Social media should be centered around people, not platforms. Let's build bridges, not walls. That's why we're building Bridgy Fed and Bounce.

Bridgy Fed spotted at #IETF124!

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 📃🚫

More in our latest blog post:
Launch: New Blocking Features on Bridgy Fed
Bridgy Fed has always had a simple way to block users over the bridge, whether the other user is bridged or not. If the user is bridged, you can use your native platform’s blocking features. If the u...

Our first official Bounce from Mastodon to Bluesky! If you want to help us test like @teon.bsky.social did, give us a shout 🙂
Just Bounced! and that was awesome! 🤯🤩

I've finally consolidated my open social web presence. My Hachyderm account on Mastodon is no more, but now I'm connected my followers here :)

Thanks @anew.social, @quillmatiq.com, and @snarfed.org!

We're so excited to be partnering with @altstore.io on their open social web integration, bridging accounts from the Fediverse to the ATmosphere with custom domains so iOS developers can automatically promote their apps across both ecosystems 🌐

Traditional social media is designed to lock you in. But, you don't have to stay confined within the closed walls any longer.

Here on the Open Social Web, there's always an escape.

On Bluesky, that's Bounce by @anew.social

Today, we're launching a feature that a number of Bridgy Fed users have been asking for: notifications for unbridged interactions.

You can learn more about how we've done this while also preserving the privacy of the unbridged user in our latest blog post: blog.anew.social/launch-dm-no...
Launch: Notifications from Unbridged Users
So far, Bridgy Fed has been doing a smooth job of connecting users between ecosystems, enabling cross-protocol communication over the bridge. That said, there are limitations when a user who isn't bri...

Just joined, my 2nd Patreon membership! Congratulations on building @anew.social and ensuring we’re all connected as people, on any platform.
We're ramping up our funding efforts at @anew.social to ensure we can run Bridgy Fed and Bounce for the long run.

As a non-profit, we want to be as community-funded as possible, so we're focusing on ways to make that easier.

A quick thread about where we're at in terms of funds: (1/3)🧵
Today, we're launching $1 & $2 tiers on our Patreon so more of our community can support us!

As a part of that, we also wanted to share where our funding is currently coming from and what community funding can help lead to for the future of Bridgy Fed & Bounce.

I've been paying for Bridgy Fed myself, out of pocket, since the beginning. I'm happy to, and I'll continue to, but it's not cheap. We have big ideas and plans for the future, and funding is our main blocker. Please help if you can!

Congrats to @anew.social for launching Bounce (in beta)!

With Bounce, you'll no longer be tied to AP or AT protocol. In human terms, that means you can move your Bluesky account, and all your followers, to a different platform - like Mastodon! Helping keep the Open Social Web open.

Bounce from @anew.social is out! Right now the portability is only Bluesky to ActivityPub (Mastodon and Pixelfed) but it's only now in Beta so their plan is to have it go the other way as well!

I'm excited for this portability!
