Use 'Bridgy Fed' to connect Mastodon and Bluesky
  • Yeah, I'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing. What I'm looking for:

    I make a Mastodon account

    I make a Bluesky account

    I connect them via the bridge

    I post on one account, the same content is posted on both accounts

    If someone replies to my post on Mastodon (which all Mastodon users can see), I can reply using my Mastodon account

    If someone replies to my post on Bluesky (which all Bluesky users can see even if they have not opted into using the bridge), I can reply using my Bluesky account

    From what you're describing, it doesn't sound like the bridge can facilitate this.

  • Use 'Bridgy Fed' to connect Mastodon and Bluesky
  • I've never been on Twitter/X, Bluesky, or Mastodon. But maybe I'd like to try.

    So far I can't decide because I prefer Activity Pub in principle, but always felt FOMO with Twitter and don't want the same thing to happen with Bluesky.

    I think the best of both worlds would be if I could make an account on both and have one account essentially repost anything from the main account, unless I'm replying to someone specifically where it wouldn't make sense to reply on both accounts.

    Not sure if this bridge is a step in that direction, but it's far more important to me that everyone can see what I post on both sides than it is that people from both sides can reach me on a singular account. Not sure if others feel the same way.

  • It always escalates too far...
  • River otters mostly. They have a vested interest in maximizing the amount of time humans spend indoors playing games. Funding-wise, they don't have a many clams but they're generous with the smooth rocks from their armpit pouches. They really aren't shellfish.

  • Zeus's only son
  • But at the end of the day, be it a 2D animated Disney movie or the mythical canon of ancient Greece, it's all just stuff from a long time ago, right? Who's to say which of them actually came first? It's all he said / she said / Homer said at this point. I guess we just have to come to terms with the fact that we'll never really know.

  • Space rule
  • I'm supportive of your general vibe. But respectfully, being inclusive of your own needs does not require being exclusive of the needs of others. We all share the same world, so maybe we can be understanding of everyone's desire for comfort without judging them based on how they were born.

  • Am I the only one who does this?
  • Playing devil's advocate, I completely disagree. If two people are making competing arguments, only the one being needlessly contrarian deserves an upvote. Using Up/Down votes as a means to side with someone is a good way to build a Boeing 747-200 engine.

  • The Reddit app keeps opening up the rewards menu when I tap to upvote
  • I was off the app for over a year because of the API change. Decided to make a new account and lurked for a while before there was a comment I really wanted to reply to. I wrote out the perfect reply and my phone locked when I looked away for a few seconds. I unlocked the phone and my comment was gone. I went looking in the help menu to see if there was a place to suggest features like auto-save. Nothing. So, I made a new subreddit for reddit feature suggestions and spent like an hour writing a post explaining my experience. I hit post and the app went back to home. My post was gone.

    Since then, I've made about a dozen comments in various places. On my old account, I would get dozens or hundreds of upvotes per comment, so it's surprising that regardless of what I say or where, my new account has only 1 upvote on each comment. Almost like my account isn't being seen. Is this what we lost the good reddit apps for?

  • What word or term annonys you?
  • Yeah, it's specifically the not talking to a kid version that bothers me.

    I pick up a subtext of self-importance and I think that's what I find irksome. A mom is a parent. A momma is a special parent who will do anything for their baby, you'd better watch out. A kid is a child. A kiddo is a specific child who has a close bond with their momma or teacher that you wouldn't understand. That's the vibe I get.

  • What word or term annonys you?
  • Similarly, not a fan of when teachers and parents talk about their "kiddos."

    Feels like they're needlessly using a more playful childish term to make themselves part of a separate "in group" who "gets it."

  • Can't find comments in thread

    A few times lately someone has replied to me and I click on their comment in my inbox to reply back. It takes me to the thread, but only shows a parent or sibling comment, not the reply that was in the inbox. But if I go back to the inbox and click on their profile, I see the comment in their history.

    Most recently, this happened to a comment from Azzy@beehaw.org. They sent me a reply telling me about a containers plugin in Firefox and I just want to reply back thanking them for the tip.

    Is this a real bug, or is it an artifact of how some instances are not federated with others?

    Edit: Link doesn't seem to lead to their account. Am I linking it wrong?

    Not sure if others are having this issue, but I cannot paste into the app

    Basically anything I copy won't paste into the app. The exception is when I copy a link from an app like YouTube and paste it directly into Connect. But if I paste the same link into a notes app and copy the url from there, nothing happens when I try to paste in Connect.

    I'm on a Galaxy S9, Android version 10.
