Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪
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.

Let’s start a Baja Blast happy hour. First of every month - today can run through the 2nd.

Cocktail and mocktail recipes + photos welcome 🚀
Inspired by @aoc.bsky.social’s Baja Blast Libre, I present the Baja Melon Sour. 1.5 oz vodka, 1 oz Midori, fill with Baja Blast.

It’s the sort of thing I would have ordered a pitcher of at Hemingway’s Cafe in PGH while I was in grad school and regretted the next morning.

We want Bluesky to be a great home for journalists, publishers, and creators. Unlike other platforms, we don't de-promote your links. Post all the links you want — Bluesky is a lobby to the open web.
Traffic from Bluesky's @bsky.app to @theguardian.com is already 2x that of Threads

In its first week on the platform & with 300k followers, Bluesky traffic from @theguardian.com posts is already higher than it was from TwX in any week in 2024, where the account had 10.8m followers, but🧵

I feel like videogames actually do provide a pretty accurate representation of real life right now because a lot of videogames are like “THE WORLD IS ENDING” and then you just collect herbs and pretend nothing is wrong

They were all in the same year (1998) and i don't remember which one i saw first, but it was either Pokemon, Dragon Ball Z, or Sailor Moon. Which is super typical of my age group 🤣

I made a thing!

I was playing around with the AT protocol and as a little experiment I made a website that visualises activity around Bluesky: nightsky.hctr.dev

It listens to all new posts and shows them as little stars across a night sky 🌃

Every star is someone, somewhere, posting something
Nightsky | hctr.dev
See live conversations from all over Bluesky as a dynamic night sky

🦋 WELCOME TO BLUESKY! I recommend exploring our custom feeds, which are a little like hashtags but more interesting. We have them for academic and professional subjects, sports, cities, hobbies (e.g., gardening, baking), and many more. Search them in the sidebar under Feeds. 🧵

The fact Lil Jon, East Side Boyz & the Ying Yang twins have been politically relevant in more ways than one this year from a song talking bout skeeting from windows to walls, & sweat droppin’ on balls.

That is CULTURE!
