@FediTips can I drop a Question here? How do I link to BlueSky. I know there’s a way but I can’t seem to figure it out. New to Fediverse. Thank you.

@moonandbaboon

I'm sorry, I don't provide Bluesky support, the people who run it seem a bit dubious (https://social.growyourown.services/@FediTips/113364985280012085) 😦

@moonandbaboon Just follow @bsky.brid.gy, and you'll be good to go! Easy as that. :)

@brekke so…whatever I post here will show up on BlueSky? I’m not sure if that will merge with my existing account over there. Or will it go through a bot feed as Mastodon account lurking on BlueSky… I have an active account on there already. Someone posted a link. Maybe I need to read that. Thank you.

@moonandbaboon Your account here is now also visible on Bluesky:

https://bsky.app/profile/moonandbaboon.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy

If you post something on Mastodon, it will also pop up there. If bridged users comment, it will show in both places. Unfortunately, if non-bridged bluesky users comment there, you will see nothing here.

If you already maintain a Bluesky account, you might see few benefits to this. You can block the Bridgy profile to deactivate the bridge. :)

@brekke I think you are right. I’ve maintained a BlueSky account and now it looks like there is a fake me on there. 😂 they don’t merge. It would make sense to have done this at the very beginning. Like the ship has sailed and now it seems confusing to me and for people. That sounds about right. Right?

@moonandbaboon I'm not sure how often people search for you specifically, but of course, there's a risk they'll follow the "wrong" profile. And if you post the same things both places, it's effectively pointless.

If you decide one day to abandon one site or the other, enabling the bridge is a nice service to whoever is left on the other site. But as long as you're using both, there's indeed no need. :)

@brekke totally tracking. Thank you sooooooo much. People start to complain about bots. I don’t think anyone will bother to read. Oh. This is a bridged account. Many don’t know what it is. Myself included. Seeing the same profile photo twice is a red flag. I thought bridging will simplify things but for my case, it will complicate things. For now anyways. Thank you again.
