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.

no problem. i think they have a fork of the main bluesky app available that connects to their services but im not sure where to download it off the top of my head. imo bluesky should add a setting to their app to change app views, too.

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
