On Christmas Day, Bluesky, a growing social network, announced the launch of its new trending topics feature. The feature is currently in beta and available to desktop and mobile app users. This new feature keeps users up to speed on the most frequently discussed topics in the app, allowing them to participate with the most recent trends.

Accessing Trending Topics on Bluesky

Desktop users can see trending topics in the right sidebar, providing a convenient glance at popular discussions. Mobile users can access the trending topics section by tapping the search button, making it simple to stay updated on the latest trends.

Currently, the feature is only available in English. However, Bluesky has announced that it intends to improve this service over time, with additional languages and improvements coming in future versions. Users can turn off trending topics if they don't want to see them. This can be accomplished by going to Settings > Content and Media and unchecking the "Enable Trending Topics" option.

Bluesky's new trending topics are also compatible with the platform's muted word feature. If you have previously muted specific words or phrases, they will not appear in the hot topics area. This personalized touch guarantees that the feature integrates neatly with the user's choices.

Blue Sky's Competitive Advantage

While Bluesky has only recently launched this functionality, third-party programs such as Greysky have already included trending themes. Bluesky's immediate competitors, such as Threads, started rolling out the service to US users in March and expanded it to Japan in October. In contrast, Bluesky's hot topics are being tested globally, resulting in a more comprehensive user experience.
Bluesky, with over 25 million active users, is constantly improving its platform. The addition of trending themes is just the first in a series of enhancements that Bluesky intends to implement to ensure its users have a better, more interesting experience.
