Hi all! I’m overdue for another Bridgy Fed status update. Bottom line up front: we’re now bridging video on Bluesky! Out from Bluesky works now, in will work as soon as they finish their user rollout, hopefully within days.

Also, Bridgy Fed can now ask people to bridge their accounts! This is the infamous “discoverable opt in,” and it’s finally launched. If you want to follow someone, but they’re not bridged, send their handle to Bridgy Fed in a DM or chat message, and it will message them to say you’re asking. (Only once; it won’t send another message if someone else asks.)

We send a couple other DMs now too, a welcome when you bridge your account, and an FYI when you reply to someone but they won’t see it because you’re not bridged .

It’s been a busy couple months. I was all set to post this weeks ago, after I put the finishing touches on DMs, but then Brazil happened. 3M new users and 10-20x usage increase in just a few days!

Amazingly, even though Bluesky team hosts all the difficult-to-scale parts themselves, not in the cloud, they’d still planned for this kind of surprise and handled it ok. Bridgy Fed though, not so much. It stayed up and serving, but Bluesky => fediverse got slower and slower. Tough timing, too, I was busy with other things and couldn’t find much time to work on it, so after a week it was almost 3 days (!) behind.

Fortunately, I finally managed to speed it up – props to Ilya‘s libipld library, among other things! – and after it worked through the backlog, we were back in business.

Anyway. Since last time: video, DMs, usage spike, and other features and bug fixes too:

• Improved Pleroma and Flipboard compatibility.
• Improved style of web => Bluesky bridged posts, also now try harder to include an image.
• Drastically improved monitoring and alerting.
• Stricter authorization for AP Undos.
• …and lots more bug fixes.

As usual, feel free to ping me with feedback, questions, and bug reports. You can follow the now label on GitHub to see what I’m currently focusing on. See you on the bridge!

LETS FUCKING GO FEDI! 3 YEARS OF UTTER SUFFERING ARE FINALLY OVER

I have now concluded my Oral-Exams and am finally done with all of this University-Stuff

FUCK YEAH.

Also managed a total of 10,7 (out of 15) in total, which is quite good.

Finally my mind can rest and I can undulge in stuff again. Maybe it even gets to write some stuff for TRPG again, who knows.

@Erpel weniger. Aber ja schon traurig. Ich hab damals noch Hoffnung gehabt die FDP macht net alles kaputt oh well

@Erpel wie viel % Teilzeit?

@zucker Es ist lediglich die Testwarnung im Voraus NICHT eingeschaltet bei Android. Alle anderen sind standardmäßig EIN. Wenn du für dich entscheiden magst du willst die net, dann ist das so.

Aber hey du kannst auch gerne weiter auf einem System rumhacken das grds. funktioniert.

@zucker @HonkHase Da kann es sein, dass die Testwarnungen nicht eingeschaltet sind ;) War zumindest bei mir bis 15 min vorher unter Lineage noch so.

@puniko Literally Kyaru Puni-Pic.
