HowTo: The Bluesky Channel

The Bluesky channel lets you post recognized tracks to your Bluesky feed.

Configuration

Find the configuration in the Channels tab → “Bluesky”.

Enter your handle (e.g., example.bsky.social, example.com) and a new app password, then click “Connect”. If the credentials are correct, the app will show you it’s set up:

Automatic Posting

When enabled, a message about the new track is posted automatically once the publishing delay is over. If you enable this feature, you’ll see a template editor that lets you craft the new posts using placeholders. It’s the same editor you’ll find in the manual post feature, so read on.

Manual Posting

When the channel is correctly set up, the track menu will show a “Post to <your handle>” item.

Clicking that menu item will open the post editor:

The editor supports placeholders like track title, artist, album, track links, etc. Only available info is added as placeholders, for example, if the Rocksky channel wasn’t able to fetch the track link from its server, there won’t be a placeholder for it.

Feel free to keep the #ListeningPost hashtag in, I really could use more eye balls on the app :sweat_smile:

LP will automatically fetch the preview for the first included URL (OpenGraph data) and attach it to the post.

And this is how the post then appears in your Bluesky feed:

Remember that the preview varies between services, so an Apple Music URL will get a different preview than Deezer etc.
