Today, we're announcing THREE migration-focused updates!
We now support every kind of migration on all the networks Bridgy Fed supports (including web!): into Bridgy Fed, out of it, through it, and around it, all while keeping you connected with your people.
Let's dive in...

RE: https://werd.social/@ben/116558305171093563
"Bridgy (and its parent A New Social) exists to help make the individual protocols less important: everyone should be able to collaborate with everyone else regardless of which platform they’re using. It’s the kind of thing that feels easy in the moment — but as this post proves, it’s far from simple under the hood."
Connecting protocols is hard, complicated work. But somebody's gotta do it 💪🏼

"The end result of all of this is that we grew from 2k users to almost 150k, added a ton of heavy new functionality, and still managed to optimize and cut down costs from $.15 per active user per month to just $.03 or so."

We've been launching a ton of Bridgy Fed & Bounce features, and we have a lot more coming!
We're also a non-profit run by two full-time volunteers, and majority of our expenses are infrastructure to keep it all running.

⚠️ Bridgy Fed Planned System Maintenance
This Wednesday (4/22) we have planned system maintenance between 2pm-5pm PT.
During that time, bridging may be paused, but will shortly be turned back on and backfilled for missed posts.
Thank you, and apologies for any inconvenience.

Bridgy Fed Service Update:
Between 4/5 1am PT -> 4/6 2 pm PT, Bridgy Fed had an operational issue that unfortunately dropped ~10% of actions it was supposed to bridge from the Fediverse to the Atmosphere.
The issue has now been fixed and new posts should bridge as expected. We're currently backfilling deletes and disable requests as a high priority.
We apologize for any inconvenience, and please let us know if you encounter issues with new posts.
Thank you!

Mackinac, built by @npub1r92…j3ns, is an open social web client that's thinking multi-protocol and bridging-first! John's added a *ton* of unique features we've never seen before, so we wanted to outline a few of them in a thread 👇🏼

Got the blues because your Fediverse posts sent through Bridgy Fed that are over 300 characters get truncated on the Atmosphere, and they have to click into a link?
Well, good news: starting today, deck.blue, a TweetDeck-like client for Bluesky, shows the *full* post from over the bridge - no truncation, no links!

Today, Bridgy Fed begins expanding beyond microblogging, starting with long-form 📜↔️📃
If your Fediverse blog or website is bridged, your posts will be bridged to the Atmosphere, as standard.site documents!
You'll need to take steps to be indexed by major platforms across the Atmosphere, and we've outlined them in the post and our docs: https://blog.anew.social/long-form-comes-to-bridgy-fed/

We're so excited for AltStore's launch into the open social web!
Starting today, every app listed on the AltStore will send updates to the Fediverse and bridge those updates to the Atmosphere via Bridgy Fed 🌐🚀
And there's even more goodies in this release 👀
Congrats to the AltStore team!

We're excited to launch our most-requested Bridgy Fed feature: being able to interact with unbridged users!
Starting today, when people interact with you on the other side of the bridge, you'll get a notification over DM along with a "respond" link, where you can like, repost, reply, or block.

Come with your questions! We're excited to chat with y'all 🙂

2026-01-19 17:24:16 UTC

For our first launch of the year, we're kicking off with more blocking features!
Rolling out today: You can now include domain blocklists, including ATProto PDS domains if you don't want to interact with bridged users from that PDS, to Bridgy Fed!
Blocks come with if you Bounce, and we even added a handy list of reputable blocklists to choose from.

2025-11-26 18:16:53 UTC

We're excited to announce that Bluesky PBC included us in a round of grants to help foster the ATmosphere! Their generous grant will support infrastructure costs for Bridgy Fed and Bounce.
We made a list of some of the other grantees and how they're helping further decentralize ATProto from Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/anew.social/post/3m6kgov7wtk2u
We're so lucky to be included among so many phenomenal builders 🙏🏼

A reminder that if the person you want to block is bridged, you can block them from your native platform. This feature lets you block not-bridged users you don't want interactions with.

2025-11-25 17:59:25 UTC

Starting today, bridged Mastodon and Pixelfed users can now use all of Bridgy Fed's blocking features, including subscribing to ATProto block lists, right from our settings page!

We have a mini launch today with two new blocking features on Bridgy Fed:
1. For ATProto and ActivityPub, you can now use the "block" DM command to block multiple users at once 🙅🏼‍♂️🙅🏼🙅🏼‍♀️
2. For ActivityPub, you can now subscribe to ATProto Block Lists over the bridge 📃🚫
