hi scientists 🧪 i'd love to hear your thoughts on bluesky!
• what groups/people in science aren't here yet, that you want to see?
• what can bluesky do to make it a better place for science comms?
• what external tools do you use that should integrate bluesky support?
• anything else!
Can we work on getting bluesky buttons with all the wire services? So, Newswise and EurekaAlert via AAAS are some of the main avenues where research news is distributed. They include options for tweeting. Needs bluesky widgets in the mix.
How about some kind of improved list support that would make it easier to find members of some community?
Like enabling short description of main interests/specialties.
Even better if there was some directory of such lists. Might give people some reasons for being here.
DMs, the ability to create a whole thread and then post it, scheduled skeets, ability to turn on post notification for certain accounts, e.g. for @lastquake.bsky.social or @geofon.bsky.social
The value of Twitter was sharing your work to adjacent members in your field and getting genuine feedback. Hearing of job postings and fellowship opportunities.
I really enjoyed being able to go through my feed and pick up articles to read or threads explaining new papers/ interesting ideas. I wonder if there were some way to push those.
a lot of the disabled discourse still seems primarily on twitter. lots of disabled science about our illnesses, treatment options, doctors and specialists, latest studies.
Being able to compose a thread of related posts, such as multiple panels announcements for a specific meeting/convention or linked research publications, before posting the entire thread at once would be helpful
The Feynman ones... ie the ones who COMPLEATLY blow your mind bur are smart enough to make you (the IDIOT that didn't pursue🤦🏼♂️😔) understand the point made❤️🙏
Hey You asked 😉 😁
I truly deeply miss biomedical scientists and physician scientists, particularly from critical care and cardiology. It seems no one wants to leave twotter if not the majority does. We never gained enough of a momentum.
Maybe because the url to the article auto-attached the magazine's image? But on other platforms I'm able to attach screenshots. And scientists attach images to posts.
Elisabeth Bik is registered here but she & others resumed posting on the bird app. I don't think people realize how bad the bird app has gotten - my @TracingCOVID account over there is languishing. Because I logged out, forgot the password, and despite 10 requests, bird app won't email me a new one.
#NativesinSTEM aren't here. A couple of us moved over but most Natives aren't here. I think there was potential early but the community grew too slow. I think people are worried their reach won't be as big here, and they're right. Until Bluesky really grows active users, adding features won't help.
I have many handles here, each on a different subject, and at the other place, if I saw an interesting skeet when logged into my personal handle I'd be able to reskeet it as another handle whilst staying logged in as my personal handle. I'd just tap on the avatar on the reskeet to switch accounts.
I’m no scientist, I’m just a little bee boy. BlueSky is boring & hardly anyone is on this app. I really miss the glory days of Twitter. X is mostly booooooooring politics.
Hello, I work in Quantum Computing, as a Head of Product, and doing more and more development on the side.
I'm not sure what the answer is, but I'd love to see my colleagues coming over from Twitter. I'm mostly on Threads myself.

1) would love to see more people linked to agriculture and science
2) attract missing communities like that one, and also attract scientific organizations (mostly individuals on here, but not institutions)
Hepatology research (LiverTwitter) is largely missing. Kind of surprised so few of us made the transition. Ive found some well known users here on bsky, but they have been inactive for months (I think they are still active on twitter)
1/ I curate a list of over 3000 scientists who study climate change over on X. Only about 1/10 of them are here despite my many invitations to move.
2/ initially, the lack of list making ability was frustrating. Now that I can make a list here, I need to do it!
I know we have lists but I have been waiting for bookmarks. I collect loads of emerging/preprint papers. I'd like it if bookmarks were approached like playlists where people can sort saved posts by topic/tag, etc.
Not a scientist, but like to have feeds from authorities in diferent sciences. Any internal tools that help make feeds from selected authorities, based on keywords in their posts would be fine.It can be done with external tools nowadays.This is an example for climate change bsky.app/profile/did:...
