Is there an interactive fiction fanbase on Bluesky?

Since everyone’s been going to Bluesky lately, I’ve been trying to find IF authors to follow, but I haven’t been able to find many who are active developers, especially compared to how many I could follow on Twitter. Is it just less popular there, or am I missing something?

I looked on Threads also. There’s not much there either that’s not political or engagement bait “What’s your favorite number and why is it 8?” :roll_eyes:

I get the idea that it’s (Threads) really isn’t a place where gamers assemble. I found more dedicated communities on Mastodon, though not sure how busy that place is either.

We need to recreate a community there. I hope we make it.

5 posts were split to a new topic: Political-ish posts removed from BlueSky topic

Found and followed you. I suspect more will leave.

I’m on there too. At the moment I’m posting more about academic history stuff. Though generally every week or so I will mention something IF connected, as I work on my latest game!

My posts (I still refuse to say skeets, sorry) aren’t always IF-related and are occasionally unhinged, but they’re here if you want 'em

I’ve been meaning to join, but I just haven’t gotten around to it. I am not a very attentive social media person, but I will post updates about things I’m working on and boost things that seem cool.

You know, this is a good idea – I never considered doing so on twitter, but stuff like updates and so forth seems worth it. It won’t be a game changer, but it’s just one more place to throw a signal out there.

Oh sweet, I just made a Bluesky today. Here’s a starterpack I made of all the IF folks I recognize on there.

Let me know if anyone wants to be added to the list!

This is nice, but goshdarnit, I still have my dead X links all over my social medias. Gotta edit the free Wix site ughhh.

I’m there too:

Wow, after seeing all these starter packs in the past few days. It’s cool to actually be in one. Thanks for organizing this!

(And giving me a small ego boost that helped me buck up and solve an annoying coding problem.)
