I’m happy to announce that Bridgy Publish now supports Bluesky! Big thanks to Joel Otter who did much of the heavy lifting here, like with Bluesky backfeed.
We’re still working on a few niceties, eg @-mentions, hashtags, links, and link preview cards. Regardless, posts, replies, likes, and reposts should all work now. Feel free to try. Feedback is welcome!
I’ve been reading about the reaction on GitHub to your attempt to connect the AT Protocol and ActivityPub. Dude, I am so sorry. People are insane.
Khürt! Really good to hear from you, thank you for the kind words, I appreciate it.
Ahoy there! Congratulations on announcing! I know the reaction you got maybe caught you by surprise — I’ve seen similar reactions in the past to both bridging and scraping efforts so I’m not fully surprised, but I do hope that this will resolve in the right direction after a period of discussion / increased understanding in the Fediverse.
At Social.coop we have a Loomio thread about this, it’s proving interesting. Please don’t lose hope :)
Hey Flancian, thank you for the kind words! I’ve always admired what you’ve done with anagora.org. Yeah I kind of expected some blowback, but definitely not to this degree. Tough few days, but you’re right, ultimately I think it’s helping figure out the right path. Fingers crossed!
I am not a computer person, but I am very excited to hear that bridgy fed will connect fediverse and bluesky!
I’m rooting for you! Good luck!

Hi Ryan. Thank you for your work. It is amazing, as is the whole IndieWeb. I just have one small problem that is beyond my ability to solve. When someone on bluesky likes a post with a link on my WordPress blog, it just shows up as “bridgy response”. Is it possible to change it to “liked by XY”? I have looked it up, tried various solutions but to no avail.
Hi Radek, thanks for the kind words! I think you’re hitting this known issue with the WordPress plugin.
Yes. That’s it. I hope this gets resolved in time.
