I'm in agreement there about the first part, although I still find some high value thread on Twitter. Was hopeful BlueSky was going to be a lot better but I'd rather not have to sift through crud on either. Hopeful one day that can be true.

I was not a big Twitter user, so this may have been possible there as well, but... I have been really enjoying the ability to create my own user Lists, and then being able to pin them to my Feeds. I have one for Astro, one for Web Dev, etc. The next feature that I really want to see is the ability to move all users in a Starter Pack directly into one of my own Lists. That's a nice way to 10x my list size by interest group. The coolest thing is that I just created a decent feature request for that, and I know it will at least be considered. Interest groups are something that I have realized is why I still come back to Reddit a lot. Nothing else does that as well as Reddit. While big Bsky Lists are not the same thing, it does scratch that same itch. I could imagine user curated Lists becoming a bigger thing on Bksy, as far as finding other user's great lists and pinning them to my own feeds.

  Do you find it interesting to browse for interests specifically on Bluesky? I'm very selective about who I follow and so my chronological feed is very relevant to me. There's a couple folks I have that push the boundaries of how activist-y I want my feed to be, but they're not so out there that I get angry (and if they are they get unfollowed.) Just curious if you find more value in the List approach than a chronological one.

    Yes, mostly why I use it. In my case, I also follow too many people for the Following feed to show me everything, by everyone. Also, sometimes I am in the mood for one nerdy topic, while other times I am in the mood for another. Apologies for missing your reply for so long.

      Thanks for the reply! I'll try the list approach myself. The Mutuals list is one of my favorites because I catch stuff I wouldn't otherwise.
