Bluesky has a couple new blog posts and info around the production deploy of federation. From their main blog post:
The ability to host your own data, just as you might run your own website, provides the fundamental guarantee that social media will never again be controlled by only one company. Even if Bluesky were to disappear, if the data is hosted across different sites, the network can be rebuilt. The fact that it requires no permission to set up a new website is what has made the open web such a dynamic and creative force.
If you’re mostly familiar with Mastodon’s view of the social web, keep in mind that Bluesky’s AT Protocol is very different than ActivityPub. Both specs solve different problems. If you thought ActivityPub was complicated, just wait until you go down the rabbit hole of AT and Merkle search trees! It is wonderful and terrible. 🤪
For Micro.blog, today we support cross-posting to Bluesky, so we’ve already dipped our toes into the XRPC API. I blogged last year about what I learned with sending posts to Bluesky.
The long-term plan for Micro.blog is to fully support AT’s PDS — Personal Data Servers. Any blog hosted on Micro.blog would plug into Bluesky seamlessly, with data portable to other AT Protocol hosting providers. However, we are going to go slowly with this. I would say it is several months away.
Adam Wood This is precisely the news I'd hoped to hear from Micro.blog once I read the announcement from Bluesky. Thanks.
Daniel Rose love to see it! I was thinking about how MB would handle the announcement. This is just what I was hoping for!
Manton Reece @timapple Yes, that's the hope.
Pedro Corá I haven't read much, but is it true to say that their federation model handles search better than Mastodon? As in: if I post in my remote PDS, with only a few followers, etc, someone in a main hub searching for a string of text will find my post?This is probably my main issue with Mastodon.
Manton Reece @pcora That's true. Search is up to the "big" servers (currently only Bluesky, but there could be others) and works the same regardless of where your data is stored. One way to think about it is that Mastodon is about smaller communities, and Bluesky is about a larger community but with data stored on smaller servers.
Mitch Wagner i’m glad to see you’re on top of that. 
Pedro Corá thanks! So I understood right. I’ll try to setup a PDS tomorrow just to play with it and understand more.
JL Gatewood Oh wow, it's gonna be an interesting weekend for sure! @pcora me too-- Might see what I can do with my Tailnet/NAS or VPS.
Jessica Smith Definitely cool that you plan to make individual micro.blogs work as Bluesky PDSes! That's exactly how the federated social web should be able to work :)
rom Micro.blog accounts having their own PDS would be awesome! I can imagine, 5 microblogs belonging to a single PDS. Can’t wait.
Pedro Corá @starrwulfe It's super, really super easy! I have a tst account here: bsky.app/profile/p...
