🔥 Introducing Follow Packs 🔥 So, maybe you've heard about Bluesky's popular 'Starter Packs'. BS users can create lists of accounts others can follow with one-click. Well, we don't have this capability, but here is a way to follow entire lists of accounts. Not quite as convenient 🤷, but you can import packs of accounts, and you can add them directly into lists! 👀 **Update 12/22/2024: New AVGeek, BrazilFalantes, Humor, MostlyDogs, and Weather packs!** read on... 1/3 #FollowPack #StarterPack

Admittedly fiddly, but one of the really nice things about these is that they import directly into a list. Not sure if Bluesky has this capability, but actually for organizing your follows it is great!
Very interested in getting feedback from the community and coordinating with others to generate and promote Follow Pack lists.
Understand that it'd be better to have these things integrated into the UI, but it is what we can do now. 🤷

So folks, been experimenting with these new Follow Packs, and gotta say they're working pretty well.
One nice thing, if there are accounts you already follow the import will add the account to the List, but of course not duplicate it. So, if the account is already in another list, no big deal, now it's just in both lists.
Also, if you don't like the list title, just edit it. And if you don't want them in a list at all, just delete the list.
