#Bridgy became quietly available for people to test, but as bridged posts started to appear, other people became aware and more people started to test and use the bridge.
To make your fediverse account available in Bluesky, you’ll have to follow this account: @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy
Flipboard curators have seen over 100,000 boosts, likes and replies from people across the fediverse since April 11. Given this positive signal from the community, today we're federating another 100 accounts representing more than 2,500 Magazines about everything from climate to culture. Read more here:
We ran a webinar on April 18 for creators and curators who are curious about the fediverse, have a federated Flipboard account, and don't know what to do next. Here's a link to the recording, plus the TL;DR bullet points if you don't have time to watch it.
When he built a bridge to connect Bluesky to Mastodon and other ActivityPub-powered platforms, @snarfed.org@snarfed.org started a new chapter for the fediverse. The software engineer opens up to @mike about his rollercoaster ride in the latest episode of Dot Social:
I think this is a good thing. Either they are a non-profit in Germany or in the U.S., but their mission stays the same.
People like to make a big fucking deal out of nothing. The new board of directors includes Biz Stone, of Twitter-fame. Just because he’s on the board doesn’t mean that the open source, FEDERATED, project is going to got to shit.
I think people just like to complain. The good thing about the Fediverse is exactly that… federation. You’re NOT stuck on one instance or even one flavor of service to stay in touch with people.
If Mastodon does go to shit, guess what? Check out the other Fediverse projects. Hell, start a WordPress blog and connect it to the fediverse.
I get why people are nervous, but is it necessary? Maybe? I don’t see it though.

Star Trek. Saw a comment somewhere else griping (sigh) about the 31st century ships all looking different from each other. Fair enough, you do you.
But that made me think. If it's the "United Federation of Planets", why are Starfleet ships all using that one basic human design template they've been using for hundeds of years? Can they not afford to paint their ships, even? No Vulcan designed ships in Starfleet? Disparate crews (kind of, a LOT of Tokenism going on) but they're built on Mars, at Starfleet headquarters, in Earth orbit etc. That feels...disproportionate.
