I’ve got an account on Bluesky and I’m not sure if I agree. Like 90% of the posts I’ve seen on there are about Bluesky itself, there wasn’t really anything beyond that.
I think the issue is that there’s a slow trickle of people who have just gotten in and go “Wow I just got in, has anyone got any tips?”
Find one or more feeds you like and pin them. I use the newly created For You feed (which algorithmically puts stuff there it thinks you will like) and a couple of topical feeds that are specific to my interests. I think it’s great. Way more content that I care about than there ever was on twitter, and way way more engagement between folks.
I’m a big proponent of Mastodon/Firefish in general, but while they win in volume, Bluesky is already pulling ahead for me in signal to noise ratio. (I think that’s very subjective to what things interest you, so YMMV.)

Well small new platforms do have a lotta posts about themselves, lemmy isnt new but is still full of posts about lemmy
Yeah, if you can get past all the posts about Reddit. Lemmy users mostly spend time bitching about Reddit, Apple, and Microsoft. It’s exhausting.
I generally agree, but I felt like Bluesky was on a whole different level.

And 90% of posts on lemmy seem to be about reddit…
