Bluesky will introduce 'communities' this year, allowing users to create smaller spaces around shared interests. The feature will be built on the AT Protocol that powers the decentralized platform.
Head of Product Alex Benzer announced the upcoming feature in a thread, describing communities as spaces to "go deeper and hang out with people who care about the same stuff."
The communities will operate as a new structural element within Bluesky's decentralized ecosystem, part of what the company calls "Atmosphere"—shorthand for the broader AT Protocol environment.
Benzer outlined preliminary ideas for how communities will function, though specific details remain limited. The feature represents Bluesky's latest effort to differentiate itself from traditional centralized social networks by leveraging its decentralized infrastructure.
Communities join other features Bluesky has rolled out as it competes for users migrating from X and other platforms. The company has emphasized building community-focused tools that take advantage of its AT Protocol foundation, allowing for greater user control and interoperability.
