📢 App Version 1.88 is rolling out now (1/3)
This update includes a set of experiments for helping new users get oriented. These include tours of the app and suggested follows in the Discover feed.
(Not everyone will see these because they're experiments.)
some example use cases:
- you're on bsky but your friend group is elsewhere. this recommends all your fave feeds/users and helps your friends onboard right to your community
Today, we’re releasing starter packs — personalized invites that allow you to bring friends directly into your slice of Bluesky! 🚀
Update to version 1.87 of the app or refresh desktop to create a starter pack. (It may take a moment for version 1.87 to appear in the iOS App/Google Play stores.)

One of Bluesky's superpowers is custom feeds. Unlike certain other platforms where we're at the mercy of black box algorithms, we control our own timelines here.
A new favourite: QUIET POSTERS, which highlights posts from those who don't post frequently, so I'm sure to see their content. 💙🦋 #kidlit
