Surf

Surf, a browser for the open social web, gives people, publishers and creators a simple way to search for the conversations they care about or create feeds to build community around anything—from events to podcasts. Use Surf to see what people are saying on issues of the day, trends or topics you care about.

Create Surf Feeds for Your Community

People, publishers, organizations and communities can design a custom feed for themselves or others that share an interest. It takes just a few steps: Select +Create a Feed in the Surf Sidebar, name your feed, add a community hashtag and add sources like social profiles from Bluesky, Threads and Mastodon, YouTube channels, podcasts and RSS feeds. Your Surf feed can be shared on the web, serving as a resource for others or a dedicated space for conversations around any topic. Get started at https://surf.social.

Unite Community Conversations

Bring together the conversations happening across Bluesky, Mastodon, and federated Threads platforms by assigning a Community Hashtag to a Surf feed and posts from any of those networks, that use the hashtag, will show up in your feed. Now it doesn’t matter what platform your friends or fans like to use, you can see the whole community in one place.

Here’s a great one: https://allnet.surf.social/
