Bluesky users struggle to rebuild and manage follow lists

People moving to Bluesky can have trouble finding the artists and authors they followed elsewhere, especially when their lists are large. Once there, reviewing and pruning a long follow list by scrolling is tedious, while some users also want better discovery in niches such as sports. Current approaches leave users searching or managing lists manually, and some users remain on Twitter to find the writers they want.

For social-media users rebuilding or curating their Bluesky follow lists. Mentioned from Oct 2023 to Jun 2025 on Bluesky.

  1. Okay time for the biggest pain in the ass of my life, moving from twitter to blusky and I follow so many god damn artists I doubt I can even find them all
  2. Is there a tool to manage who you follow here? I need to cull my list something fierce to improve my mental health and it's gonna be really annoying to just scroll through a long list
