# Bluesky

Every Bluesky post naming your keyword, in real time from the network's firehose.

Bluesky is not polled: Mentio reads the whole network's firehose as it happens and keeps every post that contains a keyword.

| `platform`                    | `bluesky`                  |
| ----------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| What is found                 | Every post naming the term |
| Freshness                     | Real time                  |
| Last 30 days on a new keyword | Yes, the newest 10         |

## What a mention carries

* `post.text`: the post's text. A post with only an image or a video and no text is skipped.
* `author`: display name (else handle), profile link, avatar, followers.
* `post.replyTo`: for a reply, the post it answers (author, link and text).

The rest is the same on every platform: relevance, sentiment and intent from the classifier, your triage, and the keyword it matched. See the [mention shape](/api).

## Mute an author

`bsky.app/profile/name.bsky.social`, the bare handle (`name` becomes `name.bsky.social`), or a DID (`did:plc:…`). See [Mute authors](/alerts#mute-authors).

## Limits

* Image alt text and link cards are not read, only the post's text.
* A keyword created a moment ago is matched within about two minutes.
