Twitter shut down the search engine for non-members. I'm getting pretty good results on my niche searches on Bluesky. I may join Bluesky now. Give it a try-there's a lot more traffic than I anticipated. It will be great when all the Incels segregate themselves away from all the Babes on Bluesky

The first thing you need to do is upload a profile pic and add a little something to your bio - that way people won't think you're some nameless bot.

Second, follow some people because your main timeline will be filled with posts from those you follow, as opposed to an algorithm pushing posts from randos at you. To help you find people to follow, Bluesky has Starter Packs and here's a searchable directory:

Next, you can control the moderation of your feed. You'll find Moderation tools in your Settings.
