In light of recent events, many users are departing from Twitter—now known as X—and establishing their presence on alternative social media platforms. One of the primary beneficiaries of this shift is Bluesky. If you’re contemplating making a similar transition, we have a comprehensive guide to assist you in the process.
Retrieve Your Twitter Archive
If you value the content you’ve shared on Twitter (or X), consider downloading your archive to preserve a record dating back to when you first joined. To do this, log into Twitter on the web, click on More (the three dots), then navigate to Settings and privacy > Your account > Download an archive of your data.
Select Request archive, and you’ll initiate the process. A message will inform you that it may take up to 48 hours for your archive to be prepared, depending on how active you’ve been. Once it’s ready, you’ll receive a notification prompting you to download it.
By following the download link, you’ll obtain a zip file containing all your posts along with additional information such as devices used, interests registered on Twitter, and even advertising profile details.
Create Your Bluesky Account
If you’re not yet registered with Bluesky,
the sign-up process is quick—ensure you have a profile picture ready (you can use one from
your Twitter account for consistency). VisitBluesky’s website ,
click Sign up,
and follow the prompts provided.
You’ll need an email address and date of birth,
as well as selecting a username handle that will identify you across the platform.
You can also upload a profile picture and share your interests with Bluesky,
which will help recommend accounts for you to follow.
After creating your account,
click on your profile picture at the top left corner,
then selectEdit Profile .
Here, add a cover photo at the top of your profile page and write a brief bio about yourself.
To share your new profile link with others,
click on three dots followed byShare .

While starting anew in Bluesky might be appealing,
there are tools available if you’d like some elements from your previous life on Twitter (X).
For transferring posts,
Porto is an extension compatible with Chrome and Edge that facilitates easy transfer:
Simply provide details about both accounts so it can migrate all posts over (note that replies or retweets linked to other users’ posts won’t be included).
To locate individuals followed previously on Twitter,
Sky Follower Bridge is worth trying out.
This extension works across Chrome, Edge, and Firefox;
just open it while viewing who you’re following list from Twitter.
Enter credentials for Bluesky within this tool so it can identify those who’ve transitioned over too.
Once results appear onscreen,you’ll decide whom you’d like again—hit Follow All if you’d prefer adding everyone simultaneously.
The scanning may take time based upon how many people were followed initially but ensures no one gets overlooked during migration!
