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

“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.”

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

Practical: - Always tag with the broad discovery set (nsfw + category + body-type). - Add one specific category tag per post; match the content. - Don't lead with store tags; they are for buyers already in your feed.
