    BlueSky is its own thing with its own federated protocol called ATproto. They have an explanation in their docs on how it works, different features. There’s a bridge between the two as well, a bit janky but effective.

        No, not unless the person whose posts you want to see opted into bridging their account.

        If both parties bridge their accounts they can follow eachother, or if one person bridges their account others can follow them.

        I don’t think you can see boosts of stuff not on your platform though, and I don’t know how interacting with a bridged account works if both of you are bridged. If only the person you’re following is bridged they definitely won’t see it, but I don’t know if that changes if you’re both bridged

      It’s a federated protocol, but the network itself isn’t meaningfully federated, and is basically just Bluesky (the company) infrastructure. Hopefully that changes, because until then, it’s still a centralised social media platform, despite the underlying technology

        They have no reason to change that. They will long term want the exact same thing that twitter has, access to all user data and control of the platform.
