Blacksky @blackskyweb.xyz now has its own servers running the network This means they're able to run their own feature development and moderation policies, while still connecting to Bluesky through the shared Atmosphere network! s/o to @rude1.blacksky.team and the blacksky team for amazing work

Cool cool cool. How do I follow Link over there? They didn't stupidly ban him.

You just have to use Blacksky. His account should show up there

Ah.... See, I thought this was less of a walled garden in that other instances (like Blacksky) could be brought up and users of Bluesky could I dunno... Elect to follow people from their Bluesky account. Sort of like Mastodon but less chaotically done...

You just log into their appview. It’s the same account and you don’t have to move anything.

Oh, damn. Thank you.

You can't download it yet as an app, but here it is their fork using their own AppView, you just need to login there and it's done staging.blacksky.community

hm maybe the source was on github and that’s what i’m thinking of

Well, you could probably compile the code and install it by yourself They just don't have it available inside any app store yet

So we have to open it in a browser for now?

Correct On your phone, you can add it to your home screen (both iOS and Android work fine) and use it like an app It's a very similar experience you can do for now
