Today, we’re excited to announce that the Bluesky network is federating, or opening up in a way that allows you to host your own data.

    yeah i was just reading… the answer is ‘no’, youre either running bluesky or not.

    youre not building lemmysky and federating, for example.

    so what good is the protocol if you can only use their client server?

      You can self-host an instance, which will federate with every other instance.

      Unlike Mastodon, an instance admin cannot block other instances. So blocking and moderation occurs more commonly at the user level. In a sense, it has even more in common with email than ActivityPub does.
