   Here's a little trick for anyone reading this on BlueSky who wants longer posts.

   See the button below that reads "Original post on social. vivaldi. net"?

   Tap it to see the full post, where you'll learn how I did it 👇

   (You've probably seen other posts like this one. Here's how those posts are done.)

   Okay.

   So the fact you're reading this means you clicked the button. You're now reading a longer version of this post with a 1337 character limit.

   How I did it was by setting up an account on a different social media app called Mastodon.

   How you set it up is by going to https://mastodon.social and clicking the create account button.

   (Sidenote: This also works with most other websites that use the Mastodon software for their social media app. I use https://social.vivaldi.net, which is run by the same folks as the @Vivaldi web browser.)

   Once you've set up an account, upload your profile photo and follow @bsky.brid.gy

   BSky Bridgy is a service by @snarfed.org that makes your Mastodon posts visible on BlueSky.

   (Note: As an anti-spam measure, you need a profile photo and your account on Mastodon needs to be active for a week before your posts appear on BlueSky.)

   Once it's set up, all your posts on Mastodon will be visible on BlueSky. Including longer posts, like this one 😊
