Hi all! I finally got another big bit of Bridgy Fed interop working earlier today: bridging Bluesky replies, likes, and reposts into the fediverse. (Only the Bluesky federation sandbox, not real users, since federation is still months away.)
Here are example screenshots:
Lots more bug fixes, cleanup, and testing to do, but it’s nice to get this far.
Beyond development I’m now also starting to ramp up a bit of outreach. The IndieWeb and Bluesky communities are supportive, and the fediverse admins and community representatives I’ve approached so far have been generally positive, but I need to talk to more people there. Now is the right time, when I still have months to hear and incorporate feedback before Bluesky federates and I’m able to ship Bridgy Fed’s Bluesky support.
Until next time!

Ryan I am gonna dump this link into Fediverse Developers Network General the next time “something something ATP bad” comes up
I think this is considered as contraband in Mastodon/Fediverse land
@snarfed.org wow youre progressing quickly, this is awesome
@snarfed.org@snarfed.org @activitypubblueskybridge
Is it possible to have an account on the sandbox, or maybe follow your sandbox one from fediverse ?
Just to expose your test to more scenarios, so that it will be usable just after they open (which they said , it will be in early 2024)
@snarfed.org I see you perform translation between BS domains and acct: URIs. What about DIDs? Is it possible to reach BS user by DID via your bridge?
Another brief Bridgy Fed progress report: first pass at Bluesky support is feature complete! All basic interactions β user discovery, following, posts, replies, likes, reposts…
@snarfed.org@fed.brid.gy
Yes, this is positive. What I want specifically is this:
My AP posts to also show up over there on AT(This should be opt-in because a lot of other people do not want to be proxied, but Iβd wanna give it a try at least.)People can post replies to my AP posts from there and I can reply back and forth in a convoI can block individuals who behave badly or turn off the whole bridge if itβs too many
This is similar to how I am on OFTC normally but Matrix people can reach me at the bridge on
@_oftc_sandra:matrix.organd those comments show up over on my OFTC account and I donβt even have to notice theyβre on Matrix.Iβm not in a hurry to start following people who are on AT π€·π»ββοΈ even though that might be fun down the line.
Iβm scared AT will be way more toxic and twitterlike since they deliberately are designing for an algo-driven world/global timeline which is the opposite of the bubble-coziness we have here on Fedi.
