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.

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.

This article talks about setting up your own Bluesky personal data server, so you will hold your follow data, post data, and medias on your own server. With proper setup, you will be able to follow people on other At Proto instances (like bsky.social); and people on bsky.social can follow you. Using CloudFlare tunnel We
Manton Reece - Introducing the Micro.blog PDS
I’ve started rolling out an AT Protocol PDS — personal data server — for new Micro.blog users. In the Bluesky world, a PDS is what stores your posts, follows, photos, and other data from apps.

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.
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.

bsky.networkJust learned about FediSky, a project by @msonnberger.com that adds an ActivityPub instance sidecar to a PDS. Think Bridgy Fed except hosted by the PDS owner or Wafrn except reversed. Still in early dev, but keeping an eye on this space 👀
