I'm having trouble figuring out how bluesky is part of the fediverse at all.

From my understanding it doesn't federate with anything.

It's like saying a hamburger is really just a cheeseburger......you just need to add cheese.

It has an adapter that integrated with the current protocol.

Oh great. That bridge even federates with the bitcoin bros' network (nostr)

[-] sxan@midwest.social 6 points 3 months ago

I really like the Nostr protocol, though. It's too bad the network is so inundated by cryptocurrency topics.

It's simple, it has a nice extension process (standing on the shoulders of giants), and it's super easy and lightweight to self-host. It reminds me a lot of the early days of http, when it was more common (as a developer) to telnet to port 80 and just type in a couple of lines of header and get a response.

Sadly, Nostr's association with cryptocurrency, and the fact that 90% of the traffic on it is cryptocurrency created posts, has been a severe handicap.

In theory, bluesky can federate with other apps but it is currently the only one using their protocol, bluesky servers can federate with each other and when a new project using atprotocol appears it will probably be able to federate with that

You can see other instances at work in the app already. There is an @ symbol that says where the message comes from, and those differ from each other already.

Can you link to one of these other instances?

[-] obbeel@lemmy.eco.br 3 points 3 months ago

I think you can link bluesky to your personal domain. I'm not sure how it works.

[-] Blaze@feddit.org 3 points 3 months ago

From what I've seen it's only single person instance where they use their domain names as user.

Not something you expect a standard person to have

[-] Corgana@startrek.website 3 points 3 months ago

It's not a single person instance either, it's just using your own domain in your handle.

[-] Corgana@startrek.website 2 points 3 months ago

There is only one bluesky it's literally centralized

Any example of federated instance where registrations are open?

According to this blog post, they are currently limited to 10 accounts, so not many open servers, but you can host your own.

This is an old blog post, though, so the limit might have been lifted
