Just made a starter pack of cat accounts that post original photos with ALT text. Let me know if you know of some that should be added! Must be primarily ORIGINAL photos/content, not stuff yoinked from the internet, and include meaningful ALT text (not just "photo of a cat"). go.bsky.app/J8yqxnN

Ok, starter packs are SERIOUSLY cool. I am so happy with this feature! Thank you, @bsky.app!

Here's my v1 Astronomy starter pack: go.bsky.app/KfuFR5s

(N.B: when I'm back from holiday I'll make the list of included accounts more equitable, for now it's just people who I can remember post a lot)

good q! when you click "share" on another user's starter pack, you can right-click save their image too. guessing this is the one you want?

A "Bluesky for Law" starter pack! A first draftβ€”please let me know who I'm forgetting. I tried to start with people who post regularly and mostly post about law, but of course it's both over-inclusive and under-inclusive go.bsky.app/GBtyP1g

Well, I hacked together a Starter Pack for #KidLitArt folks! I guess you can also use it if you're already here too.

I tried to pick accounts of interest (& preferably active) here on Bsky to recommend, although the list is only half full right now -

this feature is basically "contact sharing" in other social apps you've used but explicit and with a well-defined purpose and not the app just sucking up your entire contacts directory so they can do god knows what with that data

pro tip: a certain social media site... prevents bluesky links for generating link previews. πŸ€” this is one reason why you can download the preview image directly, so you can upload it yourself. since images convey more & are more visible than a shortened link when you're scrolling

- you're connected to your professional industry through various forums, slacks, group chats, mailing lists, etc. now you can send one starter pack link to help them all find the community on bsky

- you're a newsletter writer and you use bsky to share/discuss your writing. create a starter pack for all your subscribers to find you and any custom feeds related to your newsletter subject

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

this is exciting bc now you can help your community onboard immediately to your corner of bsky! there are lots of knobs here for customization but some people just want to have it all set up when they land. totally fair! starter packs do that!

it actually saves me effort -- bluesky's moderation handles the majority of it, and then i could easily just block people from within the bsky app. adding a check for labels on top of that would prob just be a couple lines of code :)

blocked users + deleted comments won't show up on my blog, and posts that bluesky's moderation team takes down won't show up either i could add logic to not show any post that has any label on it, but i figured that was a bit too stringent for my preference
