Bluesky, the social media platform that has been gaining popularity as an alternative to X, has just introduced a new feature that lets users see what’s trending on the platform. The new feature, Trending Topics, is available now on the app and website, and it shows a list of the most discussed topics on Bluesky, along with the top and recent posts about them.
Bluesky’s Trending Topics are global, which means they don’t differ by region. However, for now, the feature is only available in English, with plans to support more languages in the future. Users can opt-out of seeing Trending Topics by tapping the "X" button or turning off the feature in settings.
The introduction of Trending Topics puts Bluesky in direct competition with Threads, which currently limits its Trending Topics feature to users in the US and Japan. The competition between the two platforms has been heating up, with Bluesky rapidly gaining popularity and prompting Meta to release new features for Threads more quickly.
The Bluesky app is available for free on the App Store, and it requires an iPhone running iOS 15.1 or later. Make sure you have the latest version of the app installed to access all the new features.
As Bluesky continues to grow, with over 25 million users now, it’s likely that we’ll see even more exciting updates and features in the future. In the meantime, if you’re interested in trying out Trending Topics, be sure to update your Bluesky app and explore what’s trending on the platform.
