Questions/Support/Bugs When people reply with just a pushpin 📌

Beginner question — What is the purpose when people reply with just a pushpin 📌?

Is it just for their own personal use (maybe they can search in their own replies?)

Or is it being “found” by other services? Like getting added to a feed? And what might those be?

Or something else?

Hi there, nope, that is a bookmark

Since Bluesky allows the use of custom algorithms and did not had a bookmark core functionality, someone created a feed that shows posts where you reply with a pin! Basically your own bookmark

Cool right ?

There are a ton of similar app that augment or just add func things, you can check for bluesky directory or blue sky apps

Awesome.

I feel that there are great services / feeds that folks have created that I have absolutely no awareness of.

Thanks for the screenshot so I can hunt that one down.

Do you have other favorite feed services?

I just started myself, so no real favorites, but i browsed directories like https://www.growbluesky.com/ to find some resources.
