They actually do use the word “federated” to describe ATProto, but most people here understand that word to mean “ActivityPub,” so I wouldn’t. You can read more about it here.

Bluesky is actually pretty good, but the biggest issue currently is that there’s too much power centralized in the hands of Bluesky PBLLC. The less we have to rely on Bluesky PBLLC while still having full functionality, the better.

Also, Northsky is planning on launching it’s own AppView, meaning posts that would normally be hidden on Bluesky could still be available from Northsky’s client.

This is for Bluesky users who still want to be on Bluesky, but don’t want their data stored under US jurisdiction, or don’t want to rely on Bluesky’s moderation.

Reminder: there is no such thing as a “Bluesky instance.” The way ATProto works is nothing like the way ActivityPub works.

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.

Bluesky doesn’t need fediverse compatibility for PR. Most people on Bluesky don’t know what the fediverse is.

This hurts my head. Is each “subreddit” a custom feed?

For them to talk to each other, Lemmy would need to be adapted to work with BridgyFed (or the other way around).

brb opening and feature request for passkeys in Lemmy

edit: nevermind

You can store passkeys in your password manager lol

Ok so I don’t have to change browsers?

Flashes is an Instagram-style client for Bluesky.

I didn’t expect to see anyone I recognize show up here 😮

EDIT: oh wait, you’re posting from Mastodon. I thought you joined this Lemmy community.

I wish no one reminded me.

Private accounts are not technically possible at the moment because the protocol Bluesky is built on requires all interactions between users to be public (including blocks).

The developers have discussed it before, but it would not happen for a while.

TIL Mapillary is owned by Meta

Apple Music doesn’t pull this shit

Funnily enough, I actually thought those random downvotes came from lemmy.world users

I was hesitant to move this community off lemmy.ml, but I’m glad it did because posts no longer get randomly downvoted for no reason.
