People on ActivityPub-powered platforms like Mastodon, and Bluesky, which uses the AT Protocol, can now follow each other, see posts, like, reply, and repost them, thanks to the work of @snarfed.org@snarfed.org, creator of Bridgy Fed. @Sarahp interviewed him for Tech Crunch about the future of bridging networks, how to bridge your account from the fediverse to Bluesky, and what to expect when you do.

#BridgyFed ist eine Brücke, mit der echtes Interagieren zwischen #Fediverse-Accounts und #Bluesky-Accounts möglich wird. Allerdings nur zwischen Accounts, die da aktiv mitmachen. Wie's geht?

Das Fediverse-Profil, dem ihr als Fediverse-User folgen müsst, damit Bluesky-User euch hier folgen und mit euch interagieren können:
@bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy
Das ist ein #Bot. Nachdem man ihm folgt, folgt er zurück und richtet ein Bluesky-Handle namens @​DeinFediverseHandle.Deine.Instanz.ap.brid.gy ein. Dieses Handle ist dann bei Bluesky auffindbar, und Bluesky-User können ihm folgen. Damit folgen sie dann euch hier und können eure Beiträge auch liken, boosten und kommentieren.

Umgekehrt müssen Bluesky-User folgendem Bluesky-Profil folgen, damit ihr ihnen von hier aus folgen und mit ihnen interagieren könnt:
@ap.brid.gy
Auch das ist ein Bot. Auch er folgt dort auf Bluesky zurück. Und er richtet ein Fediverse-Handle namens @​BlueskyUserHandle.bsky.social​@​bsky.brid.gy ein. Das ist dann hier auffindbar, und man kann ihm folgen. Auch so herum kann man dann hier Beiträge von dort liken, boosten, kommentieren.

Alles weitere zu BridgyFed hier:

Und wer mich deswegen anfeinden will, kann das tun. Es wird mich aber nicht daran hindern, weiterhin Brücken gut zu finden.

När man läser ett Bluesky-inlägg som bryggats till Mastodon med och vill läsa originalet så är det bara att öppna användarens profilsida och klicka på länken till Bluesky.
Men när det gäller Mastodon-inlägg som bryggats till Bluesky så finns det ingen länk från Bluesky-profilen till Mastodon.

I detta betastadium så har bryggan sina begränsningar som gör att det är värt att gå till originalinlägget. Bluesky klipper av Mastodoninlägg medan Mastodon inte hanterar Blueskys bilder. Och bryggan klarar inte trådar, dvs. flera inlägg i följd, utan bryggar bara det första inlägget.

Obs! Detta är inte kritik, bara nyfikna observationer. Jag tycker att interoperabilitet är ballt.

Vet ni vad det roliga är?

När jag tittar på mitt nyss bryggade inlägg så finns det en länk i själva inlägget tillbaka hit. Den funktionen fanns inte igår!

I’ve made a cheat sheet for #bridging between the #Fediverse and #Bluesky using #BridgyFed.

hello, to bluesky
@hello@social.wedistribute.org avatar

It's now possible to connect #Bluesky and #Fediverse accounts together, and talk across a bridge! We get into the nuts and bolts of how it works, and what you can do to get started! #BridgyFed

@grishka @hello I’ll be honest, this didn’t use to exist on the site. I’m not totally sure wtf I toggled, but it’s unintentional.

@grishka @hello Figured it out, should be good now.

vidarebefordrade precis ett gillande från andra sidan. Det tog drygt två dygn. Jag antar att det är så här de som sköter Voyager-sonderna har det på jobbet.😁

But if #BridgyFed becomes more user-friendly, that will be a big step towards interoperability. And we can finally put this silly competition between #ActivityPub and #ATProtocol to rest.

IMO, more interoperability is a good thing.

So I just tried opting into #BridgyFed (https://brid.gy/mastodon/@atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org).

I found it confusing. For one thing, it asks me for my Mastodon account. Though Akkoma uses Mastodon’s API, not all sites recognize this nor support it—I don’t know if BridgyFed would reject.

Secondly, it’s not clear how to opt in. I think I opted in but there was nothing to say “Congrats! People from #Bluesky can see you!”

Also, how do I receive #Bluesky posts? That’s not apparent to me.

If it helps I'm at least as confused. Hopefully the light of dawn will bring more clarity

To enable and opt-in you follow this account: @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy
That will start mirroring and federate your ActivityPub account over the ATProtocol and assign a DID.

Then the counterpart for BlueSky you follow:
https://bsky.app/profile/ap.brid.gy
And it will start mirroring your ATProtocol account as an ActivityPub account.

AT to AP seems more seamless since AP has more features. Truncating long posts for example looks ugly. The plan is to thread them eventually.

Just had my first exchange across networks with @shreyanjain.net@bsky.brid.gy and it was quite seamless. I think I am officially on team bridge. #fediverse #bluesky #bridgyfed

Un saluto a Bluesky, cui mi sono appena "federato" utilizzando il servizio Bridgy Fed (https://fed.brid.gy/).
Il bridge è ancora sperimentale ma, salvo malfunzionamenti, dovreste poter interagire con me.

@Trames Mi raccomando, tra qualche giorno fammi sapere come ti trovi e come riesci a fruire dei contenuti di BlueSky

Trames,
@Trames@poliversity.it avatar

@macfranc Ti ringrazio, lo farò. Temo che almeno all'inizio il bridge sarà efficace quasi soltanto per il crossposting, ma spero che gli utenti di Bluesky mi smentiscano stupendomi con effetti speciali.

Är det fler än jag som har aktiverat #bridgyfed utan att några inlägg från Mastodon har blivit replikerade till Bluesky? Min användare finns där sedan igår, men det är fortfarande tomt.

Självklart vet jag att detta är en skakig betaversion som jag inte ska förvänta mig för mycket av. Jag är bara nyfiken på hur det funkar och om det möjligen är jag som har gjort något fel.

It seems all my original Mastodon posts now show up immediately on Bluesky, no more delays. Great progress with BridgyFed!

…or ar least most of them. Nice anyway.

BridgyFed for the Fediverse should post as threads if the post exceeds 300 characters. Now it just truncates 500 char posts and people have no idea about the rest of it without any link or context. I know it’s early, but this would be great. @snarfed.org@snarfed.org

@youronlyone@c.im avatar

@rolle Yep! I only noticed this earlier today.

I'm also thinking, if it's not possible to thread it, a link back to the original post.

It's a good future feature! ^_^

Using #Skybridge to see my Bluesky account in #Ivory to boost fed.bird.gy (#Bridgyfed) allowing me to see #Bluesky posts on #Mastodon, and vice versa. If I post something on Mastodon will it appear on Bluesky, and so appear on Mastodon, and so forth, in a mirror of infinite recursion?
