2. Feeds! You can subscribe to different algorithms for your feed, and feeds of specific groups of people. My favourite one is 'Quiet posters', which shows you posts by people you follow who don't post very often.

3. If you subscribe to a lot of feeds and want to occasionally see some of their content on your main feed, just go to: Settings > Content > Following feed > Show samples of your feeds in your following feed.

5. Labelers Bluesky lets people set up custom labels on posts, which are sometimes used for moderation, categorization, and even games. You can find and subscribe to some here. I subscribe to one called 'Art Theft Labeler', which labels posts containing stolen art.

bluesky-labelers.iobluesky-labelers.ioLabels are a way to categorize content and users on BlueSky. They are part of the moderation tools but they can be do lots of interesting things like foster community.

6. Random features you didn't know about. If your post includes a link, you can wait for the preview to show up, and remove the url, and the link stays there! This also saves characters from the character limit.

Lists Advantage: Similar to Feeds, but simpler. Only shows specific accounts you add to the list. I like to gather profiles on the same topic. Disadvantage: Always public. Anyone who visits your profile can see your Lists. You can add other people's Lists as a Feed

9. Bookmarks Sadly, there isn't a bookmark button (yet?) But you can still bookmark posts, by replying to them with 📌 Then they'll all show up in this feed:

This post is unavailable.

The thing about this Bookmarking Method is that you are Bookmarking Publicly, by having to Post/Comment with the 📌 Emoji. You can do this Privately: Report Post - Bookmarks - Other - Send Report ...and you can make those a (personal/PRIVATE) Feed ...if you wanna also.

This is the worst thing ever invented by a social medium (barring whatever has been happening at X) and people should never tell people about it. Just tell them that all of the pins in a thread are there because of a bug, or something

📌 thank you for this most useful Bluesky helper post. Trying out your bookmark pin suggestion here, noting not everyone's a fan but that the Bluesky Devs are working on improving the bookmarking experience 💙🙏
