New in the Shortcuts Library: Bluesky shortcuts

These shortcuts for Bluesky work on the web and the app – jump directly into any section. Plus, build out your List dictionary.

I’ve just added a new folder to the Shortcuts Library — my set of Bluesky shortcuts for accessing the different parts of the Bluesky social network.

Use these to switch to different tabs in the app or on the web, access your Lists, and open any profile:

  • Open Bluesky Search: Opens the Search page on Bluesky where you can enter your query, find suggested accounts, and discover new feeds.
