I’ve had a Bluesky account for over a year, but never posted much on it. Recently I noticed I’d gotten more followers on Bluesky and thought I might try posting there more often.
I am not moving to Bluesky. I have orders of magnitude more followers on X than on Bluesky and so I will focus my effort on X. But I expect to post on Bluesky occasionally.
I learned this morning that there is a bridge that will automatically post your Mastodon content to Bluesky. You should be able to follow
johndcook.mathstodon.xyz.ap.brid.gy
on Bluesky to see the content that I post on my Mastodon account at
johndcook.mathstodon.xyz
Note the server is mathstodon, not mastodon.
It may take some time before the bridge works. I suppose information needs to be propagated analogous to how DNS works. At the time of writing, I can see the bridge account by going to the Bluesky page for the bridge, but I’ve not yet been able to pull up the account in the Bluesky app.
Update: The bridge account is working from the Bluesky app. I’ve posted two articles to Mastodon and verified that they appear in the bridge account.
Just to be clear, we’re talking about two separate Bluesky accounts. My Bluesky account is
johndcook.bsky.social
but my Mastodon posts will be automatically posted to a separate account,
johndcook.mathstodon.xyz.ap.brid.gy.
