Bluesky
The simplest connector to set up.
| Connect | Credentials you paste |
| Post kinds | text, images |
| Caption limit | 300 |
| Max media | 4 |
| Media required | No |
| Video | Not supported |
Connect
- In Bluesky, open Settings, then App passwords, and create one.
- In Postlyra, open Settings, then Connections, then Bluesky.
- Paste your handle as the identifier (for example
you.bsky.social) and the app password.
Use an app password, never your main password
An app password is revocable on its own and cannot change your account settings. Bluesky generates them precisely so a third-party tool never holds your real credentials.
Posting
300 characters is a hard limit and it is tight. The composer counts against it as you write.
Text-only posts are fine, images are optional, up to 4.
Metrics
Bluesky post metrics and follower counts sync automatically, no setup needed. See Metrics for what most platforms report back today.
Engage
DMs, replies and mentions on Bluesky arrive in your Inbox, read on a schedule since Bluesky has no push webhooks. DMs need an app password that allows access to direct messages. You can reply from there, and repost your own posts.
Good to know
Bluesky has no review process, no app approval, and no rate-limit surprises. If you want to see the whole publishing pipeline working end to end before wrestling with Meta's app review, connect Bluesky first.
