![How I found my crowd on BlueSky
*not about followers
#1 Look, it's me!
• Upload an avatar
[drawing of avatar blob-person, underneath it says: It's me | I make arts]
• fill out the bio. Make sure you mention what you do if you're looking for peers/fellow travelers
•Make an intro post (so folks can see more of who you are)
#2 SEARCH (a little)
[drawing of magnifying glass]
• Find folks you know from other places (you only need to find a few, BECAUSE...)
• Look at the follows/followers of folks you know! Just like in real life, they probably know other folks you do.
#ENGAGE
[drawing of two faces sharing a heart in a thought bubble]
• Post stuff that has something to do w/the people you want to connect with
• Comment on posts. On here replies are out front, other people see these and can find you!
TIP: set your replies to 0 in Home Feed setting to see more replies
NOTE: Comment sincerely and positively, not just to be seen. Avoid sarcasm and irony because they can come off as shitty.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:n5f7w4v7l65vjfaljp4727ng/bafkreigwprv4hkvrnmdrttp6lq2v7swqek3jbt6v2ng4co5om7us6wi6ta)
![#4 FIND YOUR FEEDS!
[drawing of blob-person yelling "it's all about feeds!"]
• Find/follow feeds that collect what you're interested in...
[Liked by 200 users 9with curser arrow pointed at it)]
• Look at "liked by" to find folks to follow...
[drawing of blob-person w/ hand to chin, saying "hmmmm"]
• Inspect the feed to discover terms the feed uses to select posts (some feeds tell you)
• Use these terms when posting about the thing (kinda like a #) so more people can find you.
TIP: there's no algorithm here, so you can repost your own post without being penalized. You can also repost old posts, it's fine! You don't need to be a "content" machine
