Well might as well use that account that @SamsaraTAS is squatting on to good use eh?
Also mainly making the issue request because this is something that's talked about a few times, but with no real action being done, so it's more of a goal thing or whatever.

I'm just listing like the needs:

  • Submissions
  • Publications
  • News Feed Posts

Basically what the Twitter integration had I guess.

Probably the major one to point out for when this process is being done is to change the handle to point to the website instead of a bsky account.

Ah yes, I've looked at this in case we ever want to do this:

  • There is a Bluesky HTTP API for creating posts, which makes this possible. The API can do a lot more, but we don't need more.
  • Bluesky supports App Passwords, so we can use one for the site, and the main account holder can stay in manual control of the account.

The account's handle is currently @tasvideos.bsky.social which is fine.
We have an option to convert an account into an "official account" with our domain. It would then appear as @tasvideos.org. We can do this at any time later if we feel like it. We won't lose any posts, and followers don't have to refollow.
To do this we have to set a certain txt record in our domain registrar, so that Bluesky can verify we own the domain.
(Docs for changing the domain in this Bluesky blog article and in the AT Protocol Identity Guide.)
But the domain thing is completely optional anyway.
