Can you see who unfollowed you on Bluesky?
No. Bluesky does not show who unfollowed you. It alerts you to new followers, likes, reposts, replies, quotes, and mentions. It sends no alert when someone leaves.
To check one person, open their profile and look for the "Follows you" label. To see everyone who leaves, use a Bluesky unfollow tracker like Unfollow. You only enter your Bluesky handle. No password. It can't find unfollows from before you connect.
What Bluesky provides
Bluesky shows your follower count and your current follower list. You can see who follows you now. You can't see who used to follow you and stopped.
Bluesky's API works the same way. It returns your current followers, not past ones.
There is one difference from other networks. On Bluesky, a follow is a public record. When someone unfollows, that record is deleted, and the change shows up on Bluesky's public network stream. That is how a tracker can see it.
How to check if one person unfollowed you on Bluesky
Open the person's profile. If they follow you, you'll see a "Follows you" label next to their handle. If the label is gone, they don't follow you now.
You can also open your own follower list and look for their name.
This works for one or two people. It doesn't work for a big account, and it can't tell you when they left. To see every unfollower by name, you need a tracker.
How Bluesky unfollower tracking works
A Bluesky unfollower tracker can't look backward. It needs a starting list first.
Unfollow works in three steps:
- You enter your Bluesky handle, like
name.bsky.social. - Unfollow saves your current follower list as the starting list.
- Unfollow watches Bluesky's public stream of follow and unfollow events for your account. When someone unfollows, they show up in your dashboard by name.
You don't have to wait for a daily check. Unfollows are picked up as Bluesky reports them.
What the tracker can show
After tracking starts, Unfollow shows who unfollowed you and when. It can also show accounts you follow that don't follow you back.
That tells you who left. It doesn't tell you why.
What the tracker cannot show
- It can't find unfollows from before you connected.
- It can't tell you why someone left.
- A missing follower doesn't mean a certain post caused it.
- If Bluesky's network or our service has an outage, an unfollow can be delayed or missed.
A drop in your follower count is not the same as a list of names. The count can change for other reasons. The tracker only names accounts that unfollow after you connect.
For more on tracking limits, see the Unfollow FAQ.
Your handle, not your password
Unfollow never asks for your Bluesky password or an app password. You only enter your handle.
That works because Bluesky follower lists are public. Anyone can read them through Bluesky's official API. Unfollow reads your list there. It gets no access to your account, so it can't post, like, follow, or message for you.
You can remove the Bluesky connection anytime in your Unfollow settings. See the Unfollow privacy policy for how we handle account data.
Other platforms work a bit differently. For X, Twitch, YouTube, Trovo, and VKontakte, you sign in on that platform's own page (OAuth) and approve access. Bluesky is the only one where you just enter your handle.
Unfollowers and not following back
These are two different lists.
An unfollower used to follow you and stopped.
Not following back means you follow an account that doesn't follow you. That account may never have followed you at all.
