Bluesky is the one network that doesn’t use a sign-in page. You connect it with your handle and an app password — a separate password you generate in Bluesky, which you can revoke at any time without changing your account password.

​
Before you start

Generate an app password in Bluesky under Settings → App passwords. It looks like xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx. Never enter your account password. Ocoya asks for an app password specifically so it never holds full access to your account.

​
Connect Bluesky

1

Open Channels

Select Channels in the left sidebar, then Connect channel.
2

Choose Bluesky

Pick Bluesky from the Add a connection panel.
Add a connection modal with a category sidebar on the left — All, Social, Streaming, Community, Blogging, Ecommerce and Developers, each with a count — and a grid of channel cards, each with its logo, name and a one-line description

3

Enter your handle

Your handle is under your display name on your Bluesky profile — usually yourname.bsky.social. Custom domain handles work too.
4

Paste the app password

Paste the app password you generated, then select Connect Bluesky.
There’s also a Follow us on Bluesky checkbox, ticked by default. Clear it if you’d rather not.

​
What you can post

​
Bluesky’s limits

2 MB per image is the tightest image limit of any network Ocoya supports. A photo straight off a phone is usually larger, so compress before uploading if Bluesky rejects it.

​
Long captions become threads

Bluesky holds 300 characters per post. Above that, Ocoya splits your caption into a thread rather than refusing it, up to 5,000 characters total. See Long posts and threads.

​
Common problems

“Could not connect Bluesky.” Almost always the account password rather than an app password, or a typo in the handle. Generate a fresh app password and try again. “It worked, then stopped.” Revoking the app password in Bluesky disconnects Ocoya. Generate a new one and reconnect — see Reconnect a channel. “My video won’t attach.” Bluesky publishing is image-only in Ocoya. Post the video to another channel, or share a link.
