Every once in a while, I stop and remember how far I've come as an author since 2020. I'm proud of myself!

I love this, and am very much thinking of cheating on what I'm supposed to be doing.

Someone told me that this app may seem very empty because of this default setting that requires replies to have 2 likes or more before they show up.

Indeed! I changed it so that all replies show up, and suddenly the place seems much more lively. I highly recommend changing it in your settings.

Yes, I'm here at Bluesky! I'm an author! I don't know what I'm doing and who to follow! But I will be trying to dip my toe in if I can find my login details for the phone app (I signed up on laptop). Killing the blue bird decided me. I'm trying the pivot to here. Hellow!
