Frequently Asked Questions
How do I authenticate with Bluesky?
Bluesky uses App Passwords instead of OAuth. Create an App Password in your Bluesky settings (Settings → App Passwords), then use your handle and app password to connect through Late's dashboard.
What content can I post to Bluesky?
Bluesky supports text posts (up to ~300 characters), images (up to 4 per post), and videos. You can also create threaded conversations using platformSpecificData.threadItems.
Can I post to Bluesky with other platforms simultaneously?
Yes! Late's unified API lets you post to Bluesky alongside 9 other platforms (TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Threads, Reddit, Pinterest) in a single API call.
What's the difference between Bluesky and Twitter/X?
Bluesky is built on the decentralized AT Protocol, giving users data portability and algorithmic choice. Unlike centralized platforms, you can move your followers and content between different Bluesky instances without losing your network.
Are there any posting limits on Bluesky?
Bluesky has reasonable rate limits to prevent spam. Late handles these automatically with retries and proper spacing. Your posting frequency depends on your Late plan limits, not Bluesky's technical restrictions.
