Bluesky is fast emerging as one of the major contenders in the race for the top Twitter (X) alternative — and with good reason.
The new platform is easy to use, it offers a high degree of control over your timeline, and — thankfully, given X recently axed the feature — headlines still pull through with links.
Bluesky, which was created by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, is a decentralized, invite-only social network built on an open-source protocol. People are flooding to the platform — it hit 1 million users in September 2023. And what with Pebble/T2, another Twitter alternative, closing shop, Bluesky may soon see another spike in popularity.
It makes sense that users are looking to add it to their social media management system — and that having Bluesky as a channel in Buffer is a highly requested feature! Rest assured, we are working on it. You can keep up to date with our progress on that front in our transparent feature request system, Buffer Suggestions.
In the meantime, Buffer CEO Joel Gascoigne and Staff Product Manager Brandon Green have been playing around with a pretty nifty iOS app, Shortcuts, and came up with a really simple workaround.
Not only does it cross-post content from another platform to Bluesky (really handy if you’re maintaining a presence on X), but you can also schedule that content with Buffer. We thought it would be helpful to share it here.
Wait, what are Shortcuts?
Shortcuts is an app by Apple that you’ll find preinstalled on your iPhone. In a nutshell, Shortcuts creates a simple way for you to help your apps talk to each other, so you can link various actions together to create shortcuts and automation.
The former are manually triggered in the Shortcuts app, and the latter will happen automatically. Many of them can be used with Siri voice commands, so you don’t even have to touch your phone to set off a chain of events.
Here are some useful, albeit basic, examples:
- Take a Break allows you to set an alarm and turn on Do Not Disturb until that alarm goes off.
