🇬🇧 Do you know about Bridgy Fed, the tool that lets people from Mastodon servers on the Fediverse see and *interact* with your posts (without making another account!) ? I would love for it to be used more, so let me tell you why I think it's cool!

⏬🇫🇷 Version française dans les réponses 🇫🇷⏬
#BridgyFed

Bridgy Fed lets you (re)connect with friends, creators and people who went to a Mastodon server (or a Misskey server, or something else), while you stay on Bluesky ! To activate "the bridge", simply follow this account : @ap.brid.gy Voilà ! Your Bluesky account is now visible on the Fediverse* – across the bridge. No need to create a new account ! This is opt-in, by default your are not bridged !You can use Bridgy to : Reconnect with Friends, acquaintances, creators you like or look up to, and that may have left Twitter (and other corporate social media) to settle on a "Mastodon instance", or another server of the Fediverse. Extend the reach of your posts, as the Fediverse hosts millions of users. Some communities have an especially strong culture of sharing. Discover new people, that may not be on Bluesky natively. Riding the waves of migrations away from corporate billionaire-owned social media created a little chasm, that may have separated communities between the Fedi and bluesky (and people still on Twitter* and such). Bridgy Fed fills this gap.Picture showing a basic interaction between a Bluesky user and a Fedi user. From a Bluesky post, a brief exchange happens, without neither of the Bluesky nor the Fedi user leaving their platform of choice. At the end, I try to put it in perspective by explaining that this is interesting because it's as if this interaction happened between a Bluesky user and a Twitter user, without them leaving their platform

@verti.blue

As opposed to freehanding it? I find it easier to work straight with the ruler to sketch out the backgrounds 🤔 I did have a references, on another screen though, not underneath

@verti.blue

I had the sketch of Viska from a Drawpile canvas btw One of the rarer moments where I have the character drawn out first before considering a background at all
