I’ve got a Bluesky account but never use it since barely anyone I know is on it, and I don’t really know how to find people to follow that are actually interesting to me.

Hope the below is helpful! 🙂

In a month-ish on bluesky I've ended up with a far better experience than ever I could find on twitter, and I sincerely think many folks not finding the same have probably not recognized how core feeds are to the experience. They more or less let you build your own algorithm.

Point 4 in the linked article discusses feeds.

In addition to other specific feeds you may add for yourself, I recommend the recent-ishly created "For You" feed which tracks what you seem interested in and tries to suggest based on that. (I removed the default "Discover" feed and replaced it with "For You.") I've subbed to about 10 or 12 feeds, but that's one of four I have pinned.

All in all my bluesky homepage is 99% things I actually want to see, and people I actually want to engage with, and there is plenty of it - despite my feed selections being intentionally niche.

There's also a browser extension called "Sky Follower Bridge" that will semi-automatically find where folks you follow on twitter have created bluesky accounts so you can just go down the list and follow them all. It's something to run every few days if you follow a lot of folks, as people continue to move over.

If there are very specific public figures you are waiting on to move over, no solution but patience there, and I have some of those too. However, I've been giving out my invitation codes to regular people who I want to see on Bluesky and that has worked out pretty well.

Good luck, and sorry for the unsolicited advice. :-)
