How to Schedule Bluesky Posts in a Few Simple Steps [2025]

Social media evolves faster than most creators can keep up.

Platforms change, trends come and go, and users constantly migrate.

Bluesky is the latest frontier for content creators eager to expand their digital footprint.

If you're serious about building your online presence, now is the perfect time to make the most of Bluesky's early days.

But here’s the thing—most people post without a clear strategy. You don’t want to do that.

The right scheduling technique can make a world of difference, boosting your post visibility and engagement.

So, let's see how you can start scheduling your Bluesky posts...

What is Bluesky

Bluesky is a decentralized microblogging social media platform that allows users to share text-only posts, images, and videos, similar to Twitter/X. Actually, It was founded by the former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey in 2019.

What sets Bluesky apart from other social media platforms is the ability to use custom domain names as handles for self-verification. Also, Bluesky is a decentralized platform that operates across multiple independently managed servers rather than relying on a single central server. This structure gives users greater control over their data and interactions, as no single entity has overarching authority over the entire network.

Bluesky's user base surged from approximately 14 million to nearly 21 million within two weeks as users sought alternatives to Twitter/X. This rapid growth demonstrates that Bluesky is not just a fleeting trend but a solid social media platform.

Does scheduling Bluesky posts negatively impact engagement?
