I was in Brainerd where we had about 2000+ for #NoKings. Stopped in Aitkin, Minnesota (a much smaller town) where there about 250.

I've been away for a while. This winter I've been taking drone photos at a much reduced rate and haven't posted any for a while.

Need to get some momentum going before spring, the second best time of the year for drone photography.

Came here about an hour ago to post this. Finallly, getting to it.

I just like the symmetry, shapes, and patterns in this image. I also find that red barns really help make a winter photo (subtly) pop.

Just posted something on my Mastodon account. Expected to see it on Bluesky, via the https://fed.brid.gy/ bridge.

It's not there. Can I tell if #bridgyfed might be down? Is that something that happens?

Previous posts appeared to have worked.

There is a bridge to Mastodon for folk who are on Bluesky, but want to follow friends on Mastodon.

I'm testing it out now.

Here is more information on how it works:

This post is being posted on Bluesky and the bridge seems to be working pretty well.

I'll quit with the silly test posts now.

I love the TV Show 'The Bear', but I can't convince myself to watch season 3. It just feels like a show that you need to be in the right mood for and I'm never in the mood for that show.

I think I just need to bite the bullet and dive in.

Your regular reminder to bridge your account to Bluesky with Bridgy Fed.

https://fed.brid.gy/

And also to change instance if your admin doesn't allow it. That person doesn't understand the open web while managing a part of the open web.

Bridges not walls!

@stpaultim As far as I know, it's the only bridge. It works pretty well, the main problems are 1. Hardly anyone on the Bluesky side is using it, and 2. Bluesky has a lot of protocol limitations (short post length, and no way to edit posts!) so bridged posts are often cut off or out of date.

Anyone have experience with Bridgy Fed for Bluesky yet?

Is it useful?

Are there different bridges and if so, what is the difference?
