Starter Guide
Since the dead bird platform pretty much entirely got infested by Na**s and flatearthers, people leaving the sinking ship left and right mostly to Bluesky, here a little help to get the best experience.
Feel free to copy/paste and translate.

Under "Languages", pay attention to the bottom option if you use feeds. Uncheck everything to see everything.

04.
Check "Moderation", check the NSFW settings and check "Advanced" below. Adjust Blueskys moderation stuff.

You can also subscribe to these block lists for some extra security. Use with caution as overblock may be the result.
Press "Subscribe" to get the option between banning or muting the listed people. You will find them under "Moderation Lists".

The label services also have their own blocklists which should block the users they also label.
Dunno how well they are maintained. There are more, but can't search for them specifically somehow.

skywatchDE - Multiple Lists which also include german stuff
07.
To check if you got listed by someone yourself purposely/by accident, you can check that via:
https://clearsky.app/
Better do that every now and then as sometimes bots are being used for ban lists and with that false positives occur.
To Report false positives of labelers and their blocklist use the general report funktion on the profile, you can choose where you want to report to. To report malicious blocklists you can do so on the lists page.
These weird Blockenheimer lists are lists where you liked something or followed someone the list creator
doesn't like...

08.
Check everything else in your settings

09.
You can use hashtags in your profile description. If people click them they can find post of you which use these hashtags

10.
Use the addon "Sky Follower Bridge" to maybe find your Twitter people on Bluesky

11.
Click “#Feeds” on the left to find Feeds for QoL features and to find post collections you are interested in.
READ THEIR DESCRIPTIONS! Certain Feeds have requirements for you to be able to participate.
They can be sorted and pinned/unpinned by clicking the cogwheel.
Click the Feeds in “#Feeds” list to get to their main page, read their description or delete them from your list.
Feeds will show up at the top of the “Home” page and right of it.
Feeds are handled and hosted by other people and their servers, so there may be issues occasionally or they might disappear entirely.

12.
Make use of some basic feeds so you can see a timeline with and without reposts:Only posts
Posts of mutuals
Posts with images w/o reposts
Alike feeds now also exist from the Bluesky Team, so you may wanna use theirs instead.
Check their Feed tab

I noticed that any of these Feeds like to miss catching posts, so you want to scroll through Bluesky normal “Following” Feed occasionally.
If you use deck.blue or something alike you can simply use this tab multiple times and simply adjust the settings.

In lack of bookmarks, you can use this feed and answer a post with a 📌:

13.
The easiest way to create your own feeds is using Bluesky Feed Creator.

14.
To have a Tweetdeck like experience, deck.blue and skyfeed.app are your friends right now. There may be more in the future.
You need to create a token to use these services. There is a button for this on their pages. Everytime you log in, you need to create a new one, so make sure you stay logged in. After creating a new one, you can delete the old one.


General Advice:- Don’t interact with bots/trolls, block them.
- At best limit your DMs to people you follow.
- Check anyone who follows you and block those who follow a lot of people (there are a few who are real people, so check carefully).
- People you blocked yourself or via a blocklist will be blocked from your feeds and you will also not appear in these peoples starter-packs.
- Scammers: People who offer you art commissions; people who say they accidentally reported you; people (bots) who answer your posts randomly with Go Fund Me and similar stuff.
- Report bad actors.
- Use this to unfollow a whole starter-pack: https://unfollowpack.nabil.blue/
