If you've found this page, it's because you are me in the future and want to remember these instructions!
- Create an account on the Fediverse using a domain you control
- For example
@user@bots.example.com
- For example
-
Follow the Fediverse-ATProto bridge
@bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy - You now have an account on BSky! Its name will be something like
user.bots.example.com.ap.brid.gy - Get the DID of your account
https://public.api.bsky.app/xrpc/app.bsky.actor.getProfile?actor=user.bots.example.com.ap.brid.gy- Or
https://fed.brid.gy/ap/@user@bots.example.com
-
Add the DID to your domain
- I think the easiest way is sticking it in a plain text file at
bots.example.com/.well-known/atproto-did
- I think the easiest way is sticking it in a plain text file at
- Use the BSky Debugger to make sure it was successful.
- Send a Direct Message from the Fediverse to
@bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy. The message must only containusername bots.example.com.- That's literally the word
username. It isn't your account's username.
- That's literally the word
- Wait a few moments.
- Your bot will now be on BSky as
https://bsky.app/profile/bots.example.com!
You can see that https://bot.viii.fi/bot is also available at https://bsky.app/profile/bot.viii.fi
@Edent You're welcome! 😉
An alternative to step 3 is to Direct Message from the Fediverse to @bsky.brid.gy with 'DID'. You'll get a private reply with your DID.
@blog @bsky.brid.gy Great tip. I wish I had known before I registerered a Bsky-account using my domain (and added that DID to my domain).
Is there any way for me to tell bridgy to bridge to my existing Bsky account...? Seems like a slim chance.
