!Friendica Support Is there any documentation for the Bluesky addon? The repo doesn't say much. Do I need a Bluesky account to use it? Do I have to message the Bluesky Discord to get federation working?

If I don't have to setup a PDS to join Bluesky that would be amazing.

You just need a Bluesky account. It doesn't matter if you use your own PDS or not. Both is supported. Additionally there is an option to use your Friendica hostname as a Bluesky handle, in your case you could use "faeempress.friendica.ca" as a Bluesky handle. To make this possible, you have to apply some small adjustments to your webserver's config. See here: https://friendica.ca/admin/addons/bluesky

At some point in the future, I would like to have Friendica act as an PDS, but by now I haven't got the time for this.

Thanks for the reply. I'll definately give the addon a try.

Prior you should update your system. You should use at least the current stable branch, but the current rc would be better, since there had been many improvements.
