Bluesky and Mastodon users can interact with each other (provided both parties opt in). I'm on Mastodon, but I see my friend's messages (he's on BlueSky) and vice versa. My replies show on up on BlueSky and vice versa.



I would love to see that work, but every time I've tried to set that up, it seems to fail. The bridges seem unreliable and non-responsive when trying to set them up or diagnose issues with them.


I use https://fed.brid.gy/

It works. It has poor documentation, though so it took a few attempts to figure it out.

For example if you don't have a profile image it won't work.


That's exactly what I've tried to get working, several times. I show up on bsky with zero posts, and I can't follow folks from bsky.


IIRC when you make a mistake and it doesn't work you have to go through a procedure to unlink your account and then relink.

It's been a year so my memory is fuzzy.

You can only follow folks who have also set up the bridge on the other side.
