Threads is testing the option to create custom feeds for your favorite topics.

Meta has announced a new feature in Threads that will allow users to create personalized feeds to follow specific profiles or topics, according to CEO Mark Zuckerberg. This feature will make it easier to stay updated on various interests, such as favorite sports teams or technology-related news.

The operation of this option is quite simple. To create a personalized feed, users only need to search for and click on a topic of interest. Then, they should select the three-dot icon next to the search term and choose “create new feed.” This way, they can establish feeds that follow, for example, soccer or men's fashion.

Moreover, the platform will allow users to add profiles to these personalized feeds. This is done by clicking the three-dot icon above the person's profile picture and selecting “add to feed.” Users will be able to decide which feed to add that profile to, and once done, the personalized feeds will appear in the same main menu bar where the “For You” and “Following” tabs are located. However, so far, there is no option to set these personalized feeds as the default view.

In comparison, the current process of creating feeds on Bluesky requires certain technical skills, although third-party tools like SkyFeed make this task easier.

A spokesperson for Threads, Alec Booker, stated that “personalized feeds will show a combination of posts from the added profiles and search results for the selected topic,” all presented in reverse chronological order. The testing of this new feature is being rolled out to a limited number of users globally, with the expectation to expand it “soon.”

As both services, Bluesky and Threads, continue to grow in popularity as alternatives to X, it is noteworthy that Bluesky has recently surpassed the 15 million users mark, while Threads, under the direction of Adam Mosseri, gained 15 million users in just one month.
