Bluesky Post Formatting: The Grapheme Advantage

Bluesky uses grapheme counting, which changes how you think about post formatting. Each emoji counts as just 1 character instead of 2, and URLs do not count at all. This gives you more effective space in your 300-character limit than you might expect.

Line breaks work well on Bluesky and render properly across all clients. Use them to create visual structure in your posts. Short paragraphs with breaks between them are easier to read than dense blocks of text.

The platform has a different culture than Twitter. Posts that feel authentic and conversational tend to do well. Overly polished corporate content often falls flat. Write like you are talking to a friend who shares your interests.

Alt text for images is handled separately from your post text. Bluesky takes accessibility seriously, and the community appreciates when creators add meaningful alt text. It does not eat into your character count.

Reply threads work well for longer content. You can chain posts together to share extended thoughts while keeping each individual post focused. The threading interface is clean and easy to follow.
