Bluesky, backed by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, has recently announced a major update to its platform, replacing the existing 'What's Hot' feed with a more dynamic 'Discover' feed. The company aims to enhance the user experience by providing a customized feed that evolves over time based on individual preferences while still offering insights into the latest trends on the network.

The new Discover feed is designed to cater to users' interests and will combine a global view of trending topics with posts from accounts users follow and accounts connected within their social graph. The initial version of Discover takes algorithmic choice into account, allowing users to easily remove feeds they don't find appealing and discover and install new feeds that align with their specific interests.

Bluesky is committed to continuously improving the feed algorithm to ensure a steady stream of engaging content that refreshes frequently and aligns with users' evolving preferences. This emphasis on personalized content delivery sets Discover apart from the previous What's Hot feed, providing users with more control over their social media experience.

Additionally, the company is actively working on enhancing the search and discovery capabilities of custom feeds, as well as refining the developer experience to encourage further innovation on the platform.
