n=1 but I've never seen a bluesky content link in the wild. I've seen lots of people talking about bluesky or moving to bluesky though.

It takes a bit for content to go viral. Bluesky was mostly irrelevant until just over a week ago.

Since then I've seen plenty of Bluesky embeds in articles where there wouild have been Twitter/X embeds.

Wait, did I miss something that happened just over a week ago?

The U.S. Presidential election and its outcome on November 5th was the inflection point for the significant migration from X to Bluesky, as a) many were staying on Twitter/X only for the real-time news and discussion about the election results which ended up not being that interesting due to the Trump sweep and b) the results in favor of Trump will give Elon more power and make Twitter/X more insufferable.

Looks like pretty steady growth since August, with a burst this week.
