It bridges the gap between ActivityPub (used by Mastodon) and AT Protocol (used by Bluesky), enabling replies, likes, and other interactions to flow between the two. This makes it easier to participate in both communities while keeping your content unified. You can even use it to turn regular website interactions, like new articles or comments, into posts on these platforms. It\u2019s a powerful way to bring the open web and federated social networks together. Check out their <a href=\"https:\/\/fed.brid.gy\/\">website<\/a> to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you a Mastodon or Bluesky user?
