As new users downloaded the app, Bluesky jumped to becoming the app to No. 1 in Brazil over the weekend, ahead of Meta's X competitor, Instagram Threads.
Even if it doesnt have much impact on activitypub-fedi, I think this is good news for the fediverse in general. X is loosing more and more relevancy and microblogging is more and more happening on federating services.
In theory, bluesky can federate with other apps but it is currently the only one using their protocol, bluesky servers can federate with each other and when a new project using atprotocol appears it will probably be able to federate with that
You can see other instances at work in the app already. There is an @ symbol that says where the message comes from, and those differ from each other already.

I’m having trouble figuring out how bluesky is part of the fediverse at all.
From my understanding it doesn’t federate with anything.
It’s like saying a hamburger is really just a cheeseburger…you just need to add cheese.
