I'm excited about the next release of Friendica because the BlueSky integration is mature enough I will activate it on my instance. NGL one of the reasons why is because some accounts, like @Ken White that abandoned Birdshite/Xitter for here are mostly posting over there now. Others that never left have since left it for there (or Threads). Threads I'll pick up when their ActivityPub bridge kicks in. But for the time being anyway there is no ActivityPub bridge from BlueSky. It is posts like this that I miss from Ken though :). Looking forward to merging BlueSky into my fediverse experience the way I used to be able to with Twitter. #fediverse #BlueSky #friendica #ElonMusk #twitter

I've been chatting with @Michael Vogel about this and I believe it should work like the old Twitter bridge did. That means that posts from people I follow on BlueSky will have its content appear in my timeline like fediverse user federated content. If I reply to that post or write a post from scratch over here that content will be replicated over on BlueSky as well. If I reshare a BlueSky post that will do a quote-reshare type thing with a hyperlink. It doesn't merge the two universes (fediverses?) globally though. Another thing it will be like is Diaspora federation. Like when I share a Diaspora post ActivityPub people see it as me sharing a hyperlink. Responses on ActivityPub networks don't get federated back to DIaspora. Friendica users that respond would have their content reshared back in that case since Friendica knows how to do Diaspora federation as well as ActivityPub federation. Friendica being the most expansive protocol integrator on the fediverse is one of the reasons I love it so much. #friendica #fediverse #diaspora #ActivityPub #BlueSky

@Michael Vogel Can answer that more definitively since he has done much of the work on the BlueSky addon.

Friendica acts like a Bluesky client. So you can import the Bluesky timeline and you can comment on posts from Bluesky via Friendica. But you will need a Bluesky account for that. And your Fediverse follower will not see these comments, since they are only distributed directly to Bluesky.
