Bridgy Fed’s Bluesky integration is now in beta, and makes it possible to connect your account from the Fediverse to Bluesky, and vice versa.

There’s still some quirks, and every bridged account has to opt in to it, but it’s a promising moment for people that want to communicate across networks.

    Lol, what makes you think it’s dying? The MAU numbers are similar to mastodon, and a lot of the science community has shifted there (for ease of use compared to masto).

      I have trouble believing that last bit. My Mastodon feed is always extremely full of scientists and Mastodon has almost 3x the active users that BlueSky does.

        truth is that everything is scattered. And different alternative social media platforms or ecosystems … fighting and competing looks a bit silly once you zoom out a little. Both fediverse and BlueSky are sitting around 1 million monthly active users … which is nothing compared to the likes of twitter and threads and IG etc.

        It would be physically impossible to say that “all of the scientists are actually on BlueSky/Mastodon”. By any reasonable approximation, they’re all on Twitter/Threads, with some experimenting with alternative social media. And those few are likely on both because they’re still interested in getting their messages out there.
