Bridge request for Bluesky

Bridge request

General information

• Host URI for the bridge (i.e. https://github.com): https://bsky.social

• Which information would you like to see? Item titles, short text content and images.

• How should the information be displayed/formatted? It should be formatted in in a way, that the title and the corresponding picture is shown in the feed preview (without opening the article to see the full content). Please see the attached screenshots below. Bluesky offers public RSS feeds out of the box, but they are formatted in a way which makes them almost useless, in my opinion (no item titles and no images). One screenshot shows the current RSS implementation of Bluesky, the other one is an example how all other feeds (I am aware of) are displayed. The screenshots are taken from the Android app of a self-hosted instance of TT-RSS.

• Which of the following parameters do you expect?

  • [X] Title
  • [X] URI (link to the original article)
  • [ ] Author
  • [ ] Timestamp
  • [X] Content (the content of the article)
  • [X] Enclosures (pictures, videos, etc...)
  • [ ] Categories (categories, tags, etc...)

Options

• [ ] Limit number of returned items
  • Default limit: 5
• [ ] Load full articles
  • Cache articles (articles are stored in a local cache on first request): yes
  • Cache timeout (max = 24 hours): 24 hours
• [X] Balance requests (RSS-Bridge uses cached versions to reduce bandwith usage)
  • Timeout (default = 5 minutes, max = 24 hours): 5 minutes

Additional notes

This bridge request was created after this discussion.

I tried making a bridge for bluesky some months ago but gave up due to their annoying API.

I just would like to +1 this. I'd also love a feed for Bluesky that actually shows images and links. I'd also like to be able to see reposts, that don't even show up in the available feed at the moment.
