Why timing matters for gaming on Bluesky
Bluesky defaults to a chronological feed, meaning your post's visibility is directly tied to when you publish. Posts during peak hours receive 4-5x more engagement than those in off-hours. Custom algorithmic feeds exist but chronological is dominant.
Friday through Sunday are prime because users fully transition into entertainment mode. Late evenings (7-11 PM) are the core window. Weekday afternoons (3-6 PM) capture after-school and post-work gamers.
