One really interesting innovation that Bluesky supports right now is custom timelines. You can paste a URL into the app of any webserver hosting a custom timeline and have it available as a tab. This lets people make and share custom timelines using different recommendation and personalization strategies.

I'm hoping some easily-supported competition for timeline algorithms helps people figure out how to make ones that show content we really want instead of click bait and outrage bait.

Yeah custom TLs have a lot of promise and might be the most interesting feature among all the clones. It's a big ask to (new) users to curate our experience and having turnkey options could really make it easy to get the specific type of value we want right away. I hope they lean into it a lot more in the design.
