Set My Custom Domain as My Bluesky Handle

I recently registered a Bluesky account and noticed that some people have my desired username. I am now exploring how to set my custom handle.

Step 1: Access Account Settings

1. Go to Bluesky Account Settings.
2. Click Handle.
3. Select I have my own domain.

Step 2: Configure DNS Settings

1. Open your domain management panel (e.g., Cloudflare).
2. Add a new TXT record:
   • Type: TXT
   • Name/Host: _atproto
   • Value/Content: (From The Bluesky)
   • TTL: Auto
3. Save the DNS record.

Step 3: Verify Your DNS Record

1. In Bluesky, click Verify DNS Record.
2. Check if the record is correctly set using: bash nslookup -type=TXT _atproto.huyixi.com dig TXT _atproto.huyixi.com +short If the returned value matches your set value, the DNS is correctly configured.

Step 4: Click “Update to ‘Custom Handle’””

Now your Bluesky handle will be updated to your custom domain! 🚀
