LeapA technology designed to make your social media account more portable to all open social services makes it possible for users to transfer Mastodon accounts to Bluesky. On Tuesday, Bounce Manufacturers introduced its latest Beta, Bounce 2 version, which allows you to get Mastodon’s social graph and transfer it or merge it into a profile for your bluesky account.
With this change, arriving on October 20, users on the Open Social Web will be able to move in any direction: from Mastodon to Bluesky or vice versa. The idea is that this account portability prevents users from getting stuck in a service if they disagree with growth, terms of use, moderation decisions or anything else. Instead, they can simply get their account and go elsewhere.
Bounce Cross-Protocol immigration tool was first introduced in August by non-profit A new socialwhich develops technologies designed to make the open social fabric more accessible and functional.
Today, open social fabric includes different underlying technologies, called protocols, such as Activitywhich dominates Mastodon, yarn, flipboard, peertube, pixelfed and more. and the In the protocol, which supports Bluesky, Skylight and other social applications.
The two protocols are not interconnected, so the bridges – tools that connect different platforms – have been introduced. Currently, users can bridge their accounts so that others in different networks can follow their content, regardless of the service they prefer to use.
The bounce is built on technology that was first developed for BridgeAnother tool connecting Mastodon and Bluesky by making users’ profiles to a visible service on the other.
Initially, the service was able to move the Bluesky account of the user to a bridged account that crosses the two networks and then to the user’s Mastodon account.

With today’s launch, Bounce 2 can now do the opposite: it can move the social chart of a Mastodon user to Bluesky or merge it into a bridged profile for their existing Bluesky account (or Atproto).
Things are a little different when moving in this direction, the organization notes.
When Bluesky’s “bounce” to Mastodon, if the Mastodon account was already bridged, then the lists of the user’s fans will merge, they will not be replaced. In addition, when bounce from Mastodon to Bluesky, your initial posts and content will not come with you, as opposed to traffic in the other direction.
“We believe that services like Bluesky and Mastodon are only points of entry into the open social fabric. communication by a new social recognition. “People should be able to change their minds. They use technologies that work best for them and still connect with their people, no matter what they use.”
Bounce 2 starts later this month and users can support the non -profit organization through Father or commercial shop.
