# Starter Packs Like most resource pages in this wiki right now, this page is under construction and mainly a placeholder where I can fill in information and resources. > [!NOTE] This is NOT an official Bluesky resource! > Be aware that this is a living vault, very much a work-in-progress. It is NOT meant to be a 100% accurate and finished resource. Please note that these tips are just based on my own experience. What works for me may not work for you. Feel free to send me feedback via [[Contact Debbie]] NOTE: If you're looking for Starter Packs, here's a directory of thousands of Starter Packs you can search by keywod: https://blueskydirectory.com/starter-packs/all --- ## What are Starter Packs? Here is Bluesky's [original announcement introducing Starter Packs](https://bsky.social/about/blog/06-26-2024-starter-packs). Basically, this feature enables users to create a curated list of people and custom feeds to follow. They can then share the link or QR code with others, even those who are not on Bluesky yet. Every Starter Pack comes with a link, QR code, and a preview image, to make sharing easier. Note that as of November 8, 2024, the preview image can't be edited, and will always include the Bluesky userpic of the person who created the Starter Pack. I'm hoping they eventually let us edit this preview image, since right now my [KidLit/YA Agents Starter Pack](https://bsky.app/starter-pack/debbieohi.com/3kwozp3k7ar2w) includes MY face right in the middle of the preview, even though I'm not an agent. ## What is the difference between Lists and Starter Packs? **[[Lists]]** are personal organizational tools for existing users to manage and categorize Bluesky accounts they're interested in. **Starter Packs** are curated collections aimed at guiding new users toward relevant content and communities on Bluesky. ## Where can I find Starter Packs?
