Hmm. So the Fediverse-Bluesky bridge seems to work for the most part, though some posts I should be seeing didn't make it through, and I'm not sure what the problem might be.

The primary problem seems to be that it's so weird to ask folks to follow TWO accounts rather than one that almost nobody notices the second part of the request.

OTOH, the remote-Bluesky plugin for Friendica seems to work very smoothly. Right now, I'm using that as a backup to read Bluesky posts and to comment, but I'm only posting through the bridge account.

I think I will probably need to just give up the bridge and switch to remote management of an actual Bluesky account, but I feel bad asking so many people to follow it. 🙄

Also -- someone has my username on Bluesky. I have been using echoweaver for over TWENTY YEARS and it has NEVER been taken. I know intellectually that I don't own it, but it still bugs me to no end.

The account I made over there is "echoweavertoo", which is a backup Google account I made aeons ago that is now used by my kid. Maybe I should do something like celebrities whose names get gakked and be "theREALechoweaver" or somesuch 😁
