@maggiejk on Bluesky you have the option of displaying your content only for people who are logged in.

Now, I can't remember if this setting needs to be turned on / if it's off by default. Maybe others can chime in?

@_elena @maggiejk I believe it’s off by default

@Emilia @maggiejk thank you Emilia! 🙏 I vaguely remember I had to turn this on manually for my account

@_elena @maggiejk Be wary. This advice is not quite accurate.

The logged in toggle is only for the Bluesky app. Anyone can still retrieve your data with an easy api call and there are websites out there that will do it for you (I’m not linking them).

A screenshot from the Bluesky app of the toggle for preventing logged out users from seeing your account on the Bluesky app view. The text is: Logged-out visibility Discourage apps from showing my account to logged-out users Bluesky will not show your profile and posts to logged-out users. Other apps may not honor this request. This does not make your account private. P Note: Bluesky is an open and public network. This setting only limits the visibility of your content on the Bluesky app and website, and other apps may not respect this setting. Your content may still be shown to logged-out users by other apps and websites. Learn more about what is public on Bluesky.
