Subfield-specific feeds allow for highly filtered views of posts on the Bluesky network. These subfield feeds will all crosspost to the main Astronomy feed, too - meaning that posts in subfield feeds won't be in isolation.
Outline
The 1.0 concept with these feeds will be to have:
Coverage of all subfields of astronomy/astrophysics, including topics relevant to amateur astronomers
About ~2 feeds per astro-ph category
Around ~10 feeds in total
Additional features not currently planned include:
Possible additional coverage of methods (e.g. a machine learning feed)
Additional fun ones (e.g. "observe with me" for live-skeeting your observing night)
Existing feeds
Astrosky - all posts by everyone in the Astronomy network (unfiltered)
Astronomy - all astronomy posts
Planned feeds
Covering science:
Cosmology
Extragalactic astronomy (maybe just "Galaxies"?)
Galactic astronomy (maybe just "The Milky Way"?)
Exoplanets
Planetary science
High-energy astrophysics (is there a better / less technical name?)
Astronomy Instrumentation
Astrostatistics & machine learning (maybe...)
Stars
I'm not sure whether more feeds (e.g. black holes, agn, star clusters) would be a good idea or if it would get too specific (and hence too diluted.) Heck, the above may be too diluted already...
Covering the more fun stuff:
Astrophotography (probably good enough as a catch-all? Could also add a separate discussion feed and keep this just for pictures, though not sure)
Space art (there may already be feeds that cover this, though)
