Social media should be centered around people, not platforms. Let's build bridges, not walls. That's why we're building Bridgy Fed and Bounce.

This is just the start of the work on mackinac.social, and we're really excited to see where it goes!

Making bridging more native blurs the line between technologies and lets people focus on their people.

Mackinac - Explore the Open Social Web

A powerful, native iOS client for the AT Protocol and Bluesky. Experience the social web like never before.

For bridged posts that exceed the 300-character limit, you can view the full text from a “view more” button. On profiles you can also see the full text and handles display as the native handles.

3/

In your feed, bridged posts show up with a little bridged icon and handles display the way they do on their native ecosystem. No weird long Bridgy Fed handles!

If you view a bridged profile you get the switcher to jump to the other protocol and see the native profile.

Mackinac, built by @johnwhiteside, is an open social web client that's thinking multi-protocol and bridging-first! John's added a *ton* of unique features we've never seen before, so we wanted to outline a few of them in a thread 👇🏼

If you're building an Atmosphere client or platform, and want to build a similar experience, check out how in our docs: https://fed.brid.gy/docs#bluesky-fields
Bridgy Fed

Bridgy Fed is a bridge between decentralized social networks like the fediverse, Bluesky, and web sites and blogs.

Got the blues because your Fediverse posts sent through Bridgy Fed that are over 300 characters get truncated on the Atmosphere, and they have to click into a link?

Well, good news: starting today, deck.blue, a TweetDeck-like client for Bluesky, shows the *full* post from over the bridge - no truncation, no links!

v2.20 is up! - Bookmarks from Bluesky now supported - Verification badges (can be turned off!) - @ap.brid.gy support (shows full text from ActivityPub when clicking bridged posts) - Video player fixes - Other minor fixes - Roadmap update Please take a look at the full post below for more info! https://www.patreon.com/posts/154420498?pr=true

Bluesky Social
A New Social is at #AtmosphereConf and announcing new features for Bounce, the protocol migration service. Soon, you'll be able to use Bounce to migrate your bridged account into any PDS in the Atmosphere, and keep all your followers in the Fediverse! Check out Bounce at bounce.anew.social.

Bounce

Bounce lets you migrate from one decentralized social network to another, keep all of your followers, and keep many of the people you follow.

See y'all at #ATmosphereConf!

Long-form is an important medium, and one that's growing on the open social web. We think this is a great start toward bridging ecosystems further than just microblogging on Bridgy Fed.

We can't wait to see what you write, no matter which platform you use.

3/3 🧵

If your Atmosphere (Bluesky, Blacksky, Eurosky, Northsky, etc.) account is bridged, all of your standard.site publications and documents will bridge over to the Fediverse and the web!

We also make sure your standard.site's reference bsky posts reach Fediverse microblogging platforms as Notes with a link to the blog post to keep the experience the same across ecosystems! Similarly, Fediverse reader platforms like WordPress and Ghost will get the full article.
