Are you viewing the Discover tab? My posts and comments have a similar response ratio but most of the posts I view have more interaction than what you're describing here.
I've preferred it to Mastodon so far. Way too many abilities to it; BlueSky is just Twitter but open and not much more, which really, is all I want anyways.
This does not match my experience. I’m following several active posters — with thousands of followers — who post several times a day. Most of the posts I see get plenty of engagement.
The demographics of the folks I follow tend towards the left of center. There are a large number of authors (eg Neil Gaiman) who are very active. There are is also a very pleasant lack of Nazis and white-supremacists.
"Starting today, you can easily view Bluesky posts without being logged in. Sharing will be more convenient — whether it's a joke you want to text a friend, or a post you want to embed in an article."
i'm really disappointed with the twitter alternatives. i thought one might feel like early twitter before the culture war takeover, but bsky and mastodon are just left wing hugbox versions of the same thing. threads is nothing but brands, E-list "celebrities" and "influencers" out for a buck. i've even gotten desperate enough to try substack notes, but it's just a tacked-on halfass feature. is there really no choice but to fight the hackernews ui to find technical discussions on interesting topics?
Most posts I found had 0 comments, 0 reposts and at most 1-digit likes.
For a social network, it might have all the technology and protocol-work in place, but to me it seems to be failing pretty hard on the social bit?
Am I missing something? Are there certain topics, demographics or high-profile “influencers” thriving here?
Anyone here using bluesky and thinking it’s working out nicely?
