Bluesky users struggle to create and maintain reusable starter packs

Bluesky users who curate starter packs ask for easier ways to create, refresh, and repurpose them—from handle lists or Bluesky Lists, and into lists, feeds, or blocklists. Creators describe pack maintenance and label-to-pack setup as manual, while other users ask for missing conversion tools. One user also says they discovered they were included in a pack only after new followers reposted it.

For bluesky starter-pack curators and users repurposing packs. Mentioned from Jul 2024 to Jun 2025 on Bluesky.

  1. Is there a tool to take a text list of bluesky handles and turn them into a starter pack? Or add them to a starter pack if the pack exists but some of the names aren’t on it?

  2. I am still intending to automate starter packs for myself. It takes me having the time and energy to do it. But the manual process of starter packs suck, so I want to automate them and then they will always be up to date and work
