Connect Bluesky with an app password

Bluesky is the one connection that doesn't use a redirect. You'll paste two things: your handle, and an app password.

1. 1
   Handle

   The full handle, like you.bsky.social. A custom domain handle works too.

2. 2
   App password

   Four groups of four characters. Paste it as Bluesky gives it to you, hyphens included.

3. 3
   PDS URL — leave it alone

   It sits under Advanced and only matters if you self-host your Bluesky data. On a normal account, changing it will break the connection.

Writing the post

Bluesky allows 300 characters and up to 4 images. Longer thoughts go in a chain — Add to thread posts each segment as a reply to the one before it.

Labels and languages

• Content labels — Adult, Sexual, Nudity or Graphic. Applying one puts the post behind a warning for people whose moderation settings ask for it. Labelling honestly is what keeps a post visible instead of getting the account actioned.
• Languages — up to three BCP-47 tags, like en or pt-BR. It tells Bluesky's feeds who to show the post to. Optional.
