I found it confusing. For one thing, it asks me for my Mastodon account. Though Akkoma uses Mastodon’s API, not all sites recognize this nor support it—I don’t know if BridgyFed would reject.
Secondly, it’s not clear how to opt in. I think I opted in but there was nothing to say “Congrats! People from #Bluesky can see you!”
Also, how do I receive #Bluesky posts? That’s not apparent to me.
@atomicpoet@fediversenews Akkoma seems to be a little bit broken for the time being, although the situation seems to be improving.
Basically: on the Fediverse side, you need to follow @bsky[email protected]. Right now, the follow seems to be at least a little bit broken with Akkoma, stuck in the "Awaiting Approval" state. But, the profile still shows up on Bluesky's side.
Unfortunately, Bluesky users have to also opt into the bridge in order for you to see them. Unless we can get the Bluesky team and a bunch of accounts to opt into it, we might not be able to see many people on this side.
Happy Birthday to the oldest fediverse server project that is still actively maintained. This marks the beginning of development of the Mistpark decentralised social network. We decided not to wait for "quit Facebook Day" in 2010 (May 31). We hit the ground running and haven't looked back. (Mike Macgirvin) 14th Birthday #Friendica!
