How to Move Your Twitter Following to Bluesky

Published on: January 14, 2025

Switching social media platforms feels a bit like moving to a new city. You want to bring all your friends with you, but somehow, they’ve scattered across different neighborhoods, and finding them feels impossible. Enter Sky Follower Bridge, the clever browser extension that’s basically your social media moving truck, lugging your connections from Twitter over to Bluesky without breaking a sweat—or your patience.

Let’s break down how this handy tool works, why it’s awesome, and how you can use it to make your Bluesky debut feel like a homecoming rather than a ghost town visit.

So, What’s Sky Follower Bridge?

Glad you asked. Sky Follower Bridge is a nifty browser extension to help you track down your Twitter pals who’ve already planted their flags on Bluesky. Instead of playing detective or scrolling endlessly to spot familiar faces, this tool does the heavy lifting, matching your Twitter connections with their Bluesky profiles.

Think of it as a social GPS, but instead of “turn left,” it’s telling you, “Oh hey, there’s Sarah from your book club!”

Getting Started: Installing the Extension Without Losing Your Mind

First things first—head over to the Sky Follower Bridge. Once you’ve found the extension, add it to your browser. If you’ve ever installed a browser extension before, you’re already ahead of the game. If not, don’t worry—it’s basically as easy as ordering takeout.

Here’s the setup in a nutshell:

  1. Install the extension.
  2. Open Twitter on your browser and head to a relevant page:
  • Following: People you follow.
  • Followers: People who follow you.
  • Blocked users: Maybe you’re into drama, no judgment.
  • List Members: Your curated lists of legends.
  1. Press Alt + B or click the toolbar icon.

The Magic Moment: Bridging the Gap

Once you’ve summoned the tool with Alt + B, you’ll need to log in to Bluesky. The tool will ask for your Bluesky login email or handle and an app password. Now, don’t panic if you’ve never set up an app password before. It’s like a secret handshake for apps—easy to set up through your Bluesky account settings.

With that done, Sky Follower Bridge scans your Twitter connections faster than you can say “algorithm,” showing you which of your Twitter folks are also on Bluesky.

The best part? You can follow them directly from the results. No copying usernames, no awkward “are you on Bluesky?” DMs. Just one click, and boom—you’re reconnected.

Why Should You Bother?

You might be thinking, “Do I really need to do this?” Well, that depends. Are you planning to actually use Bluesky? Do you enjoy having friends? If the answer is yes, then yes.

Bluesky is all about decentralized social media freedom, and that’s exciting—but it’s also a bit lonely if you’re shouting into the void. Sky Follower Bridge ensures you’re not starting from scratch.

Also, let’s face it: manually hunting down your friends across platforms is about as fun as assembling IKEA furniture without instructions.

Pro Tips to Make the Most of Sky Follower Bridge

  • Check multiple Twitter pages. Your followers, following list, and even blocked users (if you’re curious) can reveal Bluesky gems.
  • Keep your Bluesky handle handy. Some people are using slightly different usernames across platforms—don’t let minor changes throw you off.
  • Double-check the results. Sometimes, the tool might flag a false positive. If “GrumpyCatFan1998” doesn’t seem like your buddy Steve, maybe skip that follow.

A Few Things to Keep in Mind

Sky Follower Bridge is a browser extension, so it’s only as good as your browser. Make sure it’s up to date and that you’re not trying to run this on a machine from 2007.

Also, while this tool is pretty intuitive, it’s still tech—it can hiccup occasionally. If you run into issues, a quick restart or reinstall should do the trick. And hey, patience is a virtue, right?

Ready to Start Your Bluesky Adventure?

With Sky Follower Bridge in your corner, making the leap to Bluesky isn’t just doable—it’s downright easy. You get to keep your network intact, skip the awkward “where’d everyone go?” stage, and dive straight into sharing memes, hot takes, or whatever it is you do best.

So go ahead, install the extension, follow your people, and make Bluesky your new hangout spot. And remember: it’s not about leaving Twitter behind—it’s about starting something new with the friends you’ve already got.
