Visualizing Use of Emojis on Bluesky

written by Martin Makaryan

U.S.-based software engineer Jared Short has created an interactive visualization showing the diversity and frequency of emojis used in real-time on social media platform Bluesky. Each raindrop represents one post, displaying the emojis it contains: posts with more emojis create larger raindrops, and longer messages make the raindrops fall more slowly. Users can click on each raindrop to view the original post on Bluesky.

Take a look.
