If I go to your homepage there's a long list of feeds. Are you saying that you want to pin one of them to the homepage? A media org can already create a set of feeds that are 1 click from the homepage, you want to pick one as the hero feed?

Not quite. The flow would be: You're the NYTimes - you have a diverse audience that comes to you for many reasons. Today, on Bluesky, when you, the dedicated reader, visit their profile page, you are presented with the "posts" tab - for large orgs particularly, this is all algorithmically determined

Products like Hootsuite "read the room" and determine the "optimal time" to post (or indeed create a new post of the same content) from the account. When you look at a profile page for a large media org, the result is pretty thematically disjointed. Additionally, orgs have no way to know who's there

It does many things at once: 1. A clear "show don't tell" of the entire pitch of ATProto, 2. Turns what has otherwise been a high traffic dead zone in social for 20 years into a space for rapid experimentation, 3. Creates incentives for becoming BSKy first (i.e. news rooms can sell direct),

What does "newsrooms can sell direct" mean

4. Because of getFeedSkeleton, quickly becomes an exportable asset that can reach out to the open web, 5. Creates a built-in flywheel for audience sorting into feeds, 6. Is.... fucking trivial to do? I feel insane that this hasn't been done yet. @alexbenzer.com begging you to revisit

@danabra.mov here's a cheap fix ^

No disrespect, since you've put a lot more thought into this than I have, but my reaction to this is "please do not do this". If I visit a feed, any feed, I want it in rev chron. A big media site could create a separate feed, say, "Today's top stories". Or could bump stories on their main feed. 1/2

2/2 Also, if it's a news org, and I wanted them to curate stories for me, why wouldn't I just go to their website? Or subscribe to one or more of their newsletters?

No disrespect taken! I think the implementation would be just another tab to the left of "posts" named whatever they want. That's it really. Still low friction to jump to posts, opt-in for media orgs to use, etc

i would absolutely love to have my default feed showcase the video projects and event highlights instead of my most recent posts there is a large creator market salivating for this feature

I've seen a few artists doing that: creating their own feed to showcase their art as they desire, and having a link for it in their pinned post sometimes or inside their bio Being able to really add it to their profile would be huge Similar to the portfolio tab you can do using Flashes
