I really like the idea of #federation and the goal of a large #fediverse, and so I like the idea of following some #BlueSky and #Threads accounts here.
I hear that's supposed to be possible now, but I don't know how to do it, or who to follow. Is there a "bridge" involved in the case of BlueSky? How does that work?
Anyone got any tips for me?

Nov 5, 2024, 3:54 PM@marymessall I have played around with brid.gy, which can allow some cross-posting from the fediverse to Bluesky (or reverse).
@marymessall Here's some info on Bridgy Fed. I haven't used it myself. https://techcrunch.com/2024/06/05/bluesky-and-mastodon-users-can-now-talk-to-each-other-with-bridgy-fed/
@marymessall The Bluesky bridge is opt-in on both sides, so
step 1, follow this account to opt-in: @bsky.brid.gy
step 2, wait for the confirmation
step 3, you can now find and follow Bluesky accounts from your fediverse account (but they will also need to have opted in) - search this phrase: "@bsky.brid.gy" and you'll find profiles that are Bluesky accounts to follow. You can also browse https://brid.gy/users
