You know that moment when you walk into a party, and you don’t know anyone, but then someone points you to a group that’s totally your vibe? That’s what Starter Packs are for—except it’s Bluesky, and you don’t have to deal with lukewarm party snacks or awkward small talk.
Today’s advice isn’t just helpful—it’s about finding your people, your conversations, and your favorite corners of Bluesky with a little shortcut magic. Whether you’re new to the platform or just looking to spice up your timeline, Starter Packs are the social cheat code you didn’t know you needed.
Starter Packs: What Are They, and Who Makes Them?
Think of Starter Packs as curated lists of Bluesky accounts, organized around themes, vibes, or interests. They’re like Spotify playlists, but for people:
- Into indie music? There’s probably a pack for that.
- Love weird internet humor? Yep, someone’s rounded those accounts up for you.
- Craving smart political hot takes? Boom. Starter pack.
These packs can be made by anyone—community curators, influencers, or just Bluesky users who know what’s up. Some are general starter packs like “People to Follow if You’re New,” while others are niche as heck—“Best Pet Pics,” “Hyperlocal News Gurus,” or “Users Who Live for Cryptic Posts.”
In short: starter packs are your one-click solution for better follows and a more interesting Bluesky feed.
Where to Find Starter Packs (Without Losing Your Mind)
Here’s the good news: you don’t have to hunt down starter packs on your own because Grow Bluesky has two great directories where you can find them.
- Starter Packs: A directory of curated starter packs ready for browsing. It’s perfect for discovering groups of accounts organized by interest or theme.
- Bluesky Packs: Another handy directory where you can search for and explore user-generated starter packs made by people who get what you’re looking for.
Using them is easy. Visit the directories, scroll or search for packs that catch your interest, and start following accounts that feel like your vibe. Whether you’re looking for meme accounts, dog lovers, or just cool people to freshen up your feed, you’ll find what you need.
Why You’ll Love Them
Here’s the thing: Bluesky is still growing, and sometimes it feels like you’re staring at an empty room. Starter Packs fix that. They connect you to interesting people, unique voices, and vibrant conversations without all the guesswork.
Plus, there’s something fun about finding a pack that feels made for you. Like stumbling across “Dog Lovers Who Also Post Great Recipes” and realizing—wait—that’s exactly what I needed in my life.
