FAQ
Bluesky scheduling FAQ
Does Bluesky have native scheduling?
Not in the official app as of October 2026: posts publish when you press Post. To schedule Bluesky posts you need a tool such as Social9.
Is the Social9 Bluesky scheduler free?
Yes. The Free plan includes Bluesky: 3 social accounts on LinkedIn, Instagram, Mastodon or Bluesky, 20 AI credits a month and 10 queued posts per account, with no credit card. Paid plans start at $12/mo.
Will Social9 post to Bluesky without asking me?
Only if you turn on Full Autopilot. On Drafts only you publish yourself, and on Approve first every post waits for your OK. Quiet hours and a Pause button work in every mode.
What happens if a Bluesky post fails?
Social9 retries posts that fail for a passing reason and alerts you when one can't be published. If Bluesky needs you to log in again, you get a prompt to reconnect.
