People switching to Bluesky struggle to rebuild their social graph

People moving from Twitter/X to Bluesky have trouble finding and reconnecting with the accounts they already followed, including mutuals and people in lists. Searching and matching accounts one by one becomes tedious for large networks, and existing migration processes can still require substantial manual work. A useful tool would need to make matches reviewable before following the wrong accounts.

For people moving their social networks from Twitter/X to Bluesky. Mentioned from Oct 2023 to Oct 2025 on Bluesky and Hacker News.
