Stupid question that I presume everyone else here knows the answer to, but: is there a good/easy way to cross-post to Mastodon and Bluesky? As in, doesn't require a degree in computer science or more than 3 brain cells
@Ciaraioch Haven't tried it yet, but I seen someone else mention they were using openvibe.social to see everything in the one place, seems to do crossposts too.
If you follow @bsky.brid.gy then your toots will also appear on BlueSky, but truncated if they're longer than 300 characters (I do this). BlueSky users will then be able to follow your Mastodon account, but you won't be able to see interactions from BlueSky users unless they also bridge their accounts.
From the other direction, if your BlueSky account follows https://bsky.app/profile/ap.brid.gy your BlueSky posts will appear in the Fediverse
@Ciaraioch Yeah, OpenVibe is okay. Some times hashtags don't crosspost properly but that's about it. I still find it easier to read on separate apps and only use that for posting.

I'm giving https://openvibe.social/ a try. Crosspostings to Mastodon, Bluesky and Threads is possible, (Nostr also). Mastodon and Bluesky are shown in one timeline, Threads might follow.
Bridgy is a nice idea but you will only reach those, wo follow bridgy and your bridgy-build mirror-account. That's not the easy way.
Feel like Mastodon is the salad that you know is better for you, while Bluesky is the triple-decker double bacon cheeseburger that's enjoyable in the moment but that you'll 100% regret later
@Ciaraioch sure look, the practically antiviral design of Mastodon is fuckin hard to do professional stuff on - apart from professional Linux stuff probably, but otherwise
@Ciaraioch I think of it more as Bluesky being like Mickey Mouse - lots of money, the people behind it are *really* not the kind of people you'd want to be alone in a room with, and the whole package is very bland and corporate.
@davey_cakes I think that's what it basically boils down to with most social media now when you use them for creative work etc, very aware they've a lifespan and likely to get Bad sooner or later, but you just have to make do with what you're given. Exhausting, though. It is nice to have this one, regardless.
@Ciaraioch why does it give me vibes of that Simpson's episode where Mr Burns decided to setup a 100% sustainable recycling business? I hope I'm wrong, but… tech bros…
