Professor Kiosk

A plain-English guide to Bluesky for people who want to post jokes or other weirdness and be found doing it. It covers the slang you'll see, how to reply and quote without annoying anyone, your profile and bio, building your own feeds (with a step-by-step SkyFeed video), muting, blocking and cleaning up your timeline, growing an audience, hashtags, contests, images and alt text, and how direct messages and group chats work.

Free-associate your way to a shitpost. Build a web of ideas around a subject, cover the subject up, think about each branch on its own, then bring it back and see what's funny. Choose a full web, a mini web, or a double web that collides two subjects. Based on Sally Holloway's joke-web technique. Includes a draft box. No sign-in.

Spin a random topic, or smash two or three together. Turn the dials to make them closer, further apart, or weirder, lock the bits you like, and send one topic or a pair to the Joke-Web Maker. No sign-in.

Pick a joke format, like Nobody / Me, Professor X Asks, or Fake Headline. Each card explains how the format works, then gives you blanks to fill in, a character counter, and buttons to copy the post or open it in Bluesky. About 30 formats. No sign-in.

Paste a joke and it flags the filler and hedge words, repeated words and long sentences. Tap a flag to cut it, or tighten the whole joke in one tap, then copy it or open it in Bluesky. Nothing is stored. No sign-in.

Type two Bluesky handles and see who they both follow, which of those shared accounts sit at the center of their community, and who they both reply to, plus the accounts each one likes and reposts that the other doesn't follow. Save it as a card. No sign-in.

Paste the post that started a quote post game and watch every quote of it unfold as a browsable tree. Search it, fold it, trace any quote back to the original, and see who kept it going. There's a one-click example of a big one, the 1,200-quote Imagine Flagons saga. No sign-in.

A feed generator for Bluesky. Make your own feed of your posts, ranked by likes or newest first, with or without replies. Pick a name, description and icon, share the link in your bio, and it keeps itself up to date. Needs a Bluesky app password, used once and never stored.

Type a Bluesky handle and see a grid of the hours of the week: when the account's posts go up and when they get the most likes. A second panel, What Lands, shows what the top 10% of posts have in common. No sign-in.

Type a Bluesky handle and get a transit pass for the account: member since, posts, how often they post, followers, and a route color of its own. Save the image or copy its alt text. No sign-in.

Paste a post link and get a receipt of its stats. Save it, share it, frame it. No sign-in.
