Bridgy Fed Config lets you switch bridging on/off for your Bluesky, Mastodon, or Pixelfed accounts. For ActivityPub-based accounts, you can add a custom domain to look native on Bluesky.

I'm going to start evangelizing that publishers and journalists display Mastodon and/or Bluesky links on all of their pages and invest in those communities.
