Read original articleBluesky, a new social media platform, is gaining traction by offering a unique approach to user feeds that contrasts sharply with traditional algorithm-driven models. The platform features a basic chronological "Following" feed, allowing users to see posts from accounts they follow in real-time. However, Bluesky enhances this experience with additional feeds, including a "Discover" feed that showcases trending content from a user's network and customizable options like "Popular With Friends" and "Mutuals."

This modularity allows users to rearrange and pin feeds according to their preferences, making Bluesky feel more personalized.
