A few months ago, Sky Follower Bridge was not all that useful. Today, I found over 125 new people from my old Twitter [sic] list. Pro tip: You can also use it on other people’s follower lists! skyfollowerbridge.com

If you’re new here from the charity sector, welcome. Here’s a list of fundraiser and fundraising-related accounts that I follow or rate and that might help you find your feet, especially if you are a fundraiser. go.bsky.app/VJRkzvM

@howardlake.bsky.social Great work on the packs! Please could I be added to the agency and trustee packs? 🙌

New to @bsky.app? We’ve got some etiquette just for you! Turn on the little feature that reminds you to post alt text with your images. Alt text allows blind and partially sighted people to understand what's in your images using screen readers. Without alt text, it just says "image".

Watched a great breakdown of how 2024 was the ‘Podcast Election.’ Trump leaned into long-form shows like Rogan’s, connecting with audiences in unfiltered ways. It's worth a watch if you’re into how political reach is shifting to online first, long-form content. https://youtu.be/ZOJI9Rw-EZ0

To grow sustainably, we’re working on a subscription model for premium features like higher-quality video uploads and profile customizations (think colors and avatar frames), but Bluesky will always be free to use. We believe information and conversation should stay accessible to everyone.
