People on ActivityPub-powered platforms like Mastodon, and Bluesky, which uses the AT Protocol, can now follow each other, see posts, like, reply, and repost them, thanks to the work of @snarfed.org@snarfed.org, creator of Bridgy Fed. @Sarahp interviewed him for Tech Crunch about the future of bridging networks, how to bridge your account from the fediverse to Bluesky, and what to expect when you do.
I don't know whether this is good or bad. I'm sure some "simple" people will be vying for your attention because of it. You can still proceed in the Fediverse as before.

I should be able to follow #Cara users from my Mastodon account. You can't convince me to make yet another account in a yet another silo, but I'd love to see and share more art in my home feed. Anyone have a connection to their team? Would love to chat about the #fediverse.
Happy Wednesday to all of you around the #Fediverse today!
Let's all discuss what our day has in store for us or what we've already accomplished.
For me, it's back to work after a week of vacation, so the Nova inbox is FILLED UP with about 600 emails. Much lower than I expected, so I'll be working on that for a bit and then a meeting at 2pm EST which will be good.
Tonight is Fortnite with friends possibly and then just resting and relaxing.
Tomorrow I'll be participating in a webinar on #privacy and the #fediverse organized by Privacy Laws and Business. I think it's an important issue -- I hope we spend more time talking about this topic.

Impressionistic seascape in soothing, cheerful colors. Squint a bit and see if you can imagine the ocean on a warm day. Waves are rolling in, mountains anchor the horizon line, and a small island anchors the right side.
Reminder: #Fediverse#Developer Network meetup in about 12 hours: Wednesday June 5th at 9:00am pacific.
You are all invited, particularly if you are a #developer new to ActivityPub and the #fediverse, or if you have an existing implementation and are interested in the first round of test results from @feditest!
Taking some personal days to re-evaluate stuff and think about the future of Operation: Puppet.
The more time that passes, the more I want to invest my time in the #fediverse and the #indieweb. I have a tiny following here but the corpo web is such a dystopian steel wall that at least here there’s a path forward for regular folks.
So in the quest to purge as many shitty services from my life as I can, how are the alternative federated Reddit alternatives going these days? Did any of them get any traction? #fediverse
Friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse, for those who may not have heard, we recently lost Mike Karels - @karels - a truly significant figure in the history of our favorite operating systems. Among our BSD Cafe community, we have his niece - @kristin_charlotte
Let's show her family our warmth and gratitude for the role he played.
