Questions about these lists

What lists are on this page?

Three groups. People: the most followed accounts, those gaining the most followers today, the fastest growing, the top new accounts, the accounts with the most reach and who is live right now. Trending: the most liked posts, videos and photos of the day, the most debated posts, and the links, news sites and hashtags shared by the most accounts. Discover: starter packs, custom feeds, apps of the AT Protocol, labelers and moderation lists.

What is the Live Now badge on Bluesky?

Bluesky shows a red "Live" badge on the profile of an account that is streaming, when the account links its stream (Twitch, YouTube, Kick, Stream.place and others). The live list shows every account with the badge right now, the newest streams first, and how many stream on each platform.

How are the rankings made?

bskycheck counts the rankings itself on the whole Bluesky network: every follow, like, repost, quote, reply, link and hashtag as it happens, plus the counts shown on each profile, post and feed. Gains and growth are over the last 24 hours (follows minus unfollows); reach is the likes, reposts, quotes and replies an account received over the last 7 days; links and hashtags count the different accounts that shared them, so one account posting all day counts once. Topics are sorted automatically. Adult content and spam are left out.

How often are the lists updated?

The live list follows the badges as they appear and disappear, every few minutes. The other lists are updated every hour, apps and labelers once a day. While a list covers less time than its full window, a small "last 3 h" tag says so.

What do Hot, New and Rising mean?

Hot: gaining likes, followers or shares the fastest right now. New: posted in the last 3 hours, or not in the list a day ago. Rising: up 10 places or more since yesterday.

How can my profile be at the top of a list?

Each list has one sponsored spot at the top: your picture, your name, a link and a short description. It costs $29 a month per list with the "Advertisement" membership on Ko-fi; tell us which list you want. If that spot is taken, you join its waiting list or pick another list.

Can I see more about an account?

Yes: the free Bluesky profile viewer shows any account's posts, activity and followers. For the whole network, see the Bluesky statistics.
