Look who signed up! Joined Bluesky a month ago

It feels like I keep getting the same things in my feed, all the time. I talk embroidery once and then I drown in embroidery. I like a comic, and then it's only comics. And some times it's the same picture reposted or taken by many people that keeps coming back.

I'm very happy to switch from Twitter but I feel it's a bit unbalanced for now.

Any tips ? (@jiminou.bsky.social - I like dark humour, board/video games, men and politics, in this particular order)

Are you using the Discover feed here? I’ve never found that thing to be useful.

I’d suggest defaulting to Following to show posts in reverse chronological order, then subscribe to feeds tailored to your interests. I leave the option to have posts from feeds show up in my following timeline, gives a nice variety of posts that I specified I’d like to see rather than allowing some nebulous algorithm to choose for me.

Okay, thanks for the insight, I indeed use the Discover feed way more but I guess it makes sense

Following also feeds you stuff from people you are following (the stuff they like or repost)…I believe…don’t does cast a net slightly larger than just the posts of those you follow.
