How to Gain Followers on Bluesky: My Automated Approach with Agent Sky

Have you ever felt like you’re shouting into the void when you post on Bluesky—hoping for new followers, but only hearing the echo of your own voice? Trust me, I’ve been there. It’s frustrating to see an amazing platform brimming with opportunities, yet wonder how to actually get your content in front of more people. That’s exactly why I started looking into automation, and ultimately, why I created Agent Sky. Here’s my story of how I grew my Bluesky following and how you can do it too.

Why I Turned to Automation

When Bluesky first launched, I loved the community feel and the open conversations. But building that initial audience took more time than I ever anticipated. After juggling manual follow-backs, daily content creation, and trying to engage with every comment, I knew there had to be a better way.

Enter Agent Sky—my very own automated solution that helps people just like you build a strong, engaged following on Bluesky. (Yes, you still have to show up with great content, but automation takes a lot of the grunt work out of discovery and engagement!)

How Agent Sky Works

Instead of randomly following or liking posts (which can feel spammy and unproductive), Agent Sky is designed to:

  1. Identify Engaged Users: It zeroes in on people who interact with similar profiles, meaning they’re more likely to be interested in your content too.
  2. Automate Follow-Backs: Agent Sky can follow accounts that match your interests and automatically unfollow inactive accounts.
  3. Pinpoint Relevant Hashtags: Searching by keywords and tags (like #BlueskyTips, #BlueskyCommunity) helps you find real discussions to join—so you don’t waste time in the wrong circles.
  4. Streamline Onboarding: The platform is intuitive, so you’ll spend less time fiddling with settings and more time focusing on your Bluesky presence.

Picture it like a personal assistant who scours Bluesky for your ideal audience—while you focus on creating great content. Automation, when done right, means more time for the human side of social media (i.e., chatting with followers, brainstorming content ideas, or even stepping away from the screen once in a while!).

My Day-to-Day Bluesky Workflow

Morning Check-In (10 minutes).
I hop on Bluesky to see if there’s any fresh conversation happening around my interests. If I find someone new sharing insights on topics I care about, I’ll leave a quick comment—maybe even drop a like or a repost to get the conversation flowing.

Agent Sky Report (5 minutes).
I open my Agent Sky dashboard to skim the daily report. It shows me how many new connections were made overnight, how many inactive accounts got the boot, and any trending keywords that popped up. With just a few clicks, I can tweak my settings for that day—like focusing on certain hashtags or adjusting follow-back parameters.

Engagement Burst (15 minutes).
This is when I go deeper into relevant conversations Agent Sky flags for me. If there’s a lively thread about Bluesky growth hacks, I’ll dive in, offer my two cents, and maybe even link a related post I’ve written. This targeted approach not only grows my network but builds genuine, meaningful rapport with other users.

Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them

  1. Relying Solely on Automation

    • If you let the bot do everything, your interactions might feel robotic. Agent Sky helps you discover people, but it’s your job to connect with them authentically.

  2. Spamming or Over-Following

    • Quality over quantity! Be strategic with who you follow. That’s what Agent Sky’s filters are for—use them wisely.

  3. Ignoring Your Own Content Quality

    • Even the best automation tool can’t compensate for lackluster posts. Make sure you’re adding value by sharing tips, stories, or interesting insights that resonate with your audience.
