Welcome to the network, Alex. My strongest possible request/recommendation is to integrate Reddit-style subcommunities into Bluesky in a "native" way. I was on Reddit *before* subreddits and it was just HN, not appealing to most. Without subreddits, they would never have reached 1 billion MAUs.

This is The Schizophrenic Problem that Twitter never solved but Reddit did. People have moods and the algorithm has no way of knowing your *current* one is. No one is going *ever* in the mood for everything. There needs to be a way to select into specific kinds of content and *avoid* other kinds.

Hi @jacob.gold would it be true to say that AT Proto should allow anyone to build a back end (and any number of user-facing products to run on it) that can do communities? I realise of course that right now the Bluesky team look like the ideal people to do this but theoretically anyone could, right?

Yes, I am building a platform for communities that lets them decide how they want to look and operate (so a one-size+fits-all choice is not dictated by the platform) @blebbit.app
