Putting the funnest part up front - here’s a Starter Pack I made a few months ago of active TTRPG accounts! It skews to players/GMs not companies, and probably if I made it today there’s more active accounts to pick from, but it’s 50 accounts I liked!
If you’re interested in housing policy, mostly in the US, and you want to follow a lot of accounts (like 140 last I checked) that are smart on the topic, here’s my Housing Abundance List! (and if you want to suggest someone good for that list, including yourself, let me know!)
And if you think “I’m interested in the theme but people post about all kinds of stuff, I just want to see stuff on topic” - here’s my Housing Abundance Feed! It filters posts from that List for housing related terms!
On to stuff I like from others! The medievalists feed from @profgabriele.com is top notch!
Similarly the Astronomy feed is great. It only shows posts from astronomers so it has a minimum of “cool photos from my backyard telescope”, some great science.
I’m not sure of the technique used but the Anthropology / Archaeology feed also stays on topic.
If you specific want to follow Berkeley Housing & Transportation topics @oscarcharlie.bsky.social has us covered in this feed. (Bluesky Berkeley volume is no where near Peak Twitter but on the plus side you don’t see the same repetitive arguments)
If you just want to see “#Glorantha mentioned” then there’s a feed for you! (I need to learn how to edit that meme - maybe @effinvicta.bsky.social has already done it)
Some feeds I’d love - if anyone has suggestions let me know: Ancient DNA Fantasy/SF artists / new art Bay Area or California housing (though my housing feed probably catches it) Economics Business / finance
Update: since I created this thread, starter packs have exploded, and someone built a great database of them: blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack...
Also I feel compelled to mention that I’m on this starter pack and I’m sure that means it’s excellent bsky.app/profile/loll...
