Bluesky

This page is for users connecting a Bluesky account.

Bluesky is the simplest provider to enable.

What you need

  • A Bluesky account handle
  • A Bluesky app password

Setup

  1. In Bluesky, open Settings.
  2. Create an app password.
  3. Connect the account in OpenPost using the handle and app password.

Analytics

OpenPost collects follower, following, and post totals plus published-post likes, replies, reposts, and quotes. These counters come from Bluesky's public AppView endpoints and do not require another account permission.

Comments and inbox

OpenPost can list replies, send replies, and delete replies posted by the connected account. You can also turn on inbox collection for Bluesky chat. Chat needs an app-password connection.

Notes

  • No server-side OAuth app is required.
  • OpenPost publishes images through app.bsky.embed.images and videos through app.bsky.embed.video.
  • Bluesky video support is limited to one video attachment per post in OpenPost.
