Ever come across a Bluesky post so good you just had to save it? Whether it’s a hilarious meme, an insightful thread, or just something you want to revisit later, bookmarking it is easier than you think. Bluesky doesn’t have a built-in bookmarking feature yet, but with a clever use of the 📌 emoji, you can create a simple and effective system to keep track of your favorite posts.
How to Use the 📌 Emoji to Bookmark Posts
Reply with a 📌 Emoji When you see a post worth saving, just reply to it with a 📌 emoji. No extra text is needed (unless you want to add context for yourself). The emoji alone is enough to mark the post as saved.
Access Your Pinned Posts Feed Here’s the cool part: Bluesky automatically collects all posts you’ve replied to with a 📌 into a dedicated feed. You can access it anytime using this link: My Pins Feed
Revisit Anytime Open the feed to browse all your pinned posts. It’s like having your very own personal scrapbook of Bluesky gems.
Why the 📌 Emoji Works
The pushpin emoji is perfect for this because it’s universally recognized as a symbol for saving or marking something important. Plus, since Bluesky organizes posts with 📌 replies into a separate feed, you don’t have to dig through your likes or reactions to find what you’ve saved. It’s simple, intuitive, and works seamlessly with Bluesky’s existing features.
Another benefit of using 📌 is how easy it makes saving posts on the go. Whether you’re scrolling through Bluesky during your morning coffee or killing time between meetings, replying with a single emoji takes just seconds. No need to copy links, open new tabs, or download third-party apps—your pins feed keeps everything in one place.
This method is also surprisingly versatile. Some users even add a little extra context when replying, like “📌 for later” or “📌 bookmarking this thread!” to make it easier to remember why they saved the post in the first place. It’s not required, but it’s a neat trick if you’re pinning lots of content.

If you want more robust bookmarking features, there’s a tool called Bookmarkr that might interest you. By mentioning @bookmarkr.app in a reply to any post, you can save it to your Bookmarkr collection. The service lets you:
