You Can Now Bridge Fediverse and Bluesky Accounts
wedistribute.org
Bridgy Fed's integration between Bluesky and the Fediverse is now in public beta, and you can try it for yourself!

Bridgy Fed’s Bluesky integration is now in beta, and makes it possible to connect your account from the Fediverse to Bluesky, and vice versa.

There’s still some quirks, and every bridged account has to opt in to it, but it’s a promising moment for people that want to communicate across networks.

      Lol, what makes you think it’s dying? The MAU numbers are similar to mastodon, and a lot of the science community has shifted there (for ease of use compared to masto).

      I agree, however in the same spirit of email I would be pissed if Gmail blocked AOL or Yahoo suddenly someday “coz reasons” – I prefer to stick to the ‘federate all the things’ plan – let the baddies fail because they suck

        i have no problem with the concept of more than one website.

        i vote no on federate all the things.

      Bluesky is growing rapidly while ActivityPub growth is stagnating. I expect BS to grow beyond AP this year. People I used to follow on Mastodon have moved over to Bluesky, so I had to create an account there.

      Personally, I like the ability to follow people who don’t necessarily know how to install Linux. I’m glad techies seem to slowly move towards ActivityPub related services, but the general public doesn’t seem all that interested. Plus, federation between services is the whole point of the fediverse!
