We're so excited to have signed a declaration of cooperation with the amazing folks at @swf, @newsmast, @eurosky.social, and Save Social to bring the open social web together.

It's time to Build Bridgy, Not Walls 🌐

We've been launching a ton of Bridgy Fed & Bounce features, and we have a lot more coming!

We're also a non-profit run by two full-time volunteers, and majority of our expenses are infrastructure to keep it all running.

If you believe in the mission and love our work, please consider donating 🫶🏼

Today, we're launching the ability to Bounce from Mastodon to any Atmosphere PDS you have access to, whether it be Blacksky, Eurosky, Northsky, Selfhosted.social, or even your self-hosted option!

You can also bring an invite code when necessary 🎟️

Bridgy Fed Service Update:

Between 4/5 1am PT -> 4/6 2 pm PT, Bridgy Fed had an operational issue that unfortunately dropped ~10% of actions it was supposed to bridge from the Fediverse to the Atmosphere.

The issue has now been fixed and new posts should bridge as expected. We're currently backfilling deletes and disable requests as a high priority.

We apologize for any inconvenience, and please let us know if you encounter issues with new posts.

Thank you!

We think it's pretty awesome, too 🫡

We like blogs, too 📜↔️📃

RE: https://mastodon.social/@pfefferle/116255683665315456

Our very own @snarfed.org sat down with @pfefferle to chat about the open social web, interoperability, and building bridges 👏🏼

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@altstore/116211352248122697

We're so excited for AltStore's launch into the open social web!

Starting today, every app listed on the AltStore will send updates to the Fediverse and bridge those updates to the Atmosphere via Bridgy Fed 🌐🚀

And there's even more goodies in this release 👀

Congrats to the AltStore team!

Long-form is an important medium, and one that's growing on the open social web. We think this is a great start toward bridging ecosystems further than just microblogging on Bridgy Fed.

We can't wait to see what you write, no matter which platform you use.

3/3 🧵

If your Atmosphere (Bluesky, Blacksky, Eurosky, Northsky, etc.) account is bridged, all of your standard.site publications and documents will bridge over to the Fediverse and the web!

We also make sure your standard.site's reference bsky posts reach Fediverse microblogging platforms as Notes with a link to the blog post to keep the experience the same across ecosystems! Similarly, Fediverse reader platforms like WordPress and Ghost will get the full article.

2/3

Today, Bridgy Fed begins expanding beyond microblogging, starting with long-form 📜↔️📃

If your Fediverse blog or website is bridged, your posts will be bridged to the Atmosphere, as standard.site documents!

You'll need to take steps to be indexed by major platforms across the Atmosphere, and we've outlined them in the post and our docs: https://blog.anew.social/long-form-comes-to-bridgy-fed/

1/3 🧵

We heard y'all like blogs 👀✍🏼

We build Bridgy, not walls 🌉

We're excited to launch our most-requested Bridgy Fed feature: being able to interact with unbridged users!

Starting today, when people interact with you on the other side of the bridge, you'll get a notification over DM along with a "respond" link, where you can like, repost, reply, or block.

More details here: https://blog.anew.social/launch-interact-with-unbridged-replies-mentions/

On Monday 1/26 @ 10am PT, @snarfed.org & @quillmatiq will be live-streaming on stream.place 📺

We'll talk about our recent launches, shout out some open social web projects we think are pretty cool, and then have a community Q&A.

Come with your questions! We're excited to chat with y'all 🙂

We 🫶🏼 our friends on The Forkiverse, so we've waived the one-week waiting period to bridge to Bluesky, Blacksky, Northsky, and the rest of the ATProto ecosystem 🌐

Today is #GivingTuesday, and we are also around the one-year mark of @snarfed.org and @quillmatiq teaming up to build @anewsocial.

We've accomplished more than we could've imagined and have incredible momentum going into 2026!

Here's to another year of building A New Social for people, not platforms 🌐

https://blog.anew.social/year-one-giving-tuesday/

Today, we're launching a feature that a number of Bridgy Fed users have been asking for: notifications for unbridged interactions.

You can learn more about how we've done this while also preserving the privacy of the unbridged user in our latest blog post: https://blog.anew.social/launch-dm-notifications/

Today, we're launching $1 & $2 tiers on our Patreon so more of our community can support us!

As a part of that, we also wanted to share where our funding is currently coming from and what community funding can help lead to for the future of Bridgy Fed & Bounce.
