Still looking for Southeast Asia watchers to add to my SEA Starter Pack! bsky.app/starter-pack...
Could Starter Packs be used to reverse-engineer Bluesky communities that don't yet exist?

1. create an empty starter pack for, say, Southeast Asian Politics
2. invite people to express interest in that community by requesting to join
3. presto, a curated audience, incentivizing content creation
