Our Bluesky Comment Picker is a free tool that helps creators randomly select winners from replies on their Bluesky posts. As Bluesky grows into a major social platform, giveaways are becoming a popular way to build community and reward followers. Our picker makes winner selection fast, fair, and transparent.

Thanks to Bluesky's open AT Protocol, you don't need to connect your account or grant any permissions. Simply paste your bsky.app post URL, and we fetch all replies instantly. Apply filters to match your entry requirements - hashtags, mentions, duplicate removal - then click Pick Winner. Our cryptographically secure algorithm gives every eligible reply exactly equal odds.

Unlike closed platforms that require OAuth connections and API approvals, Bluesky's decentralized architecture means instant, frictionless access to public content. It's the easiest comment picker setup of any platform we support.

Bluesky is growing fast. What started as a Twitter alternative has evolved into a thriving community with its own culture and norms. The platform passed 20 million users and continues accelerating. For creators and brands, this represents a rare opportunity: a growing platform where early presence matters.

Bluesky's community is particularly receptive to authentic engagement. Unlike algorithmic-heavy platforms, Bluesky emphasizes chronological feeds and genuine interaction. Giveaways that feel like community celebrations rather than marketing tactics perform especially well. The audience rewards transparency and penalizes corporate inauthenticity.

Early movers on Bluesky are building audiences that will compound as the platform grows. A giveaway today reaches a smaller but highly engaged audience - and those followers stick around. When Bluesky hits mainstream adoption, you'll already have an established presence.

Bluesky giveaways work best when they feel authentic to the platform's culture. Here's how to run one that your community will love:

1. Make it feel like a celebration, not marketing. Bluesky's community is savvy and rejects corporate-speak. Frame your giveaway as thanking your community, celebrating a milestone, or sharing something you genuinely love. Authenticity performs.
2. Keep entry requirements simple. "Reply to enter" or "Reply + repost" is ideal. Bluesky doesn't have the same follow-for-follow culture as other platforms. Complex requirements feel out of place.
3. Use relevant hashtags. #giveaway and #bskygiveaway help people discover your post. Don't overdo it - Bluesky's community dislikes hashtag spam. Two or three max.
4. Set a clear deadline. "Picking winner Friday at 6pm ET" creates urgency without pressure. The community appreciates knowing when to expect results.
5. Pick winners fairly with our tool. Paste your post URL, filter by your requirements, and pick. The cryptographic randomization is provably fair - something Bluesky's tech-savvy audience appreciates.
6. Announce publicly. Reply to your original post with the winner, or create a follow-up post tagging them. Transparency builds trust for future giveaways. Consider sharing the wheel spin for maximum engagement.

Unlike Instagram or Facebook (which require OAuth and account connections) or Twitter/X (which locked down its API), Bluesky is built on the AT Protocol - an open, decentralized foundation where public data is accessible by design.

What this means for you: zero friction. Paste your bsky.app post URL into our picker and we fetch the replies instantly. No connecting accounts, no granting permissions, no worrying about token expiration. The URL is all we need.

This isn't a workaround or hack - it's how Bluesky is designed to work. The AT Protocol's philosophy is that your content belongs to you and should be portable and accessible. Third-party tools like ours are first-class citizens, not afterthoughts requiring expensive API access.

For creators, this means Bluesky giveaways are the fastest to set up of any platform we support. No account linking flows, no waiting for API approval, no rate limit headaches. Just paste and pick.
