I'm in the same spot. I appreciate their caution, but I'm also impatient.

Wikipedia quiz result: "I scored 4/5 on \"Which came first?\" today." with a visual indicator of checkmarks and one cross. The card also lists "Topics included:", detailing events like the "2004 Erbil bombings" and "Jama'at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad".

So I can't sign into Bluesky from their app or website but using a third-party app works? Make it make sense.
