Social media that's truly yours.
Bluesky is the social network that puts you back in control. You can choose your own feeds, block what you don't want to see, and connect with millions of people — all while keeping your account tied to a web address you own. It's social media the way it should be.
What makes Bluesky PDS worth launching.
Choose from thousands of custom feeds — or create your own — so your timeline shows exactly what you care about.
Use your own website address as your Bluesky username so people know it's really you.
Mute words, block accounts, and subscribe to moderation lists created by people you trust.
Create a curated list of accounts and feeds to help your friends discover the best of Bluesky right away.
Your posts, likes, and follows stay with you. You decide who sees what and how your data is used.
Follow anyone, join any conversation, and use all the features of the Bluesky app — nothing is off limits.
If you fit one of these, Bluesky PDS is probably built for you.
Practical scenarios where Bluesky PDS makes a real difference.
Use your own domain as your handle (like @yourname.com) to show clients and colleagues that you're the real deal.
Jump into custom feeds for your niche — from indie game dev to vintage photography — and connect with people who share your passions.
Invite family, friends, or teammates to create their own accounts and build a private corner of the social web.
Ditch the one-size-fits-all feed and choose exactly what appears in your timeline — from mutuals-only to topic-specific streams.
Bluesky is a fresh take on social media that gives you real choice over what you see and who you interact with. Instead of one algorithm deciding your feed, Bluesky lets you pick from custom feeds — whether that's cat photos, science news, or posts from your closest friends. You also get powerful moderation tools, starter packs to help friends find the right communities, and the ability to use your own domain as your handle. With your own Bluesky account running through OpenZapps, you get a custom handle like @yourname.com and full control over your profile. You can still follow anyone, join conversations, and be part of the wider Bluesky network — it just all starts from a space that's yours.
Bluesky is social media designed around you, not advertisers. You get to pick your own feeds, control what you see, and use powerful moderation tools to shape your experience. Unlike traditional platforms where one company decides everything, Bluesky gives you real choice. With your own account on your own domain, you can participate in the full Bluesky network with millions of other users — but on your terms. It's social media that puts the fun back in, without the baggage.
