Welcome!
The real power of Bluesky lies in ✨Feeds✨.
Go to bsky menu > # Feeds
You can look for your hobbies, fandoms or anything else. They're custom dynamic algorithmic timelines created by other users that you can pin to your home.
A recommended one is "For You" created by @skygaze.io 😌

Building a great social experience isn't just eng—there are tons of nuanced, non-tech decisions—but the eng is necessary (and very hard). The beauty of at proto is it abstracts away a lot of the eng work so people _can_ focus on the hard non-eng work
As for who else would build? Here are some 3rd party devs who are going to be better at answering this ques @retr0-id.translate.goog @jett.ai @cooperedmunds.bsky.social @avellal14.bsky.social @mozzius.dev

Two goals:
1) For You gives you what you want; no need to look under the hood or tweak anything
2) If you’re interested, you can fully understand and control your algorithm
People trying out Bluesky expect #1–without it they’ll leave. But I hope #2 shows them this place is different & special
