How to connect Bluesky with an app password and schedule posts

In short: use a dedicated Bluesky app password for a management tool, never the primary account password. Naasher exchanges it for AT Protocol session tokens and uses those tokens to create post records.

Create an app password in Bluesky settings and label it clearly. In Naasher enter the service URL—normally https://bsky.social—your handle or identifier, and the app password.

Bluesky explains session creation and records in its creating a post tutorial. A post is an app.bsky.feed.post record; images are uploaded as blobs before they are embedded.

Current limits

• 300 characters per post.
• Up to four images with independent alt text.
• Threads and replies.
• No video or polls in the current Naasher integration.

For a thread, Naasher creates the first record, stores its URI and CID, and uses those references for the following reply. This preserves the graph relationship rather than merely publishing adjacent text.

Create a separate app password for every tool. If one is exposed, revoke only that credential, delete the connection, and create a replacement. Measure replies and reposts over several weeks, not a single launch post.

For an open network that authorizes against the user's own server, see the Mastodon guide.
