Social buzz — Hacker News and Bluesky
Your mentions on two public communities that AIs read
Open the page in the appWhy these sources matter for LLMs
Hacker News and Bluesky are public, open platforms: their discussions are freely accessible to crawlers, widely present in the corpora used by language models and consulted by AI engines that perform web search. A brand discussed positively in these communities gains notoriety signals that AIs can pick up — just like Reddit, already covered by its own page.
How to use it
- 1. Open the External presence hub, then the Social buzz tab.
- 2. The page automatically loads mentions of your brand — no configuration, no account to connect.
- 3. Hacker News column: every thread mentioning the brand, with a clickable title to the discussion, snippet, points, comment count and date.
- 4. Bluesky column: every post, with author, @handle, full text, likes, reposts, replies and date.
- 5. Click Refresh to re-run the search at any time.
Free, zero configuration
This page relies on the public interfaces of both platforms: it is free, consumes no paid API credit and requires no key.
Zero mentions? That's normal (and honest)
Hacker News and Bluesky are mostly English-speaking, tech-oriented communities. For a local brand or a service SMB, having no mention is the most common outcome — and the page shows it as-is rather than inflating numbers. It's not a bug: it's information. If your market is international or tech, these platforms become a real AI visibility lever.
