Once your Bluesky account is connected (see Connecting your Bluesky account to Ocoya), you can create and schedule Bluesky posts directly from Ocoya.
Creating a Bluesky post
1. Click Create new, then choose New post.
2. Select your Bluesky channel. Connected profiles appear as avatars above the caption box, each with a small platform badge. Click the one with the Bluesky badge — a selected channel is highlighted with a ring, and hovering shows the profile name. Click again to deselect.
3. Write your post. Keep an eye on the character count in the top-right — Bluesky's limit is lower than most platforms.
4. Switch to the Preview tab to see the post rendered the way it will appear once published.
5. Click Schedule to choose a date, time and time zone, or Post now to publish straight away.
