I made an account yesterday to see how it is, however, I never used Twitter and so I don’t really understand how BlueSky works (since it suppose to be the same as Twitter?).

I followed 8 people and a couple of “#” but I barely see a thing of the people, I follow.

You can also search for "starter packs" of helpful people to follow in whatever you are interested in, e.g., history, cooking, overthrowing the government, etc.

On Web and official app(android) there are two pages Discover and Following, by default you will be on "Discover" page. To see post from people you followed, you need to switch to the following page.

Same boat my friend. Never ever had a xitter account but I made a Bluesky account last week to check things out. My husband deleted his Twitter account quite a while back and has been sorely missing seeing people he followed. I tried getting him here but he really doesn't understand the whole set up. So I'm trying to convince him to join Bluesky. I have no idea what I'm doing over there but the folks there are much like we were here in the beginning in that everyone is helping each other learn. I do think that the platform will serve as a good bridge to get people learning about Federated platforms. We all have to start somewhere.
