What it does

Snapbird mirrors your Bluesky posts to Mastodon in real time, with smart mention rewriting and image alt-text preservation. Hosted at snapbird.org, or self-host with Docker.

Snapbird is a small, self-hosted bridge that mirrors your Bluesky posts to Mastodon in real time — preserving images, alt‑text, and rewriting @mentions and links so they land cleanly on the other side. New post! Saying hi to @alice.example — check out the latest at example.com/notes/42 New post! Saying hi to @[email protected] — check out the latest at https://example.com/notes/42 Subscribes to Bluesky’s Jetstream firehose and posts to Mastodon the moment your skeet lands. No polling, no cron. Tries to resolve each @handle to its Mastodon account. Falls back to the Bluesky profile URL when no link exists, and skips posts where the swap would silently turn…from snapbird.org
