I found Tom Gauld on bluesky, but I have no idea whether this has been posted there. I found this last year, on (his website, maybe?).

I follow Tom Gauld on BlueSky now and because of the active bluesky addon bridge here at friendica.world his posts will now show up in my feed here.

in reply to Walter Vermeir • •Ah, please remind me how to follow bsky-accounts from here on Friendica - I remember that I saw it somewhere, but can't re-find it;
it was something with entering parts of the bsky twice?
(edit) I solved it (found this post)!
here we go: bsky.brid.gy/r/bsky.app/profil…

in reply to phle (@Friendica) • •Sure, I will write this in a way so this can be used in a user manual;
How to active the 'BlueSky bridge' to this Friendica instance?
When using the default webbased GUI, set to English;
Go to your menu profile settings (right upper corner).
Select 'settings'
(left side) Go to 'social networks'
Select 'Bluesky import/export'
Here you can configure the settings for Bluesky. This assumes you have an account at Bluesky.
You need to fill in your Bluesky handle. ( Like yourhandle.bsky.socia )
For the 'Bluesky app password' go to the settings of your BlueSky account . Pick 'settings'. Then 'Privacy and security' .
Create a specific password for the BlueSky addon at Friendica
.... save it. And it should work.
The first line of the section text should indicate succes. When you go later back to this section you will see at the top of that section 'Communication issues with the personal data server service (PDS): '
It should still work.
How to follow a BlueSky account?
Most easy way is to just follow people on the BlueS

How to follow a BlueSky account?
Most easy way is to just follow people on the BlueSky platform.
But on Friendica self; go to the 'contacts' section (top menu, people icon)
Left side, option 'Add new contact'
Just add there the BlueSky handle. And press 'connect'.
How to post also to BlueSky?
When you post to Friendica when using the default small compose window you have the option to select to post also on BlueSky in the tab 'permissions'. At least if you enabled that option in the Bluesky addon section.
You can also there select do post by default also to BlueSky. If you post something that is to long for a BlueSky message it will be automatically divided in several Bluesky posts.

in reply to Walter Vermeir • •Is this another thread with the same info? Can't see mine or other comments in this one...
Someone said they could follow a bluesky account WITHOUT actually having an account but just "activating the bridge", but does that really work and how??
