Back when Twitter existed, I loved a Mac utility called TweetBot.
Bluesky is growing very quickly now, but there aren’t any really great Bluesky clients for the desktop.
Clients that good are, right now, only offered for Mastodon.
There’sIvory, an extremely good Mastodon client made by Tapbots, the company that built the previously mentioned TweetBot.
My colleague Pranay Parab called Monathe best Mastodon clientand, good as Ivory is, I agree.
And I could go on:there are many great options.
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could use those applications for Bluesky?
Well, you’re free to.
I recently set this up with Mona and I love it.
To get started, install whatever Mastodon client you want to use and add a new account.
When asked for your server, enter “skybridge.fly.dev”.
Here’s how that looks on Mona:
After this, you will be asked to sign into SkyBridge.
Click “Sign In” and you will be redirected to whatever app you were trying to set up.
It should now be working.
It should be noted that not every Bluesky feature is supported.
But the basicsyour timeline and replieswork very well.
