluesky you do need to mark adult and graphic content appropriately. 3. On the matter of safety First things first: there are currently no private accounts on Bluesky, and likely won’t be for some time. You can however, prevent your content from being seen without logging in by going to Settings > Basics > Moderation and checking the Logged-out Visibility setting, if you so desire. Moderation is important for controlling what content you want to see. You can outright hide adult and suggestive content, making browsing your Bluesky feeds more safe for stream. You can also drill down into the Bluesky Moderation Service labeler and fine-tune your options for different types of content. This is also where you’ll manage other labelers you’ve subscribed to. Tip: Labelers are a great advanced feature for both safety and discovery. You can subscribe to labelers that mark accounts as transphobic/misogynist, generative AI, crypto, and other stuff you don’t want to see. But there are positive labelers that let you add pronouns, time zones, and other tags to your profile. Streamers will definitely want to check out the Content Creator Labeler service. On Bluesky, blocks are considered “nuclear.” When you block someone they generally disappear for you and you disappear for them. Plus, their replies to and quotes of you disappear for not only you, but your followers as well, helping to clean up your threads of harmful accounts. (You can also turn off replies and quotes on your posts if needed.) You’ll also want to check out moderation lists, which let you mute or block an easily sharable list of accounts. For streamers, it’s highly recommended to have someone on your team manage a moderation list for you so you don’t have to configure it yourself directly once subscribed.
