Bridgy Fed – bridges to/from BlueSky, Fediverse (including Mastodon) and many web-sites

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/01/29

I bumped into [Wayback/Archive] Bridgy Fed a while ago. The highlights:

Source is written in Python and HTML. It is available from [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – snarfed/bridgy-fed: 🌉 A bridge between decentralized social network protocols.

The blog post re-introducing it: [Wayback/Archive] Re-introducing Bridgy Fed | snarfed.org.

There is docs too: [Wayback/Archive] Bridgy Fed: docs

Bridgy Fed is a kind of a spin-off from the longer existing [Wayback/Archive] Bridgy which has documentation at [Wayback/Archive] About – Bridgy and source code at [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – snarfed/bridgy: 📣 Connects your web site to social media. Likes, retweets, mentions, cross-posting, and more….

Via [Wayback/Archive] Ionica Smeets (@ionica.mathstodon.xyz.ap.brid.gy) — Bluesky who’s primary social media presence is at [Wayback/Archive] Ionica Smeets (@ionica@mathstodon.xyz) – Mathstodon.

I created my [Wayback/Archive] wiert.me profile – Bridgy Fed which resulted in these two entities (that by the time you read this should have some updates):

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/01/29

I knew that venv is always needed inside your project directory when using Python, and roughly why, but not exactly why, so the points in the below StackOverflow Q/A sequence and underlying article are important to save in my link archive.

Any YouTube ID is a YouTube ID which means you can use any shorts ID and music ID to watch as a YouTube URL (adding functionality shorts and music URLs lack)

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/01/24

YouTube has diversified its content separating out YouTube Shorts and YouTube Music.

The main YouTube viewing experience has a few advantages over the other two experiences:

  1. content can be monetised
  2. content can arranged into lists (including Watch Later)
  3. auto-play can be turned off

All below links have the same ID, but the ones with checkmarks can use all the above features whereas the ones with crosses cannot.
