Started this on the train today and have struggled to put it down. Fungi...mysterious, useful, a little bit terrifying but also absolutely fascinating. Great book thoroughly recommended.

Lots of people joining Bluesky again! Welcome! Whether you just joined, or you created an account decades ago and are gonna start posting now, here are some tips to enhance the experience. Share widely for all newcomers 🦋

Tips for moving from Xitter to Bluesky
Before you start following people, fill out your profile! Bio, PFP, banner, and post at least 5 to 10 things. Just reuse your top 10 banger tweets—recycling is encouraged! This way, when people see you followed them and they check your profile, they’ll know what you are about and might follow back.
Turn off NSFW filters in Moderation > Content Filtering 
Find your friends using a tool like skeet.labnotes.org  or Sky Follower Bridge. Not perfect, but they’ll find the majority of the people you were following.
Turn on “show posts from my feeds” in Settings > Home Feed Preferences. This will add random posts from them to your main feed, but tweaked to your liking, no ads and BS. I recommend the Catch Up feed (kinda like a “best of”).
Tweak Reply Filters to something that works for you, also at Settings > Home Feed Preferences. This shows replies from people you follow to anyone else on your main feed... (ALT text too long, continues in comments)
