   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).

     @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?)

     @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)

     @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

     @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)

     BeAware repeated this.
