Bluesky Comment Picker for public replies
This tool is designed to run giveaways among public replies to a Bluesky post. Enter the post URL to import compatible replies and turn them into giveaway entries. Many users search for this as a Bluesky comment picker or Bluesky comment picker tool, although Bluesky calls these interactions replies. SorteosUp uses those replies to pick one or more random winners without collecting users manually.
Which Bluesky posts can I use?
Use a public Bluesky post compatible with the SorteosUp importer. Paste the post URL and the tool will try to retrieve its public replies as giveaway entries. The post must remain public and its replies accessible. If the URL is invalid, deleted or unavailable, SorteosUp shows the relevant error before the draw starts.
Free Bluesky giveaways up to 500 replies
Start free with up to 500 replies or participants. This is enough for many Bluesky giveaways and lets you test the process before getting the result. If the volume exceeds the free limit, SorteosUp shows the applicable cost before continuing, so you know the processed entries and price in advance.
Winners, alternates and giveaway rules
After importing replies, configure the number of winners and set alternates in reserve order. Alternates can be used if a winner later fails the entry conditions, does not respond in time or cannot receive the prize. Before the final selection, check that imported entries meet your giveaway rules.
Verifiable result and optional certificate
For greater result transparency, you can generate a verifiable giveaway certificate. It preserves technical information about the process and result, including processed entries, winners, alternates, draw date, result identifier and verification hash, together with a public URL for the certified result. Certification is optional and does not replace your promotion rules or organizer responsibilities.
Tips for running a Bluesky giveaway
Before publishing, state the entry dates, prize, eligibility, number of winners and how you will announce the result. If entry requires a reply, explain what it must contain and whether each user may enter once or more than once. Clear mechanics make later review easier. Before choosing the winner, check that imported replies meet your promotion conditions.
