solarbird | Hey Bluesky users! (Reply)

I’m on Mastodon. I like it here; it’s neat! But I know folks on Bluesky I’d like to follow, preferably from Mastodon.

And I can! If they give permission. So if you want to let me and other Mastodonians follow your Bluesky account, here’s how.

This link goes to a special Bluesky account profile: https://bsky.app/profile/ap.brid.gy

If you click on the link, you’ll see the profile. If you then click the profile’s “follow” button, that will give me and others from Federated services like Mastodon permission to see your posts and follow your Bluesky account.

That’s all there is to it. You don’t need to know anything about Mastodon, or have a Mastodon account; you’re done! We can now follow you and see your posts.

If you want to follow me from Bluesky, you can do that already. You don’t have to do anything special, because I gave my permission a while ago.

Here are my account profiles as seen by Bluesky users:

These act just like Bluesky accounts to you, but I’ll only see your replies if you give permission like I described above. Otherwise, I won’t see anything.

And that’s it! So… welcome to the world of non-billionaire-hijacked social media. Let’s make some connections!
