<li class="answer"> | ||
<p>Thanks for asking! Beyond <a href="#">what Bridgy Fed is and what it does</a>, here's some useful info for fediverse instance admins.</p> | ||
|
||
<ul> | ||
<li>Bridgy Fed is opt in. When a fediverse user <a href="#fediverse-get-started">enables it</a> for a given network, eg Bluesky, it bridges their profile and posts and other interactions into that network giong forward. It doesn't bridge anything for users who haven't enabled it yet. | ||
<li>This means that fediverse users don't exist in Bluesky, and can't be followed or found in search there, until they've enabled the bridge. | ||
<li>Users enable the bridge to Bluesky by following the <code>@[email protected]</code> user, and disable it by blocking that user. When they disable it, their profile and posts are all removed from Bluesky. | ||
<li>Bluesky users can also bridge themselves into the fediverse. Unbridged fediverse users may follow them and interact with them, but those follows and interactions aren't bridged into Bluesky. | ||
<li>Only fully public posts are bridged into Bluesky. Unlisted aka quiet public, followers-only, and private mention posts aka DMs are never bridged. | ||
<li>Replies, reposts, and quote posts are only bridged if the original post being replied to, reposted, or quote posted was also bridged. | ||
<li>Blocks are bridged too. If a fediverse user blocks a bridged Bluesky user, it works just like blocking a normal fediverse user. Bridgy Fed also converts it to a Bluesky block on that end. | ||
<li>Reports aka <code>Flag</code>s are similarly bridged. If a fediverse user reports a bridged Bluesky user or post, Bridgy Fed sends it to Bluesky's moderation service as a report. The Bluesky team is then able to act on that user or post just like normal. | ||
<li>In general, bridged Bluesky users in the fediverse work just like normal fediverse users. All admin-level and user-level tools apply to them like you'd expect. | ||
<li>If a user enables the bridge and it doesn't work for them, <a href="#troubleshooting">point them to our troubleshooting docs</a>. | ||
<li><a href="https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/moderation/#limit-server">Limiting</a> aka silencing <code>brid.gy</code> or its subdomains works, but will make it more difficult for your users to enable the bridge. We also hear that limiting Bridgy Fed can result in <a href="https://www.loomio.com/d/W6tL5cvp/the-bluesky-bridge/104">confusing visibility and behavior that appears buggy</a>. We don't fully understand the details here yet, or whether we can do much about it. | ||
</ul> | ||
|
||
<p>Here are some details on our federation, ActivityPub, and Webfinger support.</p> | ||
|
||
<ul> | ||
<li>Bridgy Fed uses a few different subdomains of <code>brid.gy</code>, including <code>fed.brid.gy</code>, <code>bsky.brid.gy</code>, and <code>web.brid.gy</code>. You'll need to allow federation with all of these domains for it to work. | ||
<li>Bridgy Fed's instance actor for signing GETs (ie authorize fetch) is <code>https://fed.brid.gy/fed.brid.gy</code> aka <code>@[email protected]</code>. | ||
<li>Bridged Bluesky users are on the <code>bsky.brid.gy</code> domain. If you want to block them all and defederate from Bluesky entirely, block that domain. | ||
<li>Some web sites bridged into the fediverse will have Webfinger addresses on their own domains, eg <code>@[email protected]</code>. Webfinger requests to those domains redirect to <code>fed.brid.gy</code> and are served there. | ||
<li>Bridged ActivityPub actors are <code>type: Person</code>. Bot actors like <code>@[email protected]</code> and <code>@[email protected]</code> are <code>type: Service</code>. | ||
<li>When a fediverse user opts into the bridge, their profile and posts will be indexed and searchable in Bluesky's search even if they have the <code>discoverable</code> or <code>indexable</code> flags set to <code>false</code>. Bluesky doesn't currently have a way to opt individual users out of search. | ||
</ul> | ||
</li> | ||

The follower requirement (not new) here is interesting in that direction. Is that an anti-spam measure?
