1. Use a service like Bluesky Follower Bridge to map over your followings from Twitter to Bluesky (it's not perfect so you need to check each follow to make sure it didn't grab the wrong person)
2. Seed your account with "Starter Packs" that bulk follow users with specific niches. You can search for these on bsky. Like there's one for C++ developers, a bunch for artists, some for journalists for specific niches, etc.
3. Customise the bluesky moderation service labeller.
4. Subscribe to some additional labellers.
- A major one is https://bsky.app/profile/skywatch.blue https://bsky.app/profile/skywatch.blue. The account also has a number of moderation lists you can use to auto-hide or auto-block problematic accounts.
- If you care about US politics this labeller is useful: https://bsky.app/profile/us-gov-funding.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/us-gov-funding.bsky.social
5. Adjust your moderation and threading settings. Try out the new threaded replies mode. Try changing the reply ordering settings.
6. When you use the "Discover" tab, click the triple dots (...) on a post and click "Show more like this" and "Show less like this" to tune the algorithm for the discover tab. It starts out really bland/boring/random but it tunes in pretty quickly if you work with it.
7. Browse the Feeds tab to find custom feeds you like for specific niches. Add those to your home page so you can switch to them easily. These feeds will be generally a lot more focused than your main feeds but they are super useful for only seeing specific content you care about.
