Click “see more” in the preview to open the full post. The cut-off is a close match to the app, but each app changes its layout now and then.

How to use the Bluesky Post Preview

  1. Write or paste your text. The preview updates as you type.
  2. Add your name, username and, if you like, a profile picture and a post image.
  3. Switch between phone and computer width, and between light and dark.
  4. Check where the text is cut (the full text for most posts) and rewrite until the first lines work on their own.

Good to know

  • Bluesky counts graphemes, which are the characters you see, not the underlying code.
  • The preview is a close mock-up, not a copy of the app. Apps change their layout, fonts and cut-off points from time to time, so treat it as a guide.
  • Numbers for likes, comments and views are sample figures.

Questions

What does the Bluesky preview show?

The avatar, display name, handle, text, image and the reply, repost, like and share row, in light or dark.

Are my pictures uploaded?

No. The pictures are shown straight from your device and are never sent anywhere.
