@gilesdring @roque Yep, seems that way looking at the github. Still a great tool! I hope one day it becomes two-way.

@roque Right now it's looking like it's one-way, Mastodon to Bluesky.

@roque Now the only question that remains -- does it go both ways? If I post on bsky will it crosspost here too?

@roque Oop! There it goes! It just took a minute or so. It's on Bluesky now! Neat!

@roque Yep, posted it here originally. Nothing on Bluesky yet, but maybe it takes some time?

Giving Skymoth a try... so this should appear on both Bluesky and Mastodon... hopefully?

@gilesdring Cool! I will check it out. Thank you.

So I know we can bridge Mastodon-Bluesky using Bridgy and all that, but is there any way to bridge *this* account with *my* Bluesky account, rather than to just have an unmanned mirror? Cross-posting I guess is what I'm looking for.

Girl meets boy.
Girl falls in love with boy.
Girl drags boy into the sea.
Girl is a dragon.
