Social users struggle to build and maintain useful custom feeds
People who want feeds tailored to their interests find it cumbersome to create and maintain them: one Bluesky request describes an impractical list-based workaround, another says users must enter accounts individually, and another notes that keyword and allowlists go stale. Separately, some readers want less emotionally overwhelming news or recommendations that account for niche interests. The evidence supports a feed-curation opportunity, but does not establish that all these users want the same product or would pay for it.
For bluesky users and interest-driven readers. Mentioned from Aug 2023 to Sep 2026 on Bluesky, GitHub and Hacker News.

just adding a list of users doesn't work you have to enter in each one at a time on a skyfeed
For what I understand, at the moment the only way to generate a feed from a list of users is to create a "mute list" and unsuscribe from it afterwards, which is not practical at all
