The World Series Was Electric — So Was Bluesky
November 6, 2025
by The Bluesky Team
As blue confetti settles in Los Angeles after an historic World Series win, we close the chapter on another electric sports event on Bluesky. It’s during these cultural flashpoints when Bluesky is at its best – when stadium crowds are going wild, you can feel that same excitement flooding into posts.
Numbers can help describe the scale of that feeling. There were approximately 600,000 baseball posts made during the World Series, based on certain key terms. (note: we’re pretty sure that this number is an undercount, as it’s hard for us to accurately attribute to baseball the flood of “oh shit” posts that came in during Game 7)
At least 3% of all posts made on November 1 (Game 7) were about baseball. The final game also resulted in a +30% bump in traffic to Bluesky, with engagement spikes up to +66% from previous days.
We loved seeing World Series weekend in action, but it wasn’t a total surprise. In the last three months, sports generated the third-highest number of unique posts of any topic. Sports posters are also seeing greater engagement rates from posting on Bluesky than on legacy social media apps - up to ten times better.
But in a world of analytics, it’s easy to lose the love of the game. In that regard, we’re fortunate to have a roster of posters who bring the intangibles. They genuinely care about sports. Less hate, more substance and celebration.
yep, this is the baseball place now

If this World Series proved anything, it’s that big moments are more enjoyable when they unfold in real time, with real people. Sports has the juice on Bluesky — and every high-stakes game is bringing more fans into the conversation.
