Bluesky profiles come in the format of  https://bsky.app/profile/<username>.bsky.social, so to view Bluesky posts without account, just replace <username> with the username of the Bluesky user whose profile you want to view.

For example, to check out the user emmanueledem on Bluesky without an account, you'd go to https://bsky.app/profile/emmanueledem.bsky.social.

That's all about viewing Bluesky profile without account. Now let's move to posts.

View Bluesky posts without account

Bluesky posts begin with the profile link of the user who created the post, followed by /post/ and a series of letters and numbers. For example, https://bsky.app/profile/emmanueledem.bsky.social/post/3kibbadgb4y2m is a post by the Bluesky user emmanueledem.

You can also search Google for the person's username (or full name, if you don't know it) and "Bluesky" to find their profile and posts.

You can search Bluesky and filter live content without an account.
