@katharinehayhoe.com Yes, long-time reader too - Thank You for the posts!
I used #nowbridged as it may still help people find you - & I hope that more followers will bridge, so that their posts & replies are visible & discussions remain threaded. Choices need not be exclusive!

Cool way to track the progress of #bridgyfed, bridging between #bluesky to interoperate with #mastodon and other ActivityPub powered networks. cc: @bsky.brid.gy Over 105,000 of us connecting these two open social web spaces.

It's been a few months now since I bridged my Mastodon account to Bluesky. It's not a perfect system, but I do think it's very worth doing. The good things are that it is really easy to set up, my Mastodon posts automatically appear on Bluesky without me having to do anything, and I can interact […]

"#bridgyfed is a clever bit of connective tech that allows people on Bluesky to read posts on Mastodon and the rest of the fediverse, and vice-versa.

We can't see, or reply to your comments, if you are not bridged to the Fediverse.

Simply follow ap.brid.gy on bluesky so we can see your posts.

Hi bluesky!
I strongly recommend y'all to connect your account through bridgy fed by following the @ap.brid.gy account. It will help people who are not on bluesky to follow your posts.

This is exactly why I want to help improve content connectivity between the two networks. Even if you stay with Bluesky for now, joining the bridge makes you visible to the Fediverse and will jumpstart your experience if you have to move.

To my pleasant surprise it seems that 400 of my 2,500 followers here are actually following from Bluesky. This Bridgy thing is clever. (See https://fed.brid.gy/ for more info.)

And if you've used #bridgyfed from #bluesky to make your posts show up on Mastodon, let me know. Would be good to rediscover various #music and #musician folks I lost touch with from the old place.
