Bluesky → Obsidian

A real vault, not a text dump: one note per post, wikilinked replies, tags, and your images in an attachments folder.

What lands in your vault

  • One note per post, filed under notes/YEAR/YEAR-MONTH so the folder tree stays sane.
  • YAML front matter with the created date, source permalink, author, media count and reply flag — all queryable from Dataview.
  • Your hashtags become Obsidian tags, alongside a "bluesky" tag on every note.
  • Replies link to their parent with [[wikilinks]], so threads appear as connected clusters in graph view.
  • Quote posts link to the post they quote, the same way.
  • An index note summarising the whole archive by month.

Installing it

  1. 1Download the vault zip and unpack it.
  2. 2In Obsidian choose "Open folder as vault" and point at the unpacked folder — or drag the contents into a folder inside a vault you already use.
  3. 3Open "Bluesky Archive" to get your bearings.
03

Logseq works too

The same output imports into Logseq without changes: standard Markdown, standard front matter, standard wikilinks. Drop the notes folder into your Logseq pages directory.

Questions

Will thousands of notes slow Obsidian down?
No. Obsidian handles tens of thousands of notes comfortably; the notes are small and plain. If you would rather have fewer files, the Markdown archive groups everything by month instead.
Are images embedded or linked?
If you include the media pack, images are stored locally and linked with relative paths, so the vault works offline forever. Without it, images point at Bluesky's public servers.
