Saying hi if you think I fit the vibe, I've written freelance for various places (Wired, NYT) and blog at https://allthingslinguistic.com

Molly, when you make your own starter pack, are you able to turn it at the same time into a list you can add as a feed to your home page? Thanks.

molly.wiki•112 days ago

they should really make a button for that, but i'll mirror it to a list.

jholston.bsky.social•112 days ago

Yes -- and thank you.

Writers/bloggers on any specific topic, or just in general?

molly.wiki•112 days ago

non-fiction, but otherwise general!

themonstersknow.com•112 days ago

Guess I sort of fit, then, seeing as how I write nonfiction about fiction.

When people write the history of BlueSky the "Starter Packs" will be a key milestone. I have been getting nearly 25 new followers a day because of them...

jeftek.com•112 days ago

I agree this is a wonderful feature. It really amplifies the network effect because pack owners can curate and help others discover good content

dennisdoomen.com•112 days ago

Yeah, me too.

adefwebserver.com•112 days ago

I came to BlueSky a year ago and the massive tech posts that I used to see on Twitter were not here. I was like 'fine, I'll just live with it'. In the past week *everyone* is-now-here!

jeftek.com•112 days ago

But unlike some other services it’s not just tech only which I appreciate. Starter packs allow you to discover people across your interests so it adds to whole experience of engaging on BS

dennisdoomen.com•112 days ago

Yep. Noticed that too. It's now the app where I post first.

andy.baio.net•112 days ago

Finally, a starter pack that I actually fit in! (If you want to include blog accounts too, that’s @waxy.org!)

Pleased to report that my masterful gambit to get people to recommend more independent writers to me was a success.
