miss.cabul/Shutterstock "Communities are coming to Bluesky this year," the decentralized social network's head of product, Alex Benzer, has announced. Benzer said that communities will be smaller spaces inside the one big space that Bluesky provides, where you can find and talk to people who are interested in the same topics you are. When the feature becomes available, you'll be able to create your own communities or join existing ones, post in them and get updates on new posts and responses.
Every community will have a handle that also serves as its URL, such as community-name.bsky.social or community-name.bsky.space. When you go to that URL, you'll find a custom landing page for it. Community owners will even be able to create custom experiences and add features to their home pages with apps and tools for AT protocol, the open source framework for social apps that Bluesky uses.
