Looking for something that probably doesn't exist yet, but maybe someone here knows better.

I self-host both a Mastodon instance and a Bluesky PDS and I'd love to actually connect the two rather than just run them in parallel. Not a cross-poster. I mean real bridging: cross-protocol replies, likes, timelines, notifications, where an interaction on one side actually shows up as a native interaction on the other.

Is there anything out there that gets close to this for a self-hosted setup? I know Bridgy Fed exists, but from what I can tell it doesn't cover the full interaction surface and isn't really designed around self-hosted PDS + self-hosted Mastodon as the starting point.

Happy to hear about anything, experimental, WIP, half-broken. Just curious what the landscape looks like right now.

Boosts appreciated 🙏

"I want to tell you a thing that I think is true, and that I think will make you feel better.

The internet is not dying.

A commercial veneer glued on top of it is dying.

The layer where every human activity became a venture-backed destination, every destination became a feed, every feed became ad inventory, and every ad market became a machine for producing more things to interrupt you with.

Underneath that layer is another internet: older, slower, less polished, harder to monetize, and much harder to kill.

It is not utopia. It is full of spam, abandoned servers, broken clients, hostile nodes, strange old commands, half-maintained software, and people arguing in plain text about things no normal person should care about.

But it has one enormous advantage over the platforms that replaced it in your imagination.

No one owns it."

"Every day there are more creative new ideas showing up. The one thing I’m looking forward to most is when we start to break out of the “rebuilding this centralized service on open protocols” and finally get to the point where we get entirely new things that are only possible because of open protocols. This is how these things have always worked. A new medium first gets used to rebuild familiar things — almost as a way of learning how the underlying system operates. Then come the breakthroughs that are only possible because of that new medium. If I had one complaint about the entries this year, it’s that too many of them felt like rebuilding the old things, just on a protocol.

We’re already starting to see small examples, though, of what it looks like when we go to the next stage, and it’s not just “this service, but without centralized control” to “we can function entirely differently without centralized control.” That’s just starting to happen, but I expect we’ll see many more examples in the near future."

mit @fed.brid.gy von @anewsocial oder @fedisky sind diese Brücken möglich

Help! I've been thinking so much about decentralized platforms and open protocols lately that my brain has become completely decentralized itself. 🙃
Time to go touch some grass.
