When to post

Best time to post on Bluesky

Bluesky’s following feed is chronological, so timing matters a lot: a post only gets seen by people who are scrolling around when it goes out. Weekday mornings and early evenings in US and European time are busy; if your audience is split, schedule the same idea twice in different words.

TallyReel starts every account from the same baseline, weekday peaks at 8 AM, 12 PM, 5 PM, 6 PM, weekend peaks at 10 AM, 11 AM, 7 PM, 8 PM, in your audience’s local time, and after about 20 published posts shifts it toward the hours that actually work for you.

Write it well

Bluesky posts that land

• Plain, human tone. Links render as cards; skip hashtag stacks.
• Plain, human writing does best; skip the hashtag stacks.
• An app password can’t change your account password or read your DMs, which is why we ask for one instead of your real password.
• 300 characters counts grapheme by grapheme, so a family emoji is one character, not seven.
