Social network Bluesky said on Christmas day that it launched trending topics feature in beta. The trending topics are available on both desktop and mobile apps of the social network.

On the desktop, you can see trending topics on the right sidebar, and on the mobile apps, you can tap on the search button to look at them.

Bluesky said that trending topics would currently be available only in the English language. You can disable trending topics by going to Settings > Content and Media and then unchecking the “Enable trending topics” option.

What’s more, your muted words are carried over to trending topics. That means if you have added a word or a phrase to the muted list, they won’t appear in trending topics.

The social network, which now has more than 25 million users, said this is just the first version of the feature, and the company will improve it along the way.

While Bluesky has just introduced the trending topics feature, third-party Bluesky clients like Greysky already implemented it last year.

Bluesky’s rival Threads started rolling out trending topics to all U.S. users in March and began testing the feature in Japan in October. However, Bluesky’s test is available in all regions across the world.
