What if Blue Sky starter packs could get bridged all at once?

I'm chasing down people one at a time and just saw that my current fandom has a starter pack...

I assume there's some sort of permission / consent issue but these are all public accounts, right? So it's mostly a technical issue?

@maj @mick sounds like that'd maybe require an endpoint in bridgyfed to resolve multiple accounts at once?

So like: you fetch a bluesky starter pack, send the user list to bridgy, and then render it "for the fediverse" showing which accounts are bridged and which aren't?

Maybe could be extended in bridgy to support alts? So like I don't want my bluesky bridged account to be used for fedi, but this account.

Thoughts @snarfed.org ?

@thisismissem @maj @mick Interesting! Lots of ideas here!

Bridgy Fed being opt in per user on the fediverse and Bluesky right now is entirely a policy decision. I'd obviuosly need to make some minor code changes to switch any instance or network opt out, but there's no real technical blocker.

A UI or API for querying bridge status of accounts in bulk, eg from starter packs, is interesting! Not a common use case, probably not something we'd prioritize any time soon, but I can keep it in mind.

We've been thinking and talking a lot about how users could express their preferred accounts for people to use, both native and bridged. Ideally that would be generic, not bridge- or network-specific. Complex, may not ship anytime soon, but very worthwhile! Some early narrow thoughts: https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/800 . We'd love help on this!
