Using BlueSky as a Mastodon Bot
“A Cheap and Lazy way to create Mastodon Bots using… BlueSky?!” By using the brid.gy gateway service, it’s pretty trivial to use BlueSky as an easy means to make a mastodon bot without having to find a bot-friendly Masto host now that botsin.space is no more. For now, I’m doing this at @jmason.ie@bsky.brid.gy , which is gatewaying the posts from my BlueSky bot at https://bsky.app/profile/jmason.ie — although a more long term approach will be to host the links-to-Mastodon gateway “natively” instead of using brid.gy, IMO.
