Bluesky is growing fast. That’s a good thing. New voices, fresh ideas, real conversations. But then…the spam starts creeping in. Weird links. Random tags. Bots trying way too hard.

If your feed’s been feeling off lately, you’re not imagining it. Spam on Bluesky is real and definitely annoying. So, what can you do? How do you clean things up and get your Bluesky experience back on track?

Here’s the answer. It’s not just muting or reporting every spammer you see. It’s about being proactive and using the right tools to take control of your space.

Tools like BluePilot make it way easier to manage the junk without losing your mind.

Let’s walk through how to clean up your feed and stop seeing spam on Bluesky.

What Does Spam Look Like on Bluesky?

It’s not always obvious. Sometimes it’s blatant, sure. Fake giveaways. Crypto scams. Accounts with one post and 400 follows. But sometimes it’s sneakier.

You might see:

• Accounts tagging 30 people in every post, hoping to get attention
• Posts flooding hashtags just to get seen
• Bots liking and replying to random posts with generic comments
• Followers that never engage or that disappear a few days later

It clutters your feed. It wastes your time. And worst of all, it drowns out real people you actually want to hear from. If you are also seeing NSFW content or low-quality accounts, check out our guide on how to remove NSFW and spam accounts for even more tips.

Step One: Clean Out the Spammy Accounts You’re Already Following

This is a big one. A lot of the spam you’re seeing? It’s coming from accounts you’ve already followed, probably without realizing. Maybe they looked legit. Maybe they followed you first. Maybe you were just trying to grow and followed back too fast.

With BluePilot’s Smart Unfollows, you can:

• See which accounts don’t engage with you at all
• Filter out the ones posting spammy junk
• Unfollow in batches, fast and easy

It’s a huge time-saver. You’re not stuck digging through profiles one by one. You just set your filters and let it rip. It feels good, honestly. Like clearing out old clothes you never wear.

Step Two: Stop Spam Before It Starts With Smarter Follows

Let’s be real. Following back every single person who follows you? That’s how the spam sneaks in. Some accounts just want that follow and never show up again. Or worse, they start posting garbage.

BluePilot helps you avoid that by showing you who’s actually worth following.

With Smart Queue, you can:

• Filter new accounts by keywords, post history, engagement, and more
• Follow real users who are part of your space
• Avoid sketchy accounts before they fill your feed with noise

It’s like having a spam detector built into your follow button.

Step Three: Spot Spammy Behaviour Before It Takes Over Your Feed

You know how some accounts post five times a minute? Or how some just copy and paste the same comment everywhere?

Yeah, that’s a red flag. It’s not about being paranoid. It’s about paying attention to what feels off and having the tools to do something about it.

Step Four: Use the Platform’s Built-In Tools (But Don’t Rely On Them Alone)

Bluesky does let you mute or report spammy users. And you should. Every time.
But if you’re relying only on those tools, you’re going to be stuck in reaction mode forever. By the time you mute someone, they’ve already posted ten more things. And reporting? That’s hit or miss right now.

BluePilot gives you prevention. It lets you manage your feed, community, and growth before it becomes a problem. You can also filter out politics if you want an even more personalized experience.

Step Five: Keep Your Community Tight and Real

This is the part people overlook. Spam thrives when your community is unfocused. If you’re following everyone and anyone, you open the door to low-effort content and junky interactions.

BluePilot helps you stay focused on the right crowd. You can:

• Tailor your following list to match your interests
• Remove dead weight regularly
• Build a space that actually feels like yours
• Unfollow inactive accounts so spam stays out for good

It’s not about numbers. It’s about quality. The more intentional you are with who you follow and engage with, the less spam you’ll see and the more rewarding Bluesky becomes.

What About Bluesky Support or Customer Service?

If you’ve searched for Bluesky support or tried reaching Bluesky customer service to deal with spam, you’ve probably noticed it’s still a bit of a work in progress.

They’re doing their best, but the platform’s new. It’s not fully staffed or built out like Twitter or Facebook. So while you can report things, it might take a while before anything happens.

That’s why tools like BluePilot are so important. They fill the gap between “something’s wrong” and “someone fixed it.” And they let you take action right now.

Final Thoughts

Spam is annoying. No one wants to scroll through a wall of bots, fake promos, or lazy copy-paste comments. But the good news? You’re not stuck with it.
You can clean up your feed. You can stop spam from flooding your timeline. And you can build a real community of Bluesky users who are actually there to connect.

BluePilot helps make that possible.

So if you're tired of seeing the same spam posts over and over, or if your feed feels more like a chore than a conversation, try BluePilot. Get rid of the junk. Keep the good stuff. Make Bluesky feel like your space again.
