if login isn't supported for your fediverse server, search for and follow @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy in the fediverse. That account will then follow you back. Accept its follow to make sure your fediverse posts get sent the bridge and make it into Bluesky. You can unfollow it afterward if you want, you'll still stay bridged. (Here's how to disable.)

Which stuff of mine from the fediverse will get bridged?

Once you’ve enabled the bridge, anything that’s fully public and interacts with Bluesky users. This includes your posts, replies, likes, and reposts if the original post was bridged. Posts on Bluesky are limited to 300 characters, so longer posts from the fediverse are truncated and ellipsized. Hashtags, links, link previews, images, videos, and even alt text are also included.

If you’re on the fediverse or Bluesky, and you’ve opted in but now want to opt out, block the Bridgy Fed bot user for the network you want to opt out of. For example, on the fediverse, block @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy. On Bluesky, block @ap.brid.gy.

(However, if you’re on a Pixelfed instance, DM the word stop to @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy instead. Pixelfed doesn’t yet send the ActivityPub Block activity, so blocking won’t work. Hopefully they’ll fix that soon!)

If you’re on the web, email us from an address at your web site’s domain to show that you own it, or you can put the text #nobridge in the profile on your home page and then update your profile on your user page.

Once you’ve done this, Bridgy Fed will deactivate your bridged profile in that network, and it will no longer bridge any of your posts or interactions there.

You can undo this later and reactivate bridging for your account, but depending on the network, not everything will be perfectly restored. For example, when you disable bridging into the fediverse, the bridged fediverse account is deleted and all followers are disconnected. If you later re-enable it, fediverse users will have to search for your account by address manually to find and follow it again.
