Sadly programming topics have not gotten much traction on BlueSky. You don't even have a real category for it (just generic Technology) as it's not all that popular. Most the programming related feeds are majority zero engagement.

It's a feedback loop as well; I refrain from saying anything too nerdy on BlueSky because it feels “off-topic”.

Many tech people left Twitter for Mastodon before Bluesky took off. Some also left for cohost, but unfortunately that has just closed down due to lack of funds.

I'm currently on bluesky, but that also has the "no sustainable funding" serious bug. Also it's a frankly miserable place until US election misery dies down, which may take a while.

Yeah... Reddit's still the MVP here. But tbh I'd take the ghost town of BlueSky over what passes for programming discourse on X. Long since taken over by video producers and tech bros pushing their "grindset"

Mastodon probably has a lot more of that, at least it feels like it.
