If bluesky seems a bit "dead" to you, check in your feed settings that you don't have the minimum likes turned up to see replies. If you have that on, you're going to be missing the most recent comments that haven't accrued likes yet

Oh, see I think I turned it off because I was seeing people replying to people I don't follow, which was one of my chief complaints about Twitter. Ideally I want to see what people I follow are saying and not others unless they're RTed (or whatever we're calling that).

Sorry, I am seeing people respond to you rudely here. I appreciate your suggestions; I'm just trying to navigate my way through this familiar-but-different site.

THIS! 👆 My feed definitely seemed too quiet till I changed that, and corrected my "Moderation" settings that had gone back to default.

Don't forget to crank it up again when you start drowning in your TL.

Such a good tip! They really should put default to show all

Yeah I've sent a feedback message. Please feel free to do the same if you get a chance

Aha, I did have to change that! It was automatically set to only show replies with two or more likes! Fixed it. Annnd I was going to include a screenshot, but that makes the Reply button disappear above the top of the screen, so I can't finalize the post. Hm.

I fixed the reply issue by zooming out until the reply button was in view.
Avatar
Hm. I'm on desktop, and can only appear to zoom in.
Avatar
Huh, that's weird. I'm on my laptop and I can zoom in and out.

It’s in the settings in the upper left with the 3 horizontal lines. (why are there two ‘settings’??)

Thanks for that, I didn't even realize it was set to 2 likes only.

Thank you for this. I don't know why it's set to 2 by default.

Oooo, I didn't notice those settings!

I change mine to 0 and it keeps resetting itself back to the default 2.
Avatar
I think you have to do it for both the web app and the phone app!
Avatar
Thanks, totally didn’t know about this!
Avatar
Mine was set to 2 on default. If everyone is set to 2 how the heck will anyone get any likes??

Oh, hey Jess! Nice to see you here!

That was very useful, thanks!

Shocking that this is a setting
Avatar
I'm glad, anything that lets people control their experience is good!

Fair. I'm shocked that the default is 2 likes

Had no idea that was a thing. Thank you!
