Bluesky backs a project that would let Mastodon apps, like Ivory, work with its network | TechCrunch:

Social networks Bluesky and Mastodon may soon be accessible from within a single app — at least, that’s what Bluesky hopes. The new decentralized social network, originally incubated inside Jack Dorsey-run Twitter, is backing a project that would connect — or “bridge” — Mastodon requests into Bluesky requests so that consumer apps, like Ivory, would be compatible with Bluesky, too.

It’s starting to make a lot more

Sense why these niche third party apps were receiving VC funding.
