## Post To Bluesky

### What it is
Post to Bluesky using Ayrshare

### How it works
<!-- MANUAL: how_it_works -->
This block uses Ayrshare's social media API to publish content to Bluesky. It handles text posts (up to 300 characters), images (up to 4), and video content with support for scheduling, accessibility features like alt text, and link shortening.

The block authenticates through your Ayrshare credentials and sends the post data to Ayrshare's unified API, which then publishes to Bluesky. It returns post identifiers and status information upon completion, or error details if the operation fails.
