We‘ve not been active on Mastodon for quite a while—Bluesky is now our busiest social media platform, with Facebook and Instagram being posted to regularly, plus occasional posts to Threads. As an experiment we have ‘bridged’ our Bluesky account to Mastodon. Not all of our Bluesky posts ‘translate‘ well (we're looking at you, quote posts!), but you may find them of interest.
