Interesting. Between yesterday and today @pressherald.bsky.social saw the biggest increase in BlueSky followers since the days after the election.
We added a couple hundred additional followers since yesterday. Follower growth appears to be slowing after an extraordinary week. It remains to be seen if we'll ultimately surpass the 11,500 followers we have on Threads.
Just another day on BlueSky. We gained another 3400 followers. Not sure what is happening, but welcome! The Portland Press Herald is part of the non-profit Maine Trust for Local News. Support local journalism. Get a digital subscription. Visit www.pressherald.com/subscribe/
