Interesting.
Same as for Twitter, ideal would be for people to move to Lemmy Mbin Piefed, but if they can at least leave Reddit, that's good

MODERATORS
It's my understanding that people are working on Instagram, TikTok and Reddit equivalents using the AT protocol but I suppose these apps (which filter Bluesky content) are helpful if they get someone off the Big Web although they seem far less functional than dedicated services - Pixelfed and Lemmy are far superior to all of this but if that is what it takes then it is a good first step.
Yes, and after that we'll only need 300 millions to open a second Bluesky instance π₯²
For them to talk to each other, Lemmy would need to be adapted to work with BridgyFed (or the other way around).
BridgyFed will be shut down the moment BlueSky doesn't need the Fediverse compatibility for PR
You can still use the API (Friendica does it that way I believe) although Reddit demonstrates how even that isn't reliable.
Bluesky doesn't need fediverse compatibility for PR. Most people on Bluesky don't know what the fediverse is.
They are luring people interested in federation by pretending ATProto is federated without saying that the cost of running an instance is prohibitive.
Posts about ATProto pop up every week in this community when people ask why people here aren't considering it instead of ActivityPub
There is on-going work to lower the cost of operating a Relay. The information about the proposals is pretty technical, so I'm not going to post about it here until they have an official announcement.
Posts about ATProto pop up every week in this community because it's my community, and I share news about it. I'm sure the subreddit is more active, but I don't like Reddit, so I'm here.
This hurts my head. Is each "subreddit" a custom feed?
