If you miss the notification, you can view it by clicking the cracker icon at the top of the screen. You can also create the same post on the smartphone version of Bluesky by updating to version 1.91.1.

The total number of Bluesky users was about 6 million until around August 2024, but it rapidly increased after the Brazilian Supreme Court ordered the ban on the use of X (formerly Twitter) , and it was reported that the number of users exceeded 9 million on September 7, 2024. The momentum of increasing the number of users by 1 million in just 10 days is likely to continue in the future.
