Meet Surf Starter Sets
We’re excited to introduce Surf Starter Sets, a streamlined experience for creating and discovering custom feeds within our app.
https://about.flipboard.com/fediverse/surf-starter-sets-make-custom-feed-building-easy/
Starter Sets offer hundreds of recommended sources to jumpstart your feed building. They’re organized around popular categories and pre-populated with some of our favorite sources from across the social web and Surf itself.
For example, the Tech Starter Set suggests top YouTube channels, podcasts, and custom feeds from people like #1 Hunter@chrismessina, @benwerd and dozens others.
To use a Starter Set to kickstart your feed, tap on “Create a Feed” and pick a category. Or, start with Custom if you need no inspiration and just want to get building. You can also publish your feed to Bluesky.

I always wanted to make a feed but didn’t know where to start. Now it’s exactly one tap away. Game changer.
Using the Surf Starter Sets gave me the same feeling as discovering playlists on Spotify, except it's for feeds. I’m a big fan of that approach.
This update came at the perfect time for me. I’ve been trying to streamline my media consumption and focus on quality over noise. These Starter Sets made it feel possible again. The moment I picked a category and saw the suggestions, I felt like I was being invited into a thoughtful corner of the web. And the fact that it supports publishing to Bluesky adds another layer of connection, it’s not just about following, it’s about being part of a decentralized conversation. This is more than a product update, it’s a cultural shift in how we curate and consume online content.
Tried the Climate and Culture categories both solid. Surf keeps getting better at surfacing quality sources.
