Your Longform Feed Just Arrived on Bluesky

tl;dr visit the feed and pin it

If you follow any blogs or publications on the AT Protocol, through Longform, Leaflet, or any Standard Site publisher, you now have a custom Bluesky feed waiting for you. No signup required.

What Is It?

Longform Subscriptions is a custom Bluesky feed that surfaces articles from the publications you already subscribe to. When you follow a publication using the Standard Site subscription system, those articles automatically show up in this feed right alongside your other Bluesky feeds.

Think of it as your personal reading list, powered by your existing subscriptions.

How Do I Use It?

1. Visit the feed on Bluesky and pin it

2. Read.

There's no account to create, no preferences to configure, no import step. The feed reads your existing site.standard.graph.subscription records directly from your PDS. If you've ever hit "Subscribe" on a publication in Longform or Leaflet, you're already set up.

What's the deal?

Your longform follows on AT Protocol produce articles that live in site.standard.document records, not in app.bsky.feed.post. Bluesky's feed system only speaks in posts. So even though there's great writing happening across the network, there hasn't been a clean way to surface it in your Bluesky timeline.

This is solved with what we're calling a "post bridge." Every verified Standard Site article gets mapped to a corresponding Bluesky post, either one that was shared organically by the author or readers, or one our bot creates if nobody shares it within 15 minutes. The feed then serves those posts, sorted by publication date.

The result: longform articles from your subscriptions, delivered through a standard Bluesky feed. No new app to check, no separate inbox.

What Shows Up?

Only articles from verified publications, meaning publications where the domain owner has confirmed ownership through the Standard Site verification protocol. This keeps the feed quality high and filters out noise.

The feed is personalized to each reader. Your subscriptions are your configuration. Two people pinning the same feed will see completely different content based on who they follow.

Try It

Pin the Longform Subscriptions feed on Bluesky and let us know what you think. If you're not subscribed to any publications yet, head over to longform.social and explore, hit Subscribe on anything that looks interesting, and it'll start showing up in your feed immediately.

Custom feeds and longform content have made peace.

Happy reading. 📖
