alright folks, the app code is now public https://github.com/bluesky-social/social-app

Wow! I didn’t expect this to happen for a while. When federation opens, will there be “instances” of bluesky like Mastodon, or will bluesky do something more sane like not having instances?

yes, there will be federated instances but i think the idea is to smooth out the rough parts of that experience. if you don’t want to think about that piece then you shouldn’t have to.

This section of the read me file seems to imply otherwise. Mastodon didn’t have guidelines like this. I know other platforms will be able to connect to Bluesky over the AT protocol, but part of the reason why Mastodon failed was because of the server selection. I’m hoping Bluesky doesn’t do that.
