I would like to set up a Mastodon account (bot) that mirrors a profile that currently exists on Bluesky. Is it possible to automate this?
I don't have admin access to the Bluesky account, but the information would be good to share on Mastodon IMO.
Rss.app can make an RSS feed of a Bluesky profile, but it requires a paid subscription. Are there any better ways? (I had assumed there would be a tool specifically for this but I haven't found one).
ask it to setup Bridgy.

Thanks. This seems to do something different. It's asking me for my Mastodon account and to create a handle on Bluesky. I want to represent a Bluesky account on Mastodon so other people can follow it and see the same posts/comments made on Bluesky. I
Right. I meant you should DM the account on Bluesky and ask them to setup up Bridgy themselves. Then you, or anyone really, can follow the bridged account on Mastodon and boost it like any other.
Actually, that could work. I’ll do that. Thank you for the suggestion!
Update: they've agreed to do that, thanks again!
awesome!
edit: I forgot to mention that Fedi users can setup Bridgy as well, so that they're interactions make it back to the Bluesky account, too.

Good to know, thank you. I take it it's not easy/possible to bridge an account I don't have ownership of? I'd like to "mirror" some public figures who aren't on Mastodon, too (although I should lobby them to join Mastodon).
If you don't have ownership of an account then no, you can't setup Bridgy. But if they have a website that does like blog post kind of stuff, Bridgy may be able to do that.

there's also bots available to mirroring twitter or RSS to Mastodon

Thanks so much. Those bots might be what I'll use for public service accounts.
