I wrote about the importance of tools that bring different platforms and protocols together and how I believe that's the future of an open social web owned by people, not platforms.

Bridges & The Last Network Effect

We don't have to enclose ourselves in walls of our own making or force users to understand the nuances of every platform and protocol. It's time to give people tools that empower them to make decision...

Watching folks who had the same idea make it happen, and so quickly, has been neat to watch.

Shot you a DM, but maybe better to post here for others as well:

A good way to check if someone is bridged regardless of handle is to either check for bridgyOriginalUrl or the bridging label: pdsls.dev/at://did:plc...

Oh, I'm getting this on posts made on the same PDS as well. A couple of people have reached out about trying to reply to me and getting a "this post is deleted" error. Might be different things then!

I'm seeing the same issue on my self-hosted PDS too 🤔

That's more cross-posting/cross-sync than it is bridging. We have a post up on our blog that explains the difference: blog.anew.social/bridging-vs-...

Bridging vs cross-posting

When we talk about what we do here, one topic that comes up often is bridging vs cross-posting. They’ve both been around for a long time, and they’re similar, but they’re different in some important w...

Bounce Lets You Ghost Mastodon and Take Your Fans to Bluesky (Or Vice Versa)

Bounce 2 is launching Oct 20, letting Mastodon users jump to Bluesky without ditching their follower list

Users can migrate or merge accounts—fans come with you, posts don’t

You will be able to move in either direction

Thank YOU for making this!

Anuj Ahooja @quillmatiq.com · 2h

In this case, we migrate your Mastodon account *into* Bridgy Fed; if you already bridged your ATProto account, we merge it into your existing bridged profile.

Really cool to see @tynanpurdy.com create this combined feed across networks!

This is the future we imagine at @anew.social: regardless of the platform, tool, or technology you use, you should be able to find and connect with your people.

People, not platforms.

I'm doing an AMAA, ask me anything atproto, for the rest of the day. Got a question you've always wondered about ATProtocol and the atmosphere? Ask below and I will do my best to answer or at least point you in the right direction! As always there's no dumb questions, we all started somewhere.
