They have over 1.8 million users currently, or do you mean PDSes specifically? Federation is in open beta on a test network, you can try it out today if you'd like.
I have been on the wait list since they launched. They seem to mostly rely on invites.

That. And none of the big social media platforms were big at the start either.
Yes but 1.8Mi at a time where people are longing for a Twitter alternative is just leaving money on the table
The exceptions are those rare products that despite a low cost marketing sell themselves so well that their organic growth is fast and in a few months everybody use them.
Maybe Bluesky don't have the money to advertise or is not compelling enough. As one data point: I know about Mastodon but I think that I learned about Bluesky only today. I went to their site and there is nothing to explain how it works except that it's some social thing. I learned more by reading the comments here. Apparently it's being marketed at a very low cost.
Edit: I'm all out now :)

don't know why, but recent teams around me have always made strict rules about number of commits in PRs. I just wanted to tell them the same thing you said: "Why don't you just look at the diffs?" curious for other opinions. (sorry not really about this particular topic)
Commit and push often. Put a novel explaining yourself in the PR. And that's enough IMO.
Someone reading the git changelog 5 years down the line most likely wouldn't be able to find your "novel" in the PR and definitely won't appreciate if instead of a "novel" you ended up with a "short call" with the assigned reviewer explained what you actually did in your 50 "wip" commits.
Why sha256 hash the user into to get a two character target directory? Wouldn't md5 be much faster and solve the same problem?
Anyone interested in joining Bluesky, please grab these. I have extra and I've already invited all my Twitter mutuals I wanted to invite. Edit: I'm all out now :)
Cool, but maybe let people actually use your service before everyone forgets what it is?
I am curious, does the HN folks know if bluesky is more active than nostr or the mastodon network?

I prefer to have clear commits that tell a tidy story. For example: * Refactor function `foo` to accept a second parameter * Add function `bar` * Use `bar` and `foo` in component `Baz` to implement feature #X If you give me a commit history like this, I can easily validate that each step in your claimed process does what you describe. If you instead give me a messy history and ask me to read the diff, you might know…
Funny that two of your commits don't actually tell us why they exist, one simply describes the diff (which you should never need lol?) and the other proxies that responsibility to some other system. You could have simply randomized the text in each commit, put the ticket id and the one "why" in the merge commit body and gotten the same end result amount of real information in the end.
loop i up to n times
break when false
check value returned is not null
