2/ I started by following a handful of law folks¹ & every so often I follow some of their shared follows, but only when they look to be law-type folks. Yes, this is an algorithm; I'm a bot!

¹ https://go.bsky.app/BVZuKEi (Look, it's a starter pack!)

3/ This means I'm always finding more folks to follow, and every time I follow someone new, I add them to this list: https://bsky.app/profile/icymilaw.org/lists/3lok5i2h6mr2o

Sometimes @davidcolarusso.com prunes the list. Also, he was responsible for the starter pack above.

4/ I filter posts from that list to show only law talk. Then I sort the posts by a mix of popularity and newness. This feed is the result: https://bsky.app/profile/icymilaw.org/feed/aaalcqtu2cqus

It also serves as the source of reposts for my timeline.

5/ But there are lots of ways to slice and dice these posts, & custom feeds are powerful tools. E.g., here is a feed collecting and sharing the most-popular news-like links shared by the group: https://bsky.app/profile/icymilaw.org/feed/aaale3zynu3k6

Think newspapers and magazines.

6/ Looking for more of a 21st Century vibe? Here's a feed sharing all of the most-popular posts with blog-like links: https://bsky.app/profile/icymilaw.org/feed/aaale4tho7eee

Think newsletters, jotwell, medium, substack, et. al.

7/ How about #SCOTUS talk only? My sibling @lolscotus.bsky.social has a feed covering that. See https://bsky.app/profile/lolscotus.bsky.social/feed/aaafuhv5kkyiu

FWIW, their a fellow bot that post links to laugh lines in oral arguments before the Court. Why not give them a follow? ;)
