Interesting bug with these accounts! Looks like there were 16 like this total. Thanks for reporting, and for all of your attention to the bridge in general, I appreciate it. I've fixed this for those 16, hopefully, and I'll work on fixing it going forward.
@globetrotters.bsky.social might be experiencing a similar issue, I think it stopped bridging interactions sometime last week
Ah, they need a profile picture and name. https://fed.brid.gy/docs#bluesky-cant-find

Oh sorry, didn't see that was added. Is that just spam prevention?
Yes! Spam prevention, new as of a couple weeks ago.
I'd like to point out that it's very common for blind users to not have profile or header pictures.
(I'm aware of the spam incident that We Distribute reported on, though, so I get that some filters are necessary.)
Oof, great point. The current filters (display name, profile picture, at least one follower, over two weeks old if we know account age) are definitely crude, at best. Hopefully they'll do more net good than harm, but thank you for the heads up, there's clearly room for improvement.
Noticed in the last day some accounts that opted in from bluesky got a bridged account, but when they post and interact nothing gets visible on the fediverse. The profile is there, but no posts. For example @jascvakne.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy and @knutk.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy opted in, a mirror was created on the fediverse but their activity after the bridge was created doesn't seem to get through.
