To follow someone on Bluesky from the Fediverse using Bridgy Fed, first you follow bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy which connects you to the bridge.

This will assign you with a Bluesky name, which will initially be @username.example.com.ap.brid.gy if your fediverse address is username@example.com.

Ask your web host or system administrator to set up a different handle if you don't like ap.brid.gy as part of your name. Apparently it involves DNS or something like that. I asked them to set up @frank.casa for me.

Then to follow a specific person, you add @bsky.brid.gy to their Bluesky username and remove the initial @ sign.

For example, to follow @someone.bsky.social you would need to follow someone.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy from the fediverse.

Special thanks for my web host for setting this up for me.
