Christopher SchmidtThere has been a significant shift in people to Bluesky in the past few weeks. Because I am 100% the type of person who uses social media for the dopamine hit that I get from posting there, regardless of how badly I feel about that from a rational perspective, I expect that this will result in me posting more there. You can follow @crschmidt.net to see that content mirrored on the fediverse.
@crschmidt.net (I haven't exactly been active on Mastodon or Bluesky; my most recent set of posts has been half just testing out bridgy to make sure it's working. But social networks, as implied by the name, have a strong network effect, and for better or for worse, Bluesky is where a lot of the network energy is at the moment.)
@crschmidt.net If you want to have the best chance of me seeing replies to my bsky content, you should follow @bsky.brid.gy , which will then mean that your replies will syndicate to my bsky notifications.
Wraithe@crschmidt @crschmidt.net Not sure what you’re using for a platform, but there’s a nice iOS app called Croissant, which posts to BlueSky and Mastodon simultaneously. It’s what I’ve been using since it came out and it works well (only thing it can’t do is video).

Croissant - Cross-Posting
It's a social network explosion! And you can now post to all of them in one app. Croissant solves that oh-so-2024 problem of wanting to post to all these great new social networks — Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon. Now you can, in one shot. Croissant makes cross-posting buttery smooth. Features: * Se…
@Wraithe @crschmidt.net In general, I'm not a big fan of crossposting; especially when following across the bridge is possible, I'd rather not have split conversations, ya know? I know other people feel differently, but I have always used each social network differently; when I crosspost, the nuances that are specific to a network get lost. (I used to crosspost Twitter to Facebook at one point; I get those memories recommended to me now and think "what was I thinking?")
@crschmidt @crschmidt.net Oh absolutely. Some stuff I post specifically cos, as you note, it’s either specific to a community, but other stuff that’s more generic I crosspost.
I don’t really “get” the bridge, as I don’t see when/if someone replies to it or follows it instead of my real account. 😁

⛵️@crschmidt @crschmidt.net Worth noting, people replying to you here will need bridging enabled for you to see there
Stephanie Bryant (she)@mortaine @crschmidt.net Thanks! @max_in_somer pointed out that for me to easily keep track of your replies, it would work best if you follow @bsky.brid.gy , which will bridge replies/notifications to my bsky account. Just a heads up!
