Hi [Bridgy Fed](
) fans! It’s time for another status update, headlined by two big new features.
First, [you can now use custom domain handles on accounts bridged into Bluesky]( )! Web sites and fediverse accounts can both do this; click through for instructions. [Here’s an example.]( ) We’ve been excited about this for a while, we hope it makes bridged accounts feel a bit more like first class citizens.
Second, if you deactivate bridging to Bluesky, [you can now undo it and bring back your bridged account]( )! Just un-block and re-follow the bot, or for a web site, [file an issue](
) or [ping me]( ). This is supported if you first deactivated after 2024-10-22; we’re still working on the rest.
I’m also excited that [Tamschi](
) has generously volunteered to help triage issues and coordinate development. He’s been a valuable presence on the project for a while now. Please give him a warm welcome!
Oh, and I got distracted for a bit and [built a labeler that emits custom self-labels](
), then [promptly realized that custom self-labels probably aren’t allowed](
), even though [Bridgy Fed has been using them since launch](
). Ah well!
Lots more [since last time](https://snarfed.org/2024-09-12_53693 ) too:
