Bluesky’s rapidly growing community has been expanding exponentially, and with it, the need for users to create curated lists of their favorite accounts. To help alleviate this process, a new tool called Pack2List has emerged, allowing users to quickly convert any person’s recommended set of users from their Starter Pack into a Bluesky List in just a few steps.
What are Starter Packs and Lists?
Before diving into the features of Pack2List, let’s take a moment to understand the difference between Starter Packs and Bluesky Lists. A Starter Pack is a quick way for users to follow a group of people en masse. It’s meant to be used as a starting point for discovering new accounts, similar to how you might use a "who to follow" list on other social media platforms.
On the other hand, a Bluesky List is a curated group of accounts that a user has created specifically for their own purposes. This could include following people they’re interested in, blocking those they don’t want to see, or even creating lists for specific topics or communities.
The Benefits of Using Starter Packs
Starter Packs have been an effective way for Bluesky to grow its community and network connections. Unlike Meta’s X competitor, Instagram Threads, which inherited a massive user base from its parent app, Bluesky has relied on its users to curate its network through Starter Packs.
These packs are available in various categories, including popular accounts, trending topics, and more. They provide an easy way for new users to discover interesting content and follow relevant accounts without having to search manually.
