Hi everyone! Welcome to another Bridgy Fed status update. Since last time, we’ve been focusing on a big new project that we’re almost ready to start beta testing, but we also managed to ship some smaller features and improvements:
From the Atmosphere:
Support posts with link embed but no text
Improve account deactivation/delete handling
Fix missed profile updates when you make more than one in a row
To the Atmosphere: link previews for bsky.app links
From the fediverse: handle pinned posts in paged collections
To the fediverse:
Serve real outboxes again
Speed up delivery for accounts with many followers
Preserve line breaks in profile bios
From the web: ask for confirmation before bridging
DM notifications:
Notify you of responses to replies you send from the web UI
Show original posts from Atmosphere users who are only visible to logged in users
Internal:
Security: more hardening against SSRF, XSS, and CSRF attacks
Add a load balancer
Faster listRepos
Real collections in describeRepo
Improve firehose reliability
Switch “Bluesky” to “Atmosphere” in docs, UI, etc
As usual, feel free to ping us with feedback, questions, and bug reports, and please support us on Patreon! You can follow the now label on GitHub to see what we’re currently focusing on. See you on the bridge!
