X has added the ability to sort your feed into multiple topic feeds. And yes, it sounds exactly like TweetDeck (RIP). Announced Wednesday, the Elon Musk-owned platform now lets users build “Custom Timelines,” that collate up to 75 feeds on the home tab.

In an X post, Nikita Bier, the company’s head of product, revealed the Grok-powered feature, which is available in early access to those paying $8 per month for X Premium, and only on iOS (Android promised “soon”).

“It’s powered by Grok’s understanding of every post with the algorithm’s personalization — meaning every timeline is made just for you,” wrote Bier. “And it works even better when it’s a topic you already engage with.”

If you’re a TweetDeck mourner, this might sting. The social media dashboard, which let users organize their feed across topics and accounts, was rebranded as XPro in 2023 and moved behind the X Premium subscription.

Giving X users the ability to organize their own timeline topics might also address the For You feed algorithm’s lurch to the far right, though that remains to be seen.
