It's really cool that people are now using Bluesky not only from servers they host themselves, but servers they *wrote* themselves (or someone else here did), adding features the standard one doesn't have ❤️ Like, I now have 2FA again on my PDS because @baileytownsend.dev just went and built it

Cirrus PDS now support passkey auth. It was a bit of a puzzle adding it to a tool where where the admin is all CLI, but I'm really pleased with the flow I came up with. Give it a go! github.com/ascorbic/cirrus If you don't know what Cirrus is, it's a really easy way to host your own Bluesky data

Tweets 2 Bsky | BlueAT Network - A Bluesky PDS
BlueAT Network offers a service no other PDS ever has, X Account mirroring.
SMM Tools that connect & post to non-Bluesky PDSs (Blacksky, Eurosky, selfhosted.social PDS etc.) - Hilary's Leaflet
+ some info at the end to help anyone developing one of these tools add non-Bluesky PDS support.
Self-hosting - AT Protocol
Self-hosting a Bluesky PDS means running your own Personal Data Server that is capable of federating with the wider ATProto network.
Bluesky PDS
Take control of your online identity with a one-click Bluesky PDS. Built on the open AT Protocol, Bluesky gives users full ownership of their social data and digital presence. Clovyr makes self-hosting simple, secure, and accessible for everyone, with no command line required.
PDS Entryway | Bluesky
Bluesky runs many PDSs. Each PDS runs as a completely separate service in the network with its own identity. They federate with the rest of the network in the exact same manner that a non-Bluesky PDS does. These PDSs have hostnames such as morel.us-east.host.bsky.network.
Notes on migrating a Bluesky account | Archived fry69
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...
The frustrating thing about this is that when you "Login with Bluesky", you're not even actually logging in with Bluesky The App. You may be using a Bluesky PBC-hosted PDS, but it has nothing to do with @bsky.app, other than it's the PDS you're assigned when you create an account on their client.
Making good progress on hosting an AT Proto PDS for new micro.blog users. It’ll launch soon. Important note: it is not for people who already use Bluesky, at least not yet. The goal is to give new users an account on the atmosphere. Existing users will be happier sticking with the Bluesky PDS.
You can sign up for @inspo.land with your bluesky account! under the hood it creates a new private PDS using bsky for auth still a bit finicky sometimes, so lmk if you run into any issues!
Yesterday Bluesky went down. @eurosky.social servers worked but we couldn't communicate as we don't have an app. Our next step is to build everything we need to operate without Bluesky. We're raising €100,000 to build a European app backend supporting 100k+ users. Let's do this fund.eurosky.tech
Accelerate building an independent European social web
fund.eurosky.techThe question came up today "When will Bluesky support 2FA for things like passkeys", etc besides email. I've talked about it a bit spread out, but thought I'd do a 🧵 on the lay of the land with auth and 2FA in the atmosphere
Felix Schneider
Regarding one question from today's atproto x npmx x svelte meetup: npmx.social already supports 2FA with email thanks to @pds.dad 🥳💐
“truly own your social identity on bluesky and at protocol” that’s… not how this works — this is just another PDS hosting service, which is great and needed, but it’s not giving people anymore ownership over their identity than having it hosted anywhere else let’s not confuse/mislead people plz

Exploring the idea of self-hosting a Bluesky PDS alongside my Indiekit instance — turning it into a dual-protocol server that federates over both ActivityPub and AT Protocol simultaneously. Inspired by Wafrn’s approach, adapted to Indiekit’s plugin architecture and Cloudron deployment. The goal: ow…
