Bluesky Introduces "Starter Pack" Feature to Curate Accounts and Feeds

Social network Bluesky has introduced a new feature that allows users to create a curated list of people and custom feeds to follow. This feature, called "Starter Pack," is designed to help new users find interesting content right from the start.

Existing users can add accounts and custom feeds to create a starter pack and share the link or QR code with someone who is not on Bluesky yet. The link shows a "Join Bluesky" button, which leads to a sign-up page for the social network. Once signed up, the account will automatically follow all the suggested people and feeds.

At the moment, you can add 50 users and three custom feeds to the starter pack.

If you are already on Bluesky, this feature can be a good tool to find new people or feeds to follow as well. However, starter packs don't show up in searches at the moment. To discover them, someone has to send you a link or write a post with the starter pack link.

When an existing Bluesky user clicks on the link on the desktop, they can see people, feeds, and even posts posted by those accounts. However, if you tap the link on mobile, it will open in a browser with the sign-up page, so you can't directly follow accounts from there.

A prompt to create starter packs will begin appearing on the desktop and within Bluesky's mobile app on both iOS and Android (v1.87).

Along with this, the new app update also lets people retroactively restrict a conversation so that only specific people can reply to the thread. Options range from no one, only mentioned users, or followed users. Plus, you can also find new feeds to follow in search and explore.
