Summary

  • Social media platform Bluesky uses algorithms to determine and display content on a user’s feed, but also offers ways for users to customise what they see, including through marking posts with feedback, following more users and editing listed interests.
  • Users can also create lists of accounts they follow, which then generate their own feeds, and these can be pinned to the home screen alongside other feeds.
  • The platform’s “Explore” function provides suggestions for interests and new accounts to follow, tying these to existing follows and interactions, although some of the ties are weak.
  • In addition, users can turn off trending topics and topics in their Discover feed if they wish.
  • The level of customisation in Bluesky is making it as popular as Twitter, owners of the platform hope.
