Allow setting alternative avatar or transparency color for bluesky #1434

I bridged my fedi account to bluesky, it filled transparency with white, either automatically or by jpeg-ing it. image

Would be nice to either have an ability to upload an alternative version of the avatar or set the color which will replace transparency instead.

Fascinating request! I definitely get it.

I'm unlikely to start processing or hosting images in Bridgy Fed directly, but it's interesting to think about how users could specify an alternate avatar image.

Doesn't it upload fedi avatar to bluesky when creating the profile?

Could fill transparency at that step at least

There's no image download or upload. Bridgy Fed is its own PDS, it manages its own blobs, and it does that by using the original image URLs from your fediverse instance directly.
