Thanks for letting us know. We weren't aware that users now get a DM - how cool!
Hi Connor, once you start posting (after turning on the bridge by following the account) people will be able to see & follow you on Mastodon here: mastodon.social/@4uffin.bsky... Sometimes it can take a while for posts to appear but we've just followed you as an example!
We want to help people find conversations on things that interest them across platforms and protocols. That's why we've also built topical communities which can be seen on Mastodon. They include federated Threads accounts and bridged Bluesky (hence the boosts). newsmast.community/about
Hey Jack, we're a UK charity trying to get more people connected on social media through open protocols. The reason we highlight the bridge is because it's a great start to connecting your Bluesky account to Mastodon and the Fediverse. We also work on Threads to encourage Fediverse sharing!
You can also support the Fediverse, open social web, and open source technology by watching this video on PeerTube! spectra.video/w/42kMTHaxxq...

Thank you! 🧡
It's something we're trying to encourage on the other side, but you're right - not as many people have 'bridged' their account as we expected when this first became available.
Awesome, thanks, we'll check it out.
Human error 😅
