Hey Bluesky users!
I’m on Mastodon. I like it here; it’s neat! But I know folks on Bluesky I’d like to follow, preferably* from* Mastodon.
And I can! ***If*** they give permission. So if you want to let me and other Mastodonians follow your Bluesky account, here’s how.
This link goes to a special Bluesky account profile: https://bsky.app/profile/ap.brid.gy
If you click on the link, you’ll see the profile. If you then click the profile’s “follow” button, that will give me and others from Federated services like Mastodon permission to see your posts and follow your *Bluesky* account.
That’s all there is to it. You don’t need to know anything about Mastodon, or have a Mastodon account; you’re done! We can now follow you and see your posts.
If *you* want to follow *me* from Bluesky, you can do that already. You don’t have to do anything special, because I gave *my* permission a while ago.
Here are my account profiles as seen by Bluesky users:<li><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/moira.mastodon.murkworks.net.ap.brid.gy">My Mastodon account</a></li><li><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/solarbird.solarbird.net.ap.brid.gy">My Wordpess blog, which is my same bullshit, but in longer form</a>.</li>
These act just like Bluesky accounts to you, but I’ll only see your replies if you give permission like I described above. Otherwise, I won’t see anything.
And that’s it! So… welcome to the world of non-billionaire-hijacked social media. Let’s make some connections!
