Running Bluesky PDS undockered
A bit over a year ago, in the first week of January 2025, I migrated my main Bluesky account to my own PDS on a Netcup VPS. It’s been quite easy to set up using the official installer, and it’s been running pretty much without any problems or maintenance the whole year.

So You Want to Migrate... If you have an account on a Bluesky mushroom PDS (\<mushroom>.\*.bsky.network) and want to migrate to another PDS (e.g., your own), this can currently be a daunting task. As of this writing, there are a few web-based migration tools available, but even with those you might...

[Guide] - Bluesky to Twitter/X migration
For those who have decided to leave Twitter/X for Bluesky, or, like me, have joined both platforms, one of the first challenges is replicating your follows. If you have a significant number of accounts you’re following, manually searching for and re-following them on Bluesky can be a tedious and time-consuming process. Earlier today, I decided to dig into whether there are any tools or methods to make this transition easier. After exploring several options, I came across a particularly
here is how i've been explaining PDS migration to the 115 users i've migrated: imagine your bluesky account as being an apartment. you're upset the rent is changing, so you move to a cheaper apartment on the other side of town. after you move, you have to update your address with the post office.

Current events are making it challenging to track MPs and reputable organisations that are permanently migrating to Bluesky. If folks see examples that we need to assess for verification - do let me know. Will limit it largely to politicians, govt orgs and large orgs at the moment for this pass.

hello! yeah! quite a lot of PLC progress (and some left to go). (warning: long thread) 1. there is an official reference read-replica implementation: github.com/did-method-plc/go-didplc/tree… the official read-replica is better than the Allegedly reference-server-wrapper that i made, in two important ways:

hello, has there been progress on this since the writeup? thank you for your work, i'm not grasping the full extent of it but i'm really interested in decentralization of the atmosphere
Another day, another odd edge case migration thing to troubleshoot. Looks like the entryway updates the user's PLC did doc if on a Bluesky PDS, and it does this by a serviceAuth token. If you migrated back, but did not update your verification method when you moved, you can lock yourself out..
Blacksky was one of the 1st PDSs to allow open sign ups We are also now the largest PDS deployment that doesn't run any of bsky's code Sorry for the turbulence. It was the one-time price to pay for being able to build features like private accounts or sign-in via phone number w/o waiting on Bluesky
