   • Bridgy Fed for Bluesky

   I'm followed by my first (I think) Bluesky user, and a bot account (@bsky.brid.gy) asked me to follow it to make a bridge to make following work, as I've understood.

   Can anybody explain to me why this is necessary and why the normal ActivityPub protocol is not used instead?

     @bsky.brid.gy Or is this Bridgy Fed a thing independent from Bluesky? Why is this needed at all?

     @Goffi so... @bsky.brid.gy is not directly related to BlueSky. It is created by an individual developer, but he has some support from the BlueSky team.

     Activity Pub does not work because BlueSky is not compliant with the protocol and uses its own homebuilt one (AT Proto). The Fedi Bridgy project exists as an effort to be a bridge between both protocols.
