So I broke down & joined , because that’s where the majority of journos seem to be posting. I don’t get it. You’d think they’d be more interested in the . Anyway, if any of my followers did the same I’m @nonilex.bsky.social, though I’m pretty sure whatever I post there I’ll already have posted here. ( is my primary account for sure)

Okay folks, I’m revising this post.
Using the bridge is just sooooo much easier [only have to post on one platform – ].

My bridged / Mastodon account is here ↘︎

bsky.app/profile/Nonilex.masto

If you followed me on , I posted a link to my bridged account, follow that account instead & if you regularly use bsky, boost my posts there.

If you want to create a bridged account follow @bsky.brid.gy

I just prefer Mastodon & the .

@Nonilex glad you decided to take the advice to use the bridge. Hope it works well for you.

@mastodonmigration @Nonilex So thankful you and some others are bridging from the fediverse to Bsky and not the other way 🫶

It's very depressing, and a little insulting, to be able to see Bsky posts bridged to Mastodon but not really interact with them. Unless they log back in here, Bsky users can't see our comments and likes here or respond to them. So far, most don't bother with that.

I mourn the splintering of our communities since Elmo ruined xitter

@3x10to8mps @mastodonmigration @Nonilex
I recommend putting into your profile or a pinned post something like “If you are following this account on Bluesky, you also need to follow @ap.brid.gy if you want to interact/reply.” Maybe a few people will see it.

@JJKrawczyk @3x10to8mps @mastodonmigration @Nonilex They need more than that. Seriously. They need the direct URL to the Bluesky profile they need to follow and instructions to click the follow button or they won’t do it.

Here, you can use this either as a template or just send them to it:

I tried the “just follow this user” on Bluesky people and it _absolutely did not work_ for most of them. Not even Bluesky users trying to get _each other_ to follow worked that way; I watched repeated failure and frustration roll out in front of me.

For all of Bluesky’s comprehensive search, the search UI is… bad. It doesn’t click.

Give them the profile link.

@JJKrawczyk @3x10to8mps @mastodonmigration @Nonilex (yes some of them understand these things no it’s not all of them yes yes yes. But it’s most of them.)

@Nonilex I took a different approach (with a different account to this one) and use #OpenVibe to cross post and see both my feeds in one place. Different ways to achieve the same result but thought it was worth mentioning.

@Nonilex the bridge is awesome I wish more people on blue sky would use it. as it' is so simple.

@Nonilex @mastodonmigration i've been thinking about bluesky, but this makes that decision easier... are those instructions easy or involved?

Do you have a link or some reference?
I think i want to do what you did!
