When I first joined Bluesky, I was excited to explore a fresh social space outside the usual Twitter noise. But as I tried to rebuild my network—following people in my niche, reconnecting with known names, or finding new voices—I hit a wall.
There’s no way to bulk follow on Bluesky.
Whether you’re trying to follow all the followers of a specific account or searching users based on interests and location, Bluesky currently doesn’t support mass following. That makes growing your network a slow, manual process.
Here’s what I learned—and a powerful tool that’s about to change everything.

Why You Might Want to Bulk Follow on Bluesky!
There are several reasons why someone might want to follow a lot of people quickly on Bluesky:
- You’ve opened a new account and want to find your community fast
- You’re transitioning from Twitter and want to follow similar people
- You want to connect with users who talk about specific keywords or topics
- You’re targeting people from a specific country, city, or language
- You want to mirror the following list of a known creator or brand
In theory, these are easy. In practice, they’re not.
The Problem: Bluesky Doesn’t Support Mass Following!
Bluesky is still a young platform, and it doesn’t offer any advanced follower management tools.
There’s no:
➡️ Mass follow button
➡️ Way to follow everyone from a search result
➡️ Option to follow all users from someone’s follower or following list
➡️ Keyword-based people search with filtering
➡️ Location or interest-based user discovery
The only way to follow someone is… one by one.
How to Follow Someone on Bluesky (Step-by-Step)
If you’re new to Bluesky, here’s how to follow someone manually:
1. Go to their profile.
2. Click the “Follow” button on the right-hand side.
3. Repeat. Again. And again. And again.
If you want to follow 100 people, you’ll need to click “Follow” 100 times. There’s no shortcut built into the platform.
Why This Is a Problem
Building a network on Bluesky is harder than it should be.
If you want to follow people from a specific community or interest group, you have to open each profile and follow them one by one.
It’s slow, repetitive, and takes your focus away from actually engaging on the platform.
Without smarter tools, discovering and connecting with the right people becomes a time-consuming task—making it difficult to grow efficiently.
