There is still more testing and development needed, check the issue for more details.

Thanks for sharing, that’s quite exciting. I’m assuming BlueSky users can post to Lemmy instances (like other threadiverse) instances by mentioning the group actor?
In theory it should work, assuming that Bridgyfed federates the mention to Lemmy. Someone with a Bluesky account would have to test it.
Formatting is a bit weird, but it works! https://feddit.uk/post/42603656
For posts from microblogging platforms, Lemmy uses the first line as title. So make sure to keep the first line short, and put anything extra into separate lines (links, mentions, extra text etc).
I did: https://bsky.app/profile/flamingos-cant.xyz/post/3mcd423kj2c2t, Bridgy-fed wraps the entire text content of a post into a single
<p>element so the it’s being collapsed into a single paragraph in the markdown conversion.Ah, worth reporting this to Bridgyfed so they keep the existing formatting.
Edit: Done
You can block BlueSky posts/comments from appearing by adding an instance block for
fed.brid.gyin your settings.You’re welcome!
Why? was there high demand to talk with ICE supporters?
What? Do you actually think Bluesky is full of ICE supporters? Most of my feed right now is full of support for protests against ICE, calls for it to be abolished, and hate towards democrat reps that are too cowardly to commit to abolishing it.
I just searched ICE and clicked top, the first two posts are some ICE Nazis busting ass on actual ice, and the third is just a post that says abolish ICE. The rest are all pretty similar.
I don’t think the site is but the people who own it are.
I can’t find any evidence of that at all, but even if it is true, that still wouldn’t mean federating Bluesky has anything to do with a high demand to talk with ICE supporters.

Today (a couple of days after your post), ICE now has a verified account on Bluesky.
Like the other US gov accounts that are on Bluesky, it sucks that they’re their and get verified, but Bluesky is a US based company. If they refused to verify or outright banned those accounts, I think its really likely they’d face legal threats from the Trump regime, similar to CBS. I dont think those threats would be valid, but that lately our courts do not care.
ICE is already the third most blocked account, with nearly 100k blocks and only 330 followers, the majority of which seem to be following so they can ratio them in the replies whenever they decide to post. I think this kinda supports my point that federating with Bluesky is definitely not going to be flooding us with pro ICE users.
Thanks to moderation lists they were blocked by a massive amount of users they even knew they had made an account, essentially leaving them with just a void to post into.
also, one of the people on the team infamously went against a woman talking about her husband being ICED. if you search around it’s fairly easy to find.
