What the plan is based on
Bluesky's Following feed shows posts from the people you follow in the order they went out. There is no ranking that saves a post for later. If your followers are asleep when you post, many of them never scroll back far enough to see it.
That makes the time count more on Bluesky than on most platforms. The planner's rules give the morning before work, lunch and the evening the most weight, with a later morning at the weekend.
Custom feeds can show your post later or to people who do not follow you, but your followers' Following feed is still where most posts are read first.
Find where your followers live
Bluesky does not show where your followers live. Start with what you know:
- Your own city, if most of your followers are local.
- The places your followers mention in their profiles, if you have a few hundred.
- Where your followers on other platforms live. Many people follow the same accounts on several apps.
Type up to five places into the planner with their share.
Use the plan
- Post at the times in the plan for two weeks.
- Compare the likes, reposts and replies of each post. Keep the times that beat your usual.
- Repost your best post later the same day at another good hour. In a feed in time order, a second time reaches the people who missed it.
FAQ
What is the best time to post on Bluesky?
For most accounts, the morning before work and the evening on your followers' clock, with lunch next. Add where your followers live above to see those hours on your own clock.
Why does timing matter more on Bluesky?
Because the Following feed shows posts in time order. A post goes down the feed as new ones come in, so it is seen most while your followers are awake and scrolling.
Does Bluesky have analytics?
Bluesky shows the likes, reposts and replies on each post. It does not show where your followers live, which is why you type the places yourself.
Does the planner save what I type?
No. It runs in your browser, and nothing is sent to Postfjord or saved.
