Post on Bluesky

Since its launch, I’ve been using Bluesky as an alternative to traditional social media platforms. It offers a fresh approach with its decentralized structure, giving users more control over their content and how they engage with others.

Unlike algorithm-driven networks, Bluesky feels more organic — there’s no cluttered timeline, no aggressive ad targeting, just a straightforward place to share thoughts and connect with people.

The experience has been smooth, with a clean and minimalistic interface that makes posting effortless.

However, if you’re new to Bluesky, you might need a quick guide on how to share posts properly.

How to Post on Bluesky

Sharing a post on Bluesky is straightforward, and if you’re familiar with other social media platforms, the process will feel familiar.

Here’s how to do it step by step:

Step-by-Step Guide to Posting on Bluesky

1. Log into Bluesky — Open the Bluesky app or visit the website and sign in to your account.

2. Start a New Post — Click on the ‘New Post’ button to begin composing your content.

Ensure everything looks right before publishing.

5. Click ‘Post’ — Once you’re satisfied, hit the ‘Post’ button to share your content with your followers.

That’s all it takes to share a post on Bluesky.

However, while the platform provides a refreshing experience, it still has some limitations — one of them being the inability to schedule posts in advance.

The Limitations of Bluesky Posting

Although Bluesky makes posting simple, I quickly realized that it lacks certain features that I’ve come to rely on — especially scheduling posts.

Without a scheduling option, I had to manually post every time, which wasn’t always convenient. Posting at the right time matters, especially when trying to reach a larger audience.

This is where Circleboom Publish comes in.
