Follow us @dev.to!
We're so excited for the opportunity to explore Bluesky, the AT Protocol, and all they have to offer. If you're not familiar with this tech yet, I recommend checking out this post by @bekahhw for a good primer:
Thank you to DEV Community Member @avetaangel43 for providing us with the invite code to get started, and to @ashleymcnamara for additional support! We couldn't do what we do without the power of community 💙
We don't have any invite codes at this time, but we do want to pay it forward eventually when we can, so stay tuned — but no promises 😉
Have you checked out Bluesky yet? What do you think?
Edited to add: we were able to add our domain to Bluesky with just a few clicks. Nice! We're now @dev.to rather than @thepracticaldev.bsky.social.

I haven't, but I'm dubious about it to say the least.
It seems odd to try to develop something like this when they could use or extend existing open protocols. And the people behind it... are not better than Twitter, right? It's Jack Dorsey and I find it difficult to believe this new effort is in good faith given what he's said and done.
When you add in the pitch which plays on disingenuous claims of innovation and artificially scarcity, it feels like a lot of previous commercial ventures which all ended up putting the interests of financial stakeholders before users.
I just marked #atprotocol as supported on DEV
Follow it if you're curious about the future of this:

and, of course, there's a tag for #bluesky itself!

It's great, reallt loving it. Very nostalgic vibes.
I'll be grateful if you can send me an invite
I am andypiper.me on Bluesky - I, too, am digging the ability to point to your owned domain very easily! It is missing a lot of important things, particularly blocks and mutes at present, but seems like a nice vibe.
I remain @andypiper@macaw.social in the #Fediverse
Please help me with an invite
It's looking promising. Things to watch out for: lots of people (bots) are playing the follow to be followed game. Trying to accumulate big number of followers. But with no real or interesting content.
If you follow some of those accounts, you end up with a lot of noise in your feed. So be careful how you curate your following list.

Can you help me with an invite, I'll be grateful
Looks like you get one invite every two weeks. Unless you are famous, which Im not 😂
What about Polywork? Are there any actual successful social platform spaces for devs? I’m genuinely curious
Followed!
