   I wonder how many people on BlueSky have enabled BridgyFed federation with Fedi and how many of those people aren't already on Fedi proper.

   Everytime I discuss BridgyFed and Threads, I can't help but feel utterly frustrated at the "opt-in" crap. If we have to teach someone about Fedi and hope they see the benefits enough to turn it on, we're gonna get nowhere fast. I have a feeling if there were stats from BridgyFed, they'd reflect this.

   I REALLY want a "All-in-one" social media account where I can interact with mainstream media and folks on other platforms, but as it sits, the implementations are leaving that very important experience behind...😩

     @BeAware@social.beaware.live the total number of users was a bit over 4000 the last time I checked (the number of followers the bridge bot has on BlueSky).

     @mackuba From my perspective, it really does seem that way. I haven't had much interaction from BlueSky users that I didn't initiate first. The ones that have interacted first, are usually people that are also on Fedi, boosting or favoriting my stuff from their BlueSky account.🤷♂️

     @BeAware the bridge account seems to have 4.4K followers (but 3.6K follows), so something on that order… obviously I don't know the answer to the second question 😉 (though I guess: most aren't?)

     @mackuba That's interesting! What are the 2nd and 3rd charts?

     @BeAware btw, I'm tracking the amount of daily posts and posting users coming over the bridge from Fedi to Bluesky, here's how it's looking at the moment: https://bsky.app/profile/mackuba.eu/post/3kvppyqptqk25 (green is Fedi, so around 1000 accounts bridging their posts daily to Bluesky)

     @mackuba Do you mean that he's going to kill the DM request feature? That'd be fucking awesome.

     @BeAware AFAIK Snarfed has the DM request mechanism on a short list of things to do now, so this should hopefully come in not so far future - I'm really looking forward to this, because I'm just gonna spam all accounts I'm following here with follow requests from Bluesky then

     @mackuba Ohhh...just DMs in general. I understand. I mixed it up with the "follow to bridge" thing that's keeping this from working as it should. That should go away at some point in my opinion. We shouldn't have to teach a lesson on why Fedi is a good thing, it should just be seen as good once it's turned on. It's pretty clear if it's just "on" why it's beneficial.🤷♂️

     @BeAware no no, I mean that it's going to be implemented ;)

     @BeAware I think it's undecided what to do about the Fedi>Bluesky direction, it *might* actually end up as auto-accept, because DMs on B are restricted by default, and he doesn't want to send public request messages

     @BeAware What I mean is, he's planning to soon add the mechanism that he promised those people in That Thread, that you'd be able to request a follow from someone on the other side and the first time someone wants to follow them, they'll get a DM from the bridge asking if they want to enable it. So it will be a bit more automatic than it is now. AFAIK this is supposed to take a form of DMing the bridge account with the handle of the target account. He mentioned this in the last status update.

     @BeAware last update from 2 weeks ago here: https://snarfed.org/2024-06-24_53250, the key part is: "opt in prompts via DM, both directions, soon"

     There's been a lot of progress in the last 2 months, basically all these things that weren't working are mostly working now.

     @BeAware one is posts per source (the more "toothy" one because of weekends), one is users per source, third is just P users from the second one (= non-Bluesky and non-Bridgy PDSes)
