FOLKS WE DID IT ✅ I'm typing this on @aviva.gay's deer.social ✅ which posted to @alnkq.bsky.social's AppViewLite ✅ which is listening to the @blacksky.app atproto.africa relay

fig (aka:[phil])@bad-example.com

pretty damn close to a 100% top-to-bottom bluesky-free bluesky ✅ indie pds (lots) ✅ indie relay (mine + others now!) ✅ indie jetstream (mine + many more (optional)) 🌀 indie appview (AppViewLite has some issues, @futur.blue's should work, more in progress) ✅ indie client (@aviva.gay's deer.social !)

if you're on a bluesky app and reading it, i think the short version is: it means bluesky is an open/interoperable social network every piece of infrastructure i used to make that post was running independently from bluesky!

Oh my goodness So I can literally make an instance out of Bluesky independently from Bluesky servers? Just like Mastodon? If so that's neat, I really liked Fediverse related stuff but didn't knew where to start

yeah! bluesky (/atproto) focuses on making your PDS (personal data server) really really easy to self-host and easy to migrate. you own your data. the rest (relays, appviews, clients) work well as shared community infrastructure, not everyone has to run their own. you're free to move around :)
