Bluesky Starter Pack About Open Source

2 min read

Bluesky released starter packs on June 26, 2024. They are personalized invites that allow users to bring people directly into your slice of Bluesky!

Bluesky, the decentralized social media platform, has recently introduced starter packs, aiming to personalize user experiences and make it easier for communities to grow. On June 26, 2024, Bluesky launched these starter packs, allowing users to bring friends directly into their customized Bluesky environment.

What’s in a Bluesky Starter Pack?

A Bluesky starter pack can include the following:

  • Custom feeds: On Bluesky, you can set any algorithm or topic as your home timeline.
  • Recommended follows: Add your favorite accounts and encourage new users to follow them.

At the time of writing:

  • Starter packs do not show up in search, so you will need to have someone send you the link or see the embed preview within the Bluesky app.
  • Starter packs can recommend up to 50 people and up to 3 custom feeds. New users will automatically have Following and Discover pinned.

We followed the tutorial provided by Bluesky in their blog post, but even without the tutorial, it is quite easy and intuitive to create a starter pack from the interface.
