Introducing Bluesky Starter Packs

Today, we’re releasing starter packs — personalized invites that allow you to bring friends directly into your slice of Bluesky!

Who can use starter packs?​

Anyone with a Bluesky account can create starter packs.

If you don’t have a Bluesky account yet, you can join via a friend’s starter pack and get started with their recommended customizations. Once you’re in Bluesky, you can add/remove these recommendations and further customize your experience.

If you’re already on Bluesky but want to onboard to another community or get your friend’s recommendations, you can also use their starter pack to add to your experience!
