Okay, to help everyone make their BlueSky what they want it to be, here's a thread about feeds. What they are, how to find them, how to add them, how to pin them, what feeds to follow if you're a #writer, and how you can make your own 🥸 1/16

Every once in a while, I stop and remember how far I've come as an author since 2020. I'm proud of myself!

From my daughter's school schedule app, which I'm learning to decode. No more writing your class schedule in a pretty grid and decorating with stickers and sparkly markers!

If you are writing 2 books at once, do either of them ever get done??? I've never tried this before!

Someone told me that this app may seem very empty because of this default setting that requires replies to have 2 likes or more before they show up. Indeed! I changed it so that all replies show up, and suddenly the place seems much more lively. I highly recommend changing it in your settings.

Yes, I'm here at Bluesky! I'm an author! I don't know what I'm doing and who to follow! But I will be trying to dip my toe in if I can find my login details for the phone app (I signed up on laptop). Killing the blue bird decided me. I'm trying the pivot to here. Hellow!
