@dansup My Pixelfed account is bridged to Bluesky and it's amazing. I link to it from my Bluesky profile and occasionally repost some of my photos to my broader Bluesky audience. But it was non-obvious to do this. You could make it the default.

@mike @dansup the bsky bridge was originally opt-out, but there was an outcry and it was changed to be opt-in. Its pretty simple, just follow the bridge! I don't think its pixelfed specific, so I don't see how dansup can do anything.

@QuadRadical @dansup Very, very few people know how to do this or even that they can. Only fedi savvy folks know about the bridge and that's a tiny subset of photographers who want to share photos on the social web.

@mike @dansup Sure, and thats a good place for guides, but my statement still stands.

Bridgy Fed creator thinks about making BlueSky side opt-out, you can participate in the discussion if you wanna

Planning to do this too as soon as my self-hosted instance is 2 weeks old (end of January, I set a reminder on my phone) 🤗

@mike @dansup Please excuse my ignorance. Is this bridge for following people on Blue Sky, the other way around or both? How do I use it?

@progressivecat @dansup Both. To use it you just follow @bsky.brid.gy from your Mastodon account. After that, people on Bluesky can find and follow you and reply to your posts.
