Bluesky podcast comments and auto-posting

Transistor just launched two exciting new features for the Bluesky social network - automatic episode posting and comment integration for your podcast website!

Key Features

  • Automatic episode posting to Bluesky when you publish new episodes

  • Social preview images with episode titles and audio indicators

  • Comments sync between Bluesky and your podcast website

  • Built-in discussion features for audience engagement

  • Works with Transistor's podcast website themes

Auto-post your podcast episode to Bluesky, replies show up as comments on your website!

What is Bluesky?

Bluesky is a new social network built on an open protocol, similar to Twitter and Threads, but with fewer API limitations. This means we can offer powerful features that aren't possible on other platforms, giving you more ways to grow and engage with your podcast audience.

How It Works

Auto-Posting

  1. Connect your Bluesky account in Transistor's integrations

  2. Customize your post template

  3. Every new episode automatically posts to Bluesky when published

Comments & Discussions

  • Any replies to your Bluesky post appear on your podcast website automatically

  • Listeners can join discussions directly from your episode pages

  • Include a "Join the discussion" link in your show notes using a liquid tag

  • Creates a two-way engagement channel between your website and Bluesky

Here's an example of how it works:
