Updated my code for Bluesky for the recent API endpoint changes. Looking forward to enabling this for Micro.blog folks.

@manton

What's the API like?

@davew The part of the API I'm using is documented here, called XRPC. General purpose like XML-RPC, but JSON. There are "lexicons" that describe how the various Bluesky endpoints work. (I'll have to blog about it, it took some work to unravel.)

@manton

thanks! very interesting. i'd love to get an overview. obviously the big question is how does it compare to activitypub.

@davew Yes, and for now my use-case is simple: cross-post from a blog to Bluesky. I'm not attempting following users between platforms on the scale of ActivityPub. I expect that is more complicated and I'm not sure it's finalized yet in Bluesky.

@manton Micro.blog as a single point of access towards multiple federated protocols sounds like a very interesting (albeit niche) thing!

@manton If you need help testing this, feel free to get in touch. Looking forward to this one.

@gr36 @maique Drop me a quick email to help@micro.blog if y'all would like to try it.

@manton sent an email too!! Also interested in this and willing to help.

@manton can I send an email as well? ;-)

@otaviocc Of course!

@manton What does that mean?

@manton I will continue to mentally pronounce this to rhyme with brewski.

@petar We are going to add Bluesky to our list of cross-posting services, so Micro.blog can copy your blog posts there.

@manton I have a Bluesky account which means I can post here and it’ll show up there? Awesomeness 👏🏼
