Frontpage RFC: Cross posting to Bluesky
unravel.fyi

Hey 👋 if you don’t know us already, we’re building Frontpage; an AT Procol based federated link aggregator. We shipped an initial MVP in closed beta recently and have since been thinking about the road to general availability.

This post is an RFC (Request for Comments) targeted at technically minded folks who are interested in seeing the progression of atproto for non-Bluesky/microblogging use cases. All that’s to say the language that follows assumes some knowledge about how Bluesky and atproto work! I’ve tried to include links to explain what all of the jargon means though, so hopefully it’s not entirely nonsense for folks a little less familiar!

When you post on Frontpage, we propose that a mirror post will also be created in your Bluesky account. When you comment on Frontpage, we propose that a mirror reply will be created in your Bluesky account.

Conversely, when you reply to one of these mirrored posts in Bluesky - we will show it as a reply in Frontpage.

Additionally, Bluesky likes will be translated to Frontpage votes and vice versa.

    Bluesky is not a part of the fediverse. If they don’t want to use standards and the devs cry about how it is absolutely impossible to integrate the features of ATProto into ActivityPub, then they can fuck off.

          Seems quite relevant indeed.

          To the stance above: if people prefer to have a unified experience managed by a corporation, that’s okay.

          There are enough people on the Internet to keep a few places actives. The Fediverse and Blueskey can coexist.

            Yes and that’s why I don’t understand their comment and even less why it gets downvoted. They seem to complain about something to me that I didn’t even mention and the topic was not about combining ATProto with ActivityPub or whatever.

            Maybe relate wasn’t the right word. English isn’t my native language.

              Reading the thread again, I guess it comes from

              Initially I thought I wouldn’t need multiple accounts for the fediverse.

              Followed by

              Right now I’m more active on Bluesky

              Some people might have understood it as “The Fediverse failed, Bluesky is better”. As I said, to me it’s okay to prefer one or the other, but some people are less tolerant.

          I never said that Bluesky is part of the fediverse for example and the rest of your comment seems to me like it should be directed to OP or devs of ATProto and not me.

                Bluesky is not a part of the fediverse.

                That is directed at you, but is not a complaint.

                The rest is my own rant at the devs, not directed at you.

                  Then you misunderstood me because I know that Bluesky is not part of the fediverse. With my comment I was trying to say that I would be happy to be able to communicate solely in ATProto apps with one account instead of with multiple accounts in ActivityPub.
