running some data analysis in attempt to have some more actionable data for creators in regards to visibility, reach, growth looking at public data for 2700+ @verified.babesky.com creators, so far i’ve found hashtag use to make far more of an impact on Bluesky engagement than anything else

I’ve been telling people for quite some time that the way to grow here is using tags to get into feeds, it’s nice to see data backing that up! Amazing as always 🫶

“Global post median = 3 likes. Tagged posts are 5-30x that. Every top-40 volume tag shows positive within-account lift (tagged posts outperform the account's own median), so tags are not a confound of ’good creators tag everything‘ — tagging itself carries reach within a creator.”

Broad category tags (nsfw, milf, curvy, lingerie, boobs, ass) do the heavy lifting. - #nsfw: 1,270 uses, 192 accounts, median 21, lift +5. The broad tags work because they route into feeds and are frequently browsed

Niche tags look insane (#skybusty median 348, lift +331) but n=11 across 4 accounts. That is account size, not tag power

Bottom tags cluster around platform/storefront tags, #yourvids (6), #throne (1), #clips4sale (0), #c4s (0), #contentcreator (20): storefront / "I sell here" tags. Negative or zero lift. Selling signals don't travel; discovery signals do
