I have no control over how they appear. I quote-post a lot, & that's how they show up, out of my control.

2/ Adding, because someone always asks why I don’t originate my posts from Mastodon:
The main reason I’m over there to begin with is because that’s where my sources are. As I said in my reply to Crow, it was too overwhelming to keep duplicating my original posts from Bsky over here. (I’ve explained this before, a lot, but just in case you missed those.)

@GottaLaff do @anewsocial know about this issue?
I think we could do better? Happy to help if needed.
@evan @anewsocial No idea.

@GottaLaff Actually, I haven't seen any of your posts in my feed here in quite a while; this is literally the first.
I don't have a Bluesky account for two reasons:
1. I moved here full-time to get as far away from corporate interests as possible;
2. I will have no truck with Jack Dorsey. He sold out with Twitter, and he's also a proponent of AI generally, and AI being used to replace workforces in particular.

@GottaLaff @anewsocial sorry, I was kind of summoning them into the conversation.

@GottaLaff I appreciate you taking the time to put that one line in so I have an idea what the post is about.

@GottaLaff
Thank you for posting so much of interest. I am so sorry you had this very petty annoyance directed at you.

Ah, well.... I blocked the bridge when it became clear the leadership of BS are scum - mostly to protect people here that I quote. So I don't actually get ANY of your bridged posts here...That's okay, though, because I read them in an RSS reader. It does mean I don't get to interact with you, which makes me sad, but that's a decision I made.
So... hey, keep doing what you're doing. We love you for it despite the tech issues and annoyances.

Good to see you here from time to time.

Laffy - As far as I can tell, you're not getting paid for the service you're providing, and neither am I. Which leaves me with a question mark floating over my head...
Anywho, for anyone who is reading this thread, I am trying to 'bridge' the gap a bit by replying to @GottaLaff 's posts with an image (jpg) of the linked B.S. post. Usually with a minimum of commentary, but I make no promises.
HTH

@GottaLaff @anewsocial I looked over the GitHub issues for the bridge. I guess the problem is when you boost Bluesky content that is by someone who hasn't bridged their account. Interesting question!

I really appreciate this.

I click on the link every time, thanks. Keep 'em coming!
I do wish Bluesky had never given users the option of blocking people from not even seeing posts if not signed in. Self-limiting their audience makes no sense to me. But it's a minor annoyance overall.
@gghocket @GottaLaff Yes, agree. The biggest issue for me are the Laffy boosts of Blue Sky that just say “This person doesn’t allow unauthorized people to read their posts” or something similar to that. It’s a lot like an image without alt text.
