Sorry to have to ask this, but if you can see me, please say hi. Something seems terribly amiss with the quasi-algorithm or how traffic is being steered to verified accounts.

Thank you, Erin. I hope you have a wonderful day!
See ya. Hope everything checks out.
Hi, Mary. I hope you're enjoying your evening.
Ready to enjoy now. Running the highways all day. When grandchildren are university age, but moms and dads have other responsibilities. I love being retired. LOL! Enjoy your evening too.
Thank you for standing with Ukraine 🇺🇦 ❤️ 🙏
Always!
Where are you supporting from?
I can see you.

Hello from Kingston

Good evening, Jakob. P.S. Go the Crows! lol
Hi! 👋🏻 as an indie author I'm always having a hard time with algorithms 😖
Check check 1 2 3. Is this thing on?
I'm reading you five-by-five :)
👋👋
Good day!
Yes, I've noticed a downward spiral in likes and shares. I wondered if the algorithm doesn't like to promote me because I deactivate my account sometimes.
It's hard to know what's happening, but I do know that I've followed you for support.
See you now
Hi, Colleen. Here's hoping you have a lovely day!
You too! And Thank you 😊
Hi
Good morning, Matt. Always good to see you.
Cheers! Hopefully you dont have the fire smoke from down here!
Are you trying to verify?
Not sure how that can be done when you employ a pen name. I had previously changed my handle to reflect my website, which was said to be as close to verification as was possible at the time.
And they wouldn’t verify based on your web site? Did they ask for an ID? I’m not sure why a pen name here would be a big deal.
Apparently not. Verification seems as much a popularity contest than anything. Get enough followers, you will be verified.
Ah, capitalism. 😂
Hiya Edge! *waves*
Hey, Sue.
Ditto, algorithm seems a bit off kilter at mo!
Fingers crossed they sort it out. Until then, and hereafter, you have my follow, Derek.
Hi
Good day, my Canadian brother.
Sister.
Ooops, sorry. lol. I saw your handle and saw Mike. Truly sorry, Sister :)
No worries.
See you!
Good afternoon, Carole. ❤️
Seems to work 😊
G’Day from da Rock!
Hi Pauline. Smoke abating there?
It was heavy here this am but not bad now. How is it over there?
Very little
Hello!
Hello, VV!💙❤️
Hi there. Yeah, it's odd what is going on. Small account here and even I am seeing less and less of people I normally interact with and frequently see the same grouping of posts ad nauseam as if there is absolutely no new posts/content.
It's peculiar. Regardless, I appreciate you reaching out.
Hi!
Good morning, Janis!
👋
Hi, Cath. I hope you are enjoying your day.
👋
Good to see you, Thomas.
I see you sir! Your content shows up for me daily.
Super. That's far better than incontinence showing up weekly.
You've found a backdoor into everyone's discover feed!
Hey

Hello, EE

I can see you.
Hi, I see you.
Thank you, Colette.
Hi! I have you in a list, so maybe I wouldn't notice.
Also, may I add you to my List, Word Wizards and Cool Creatives?
Yes, that's definitely fine by me!
Really appreciate that, James.
No problem, Erin!
I see you. Hullo.
Thanks for connecting :)
Hi 👋
Good afternoon/evening, or is it "afting"?
Afternoon! In Montreal!
Just into evening here :)

Hello, Creative One 💚

Good afternoon! 💙
They said they weren't going to control what you see with an algorithm, which was obvious nonsense. Now we can see not only is there one, it's crap. Even worse, it's actually worse than facebook, as it shows you more OF WHAT YOU BLOCK. At least that's what it's doing to me.
The default Following feed is a reverse-chronological list of every post made by people you follow. The only manipulation there is filtering out posts that contain words you have muted, or posts by accounts you have muted/blocked. The Discover feed *is* algorithmic, but optional & replaceable.
The Discover feed is the one that matters since it's the one that comes up when you load Bsky.
Since when?
Since always, literally every single time I load bsky.app
This is verifiably untrue; both the website and app default to the last feed you had open.
I have left it on the other feed and opened it to find that feed, so maybe it's supposed to work that way, but Bsky is buggy AF so no surprise when it doesn't.
Hi! 👋
Good day, Pamma. 🍁💕
Following you and seeing you.
Hi. I agree. Bluesky has changed; for the worse.
👋
Good day!
Salutations! And fie on the 'Sky for going the way of the bluebird's carcass.
🍁💕respect
👋
hi
Howdy!
Good day!
Looks like we have a lot of interests in common. Hope you get the algorithm thing sorted out (although I didn't think there was one on the regular feed).
Certainly, we do. I'm honoured by your connection.
Allo! 🤗
🐾🐾!
Hello 🦗:)
High!
Good evening, Eric.
(waves) Hi from Ottawa!
Hi, Sylvie. 💚
Hi
Hello, Aden :)
I think the algo is getting bumpy because so many new accounts and posts mean if you are looking at the wrong option ie discover instead of followers there’s a longer scroll between your most recent post and the rest than there once was. I’m not sure if hashtags will help but may be worth a shot🤷♀️
helloooooo.. is this thing on
Hi, dear friend :)
good morning!
Hiya!
‘Sup bro?
Not much; surviving.
Beats the alternative, or so I’m told.
I saw your other post too.
Much appreciated, Margaret.
Hello
Hi, Nona. Now following for support :)
👋🏽
Howdy!
Just seeing your message now. Bluesky is my only social, so I have no comparison, but I do notice weirdly erratic lag times.
Good morning. I hope this note finds you in good spirits.
Hi!
Hello, Scintillating Cecile.

I’m drinking vodka, seal blubber and orange flavored instant breakfast drink. I call it a HarpoonTang
😂Works for me!
Hi
Hello, Lisa :)
Hi
Hello, Martin!
I see you. But it pisses me off that we even have to care about algorithms and how they impact our lives. Just saying.
You're right
👋
Thank you!
I can see you.... through the window. Watching every move you make, every step you take, I'll be watching you.... (think I got the lyrics right)
🤣 Oh, that Stings!
I see what you did there. I couldn't remember who wrote that until I read your reply....
Hi Edge.
Good day, buddy.
👋
Good morning, JB. 💕🍁💯
I see you.
