How have you gone about making friends on the platform? I checked it out, but found it a bit isolating. Surely that’s on me rather than the platform, so I’d like to hear of your experience.
I started following back everyone who followed me. and a crucial point of Bluesky is that you have to interact, otherwise no one knows you exist, they won’t start interacting with you out of nowhere. Enter other people’s conversations without fear (but with respect, of course) this helped me a lot to fit in. Looking for people with similar tastes is also a good tip, I talk a lot about football and video games.
Thanks, I’ll keep all that in mind. It’s something I’m hoping to get out of the Fediverse too. I just need to push myself to be more active, rather than just passively consuming.
