Genealogy Chats on Social Media Platforms - 2025 Update

In the past two years, many former Twitter users have fled to BlueSky, many to Mastodon, many to Threads. So far, I haven't heard of any genealogy chats on Threads. The most active genealogy chats (as of Dec 2025) are: 

#AncestryHour is a UK-based genealogy chat attracting folks from all around, but currently in "show up and chat" mode, without any formal moderator. It takes place on Twitter on Tuesdays, at 2 pm US Eastern (7 pm UK). It's also informally on BlueSky at the same time, so watch for the hashtag #AncestryHour. 

#GenHour, on Thursdays at 3 pm Eastern US/8 pm UK time on BlueSky. #GenHour has attracted dozens of BlueSky users in the genealogy community. Liz Loveland (who posts as ‪@trivvieliz.bsky.social‬) keeps the reminders coming every week on BlueSky. Very lively, so please join the conversation!
