Reacting with a light blue 🩵-emoji to a message containing a Bluesky post for the first time will send you an authorization link via DMs. You don't have to create an app password or anything, just simply authorize Wamellow with your Bluesky account.
Setup#
- Add Wamellow to your server by going to wamellow.com/add.
- Head to your connections by going to wamellow.com/profile/connections.
- Click Connect Bluesky and follow the steps.
- Reacting with a 🩵 emoji to any message containing a Bluesky post.
For Wamellow's features to work, you must invite the bot to your server. Ensure it has the View Channel permission in all channels where you want to use its capabilities.
🩵 Like using reactions#
To like a post, you must react with either the light blue heart (🩵) or the blue heart (💙) emoji.
Wamellow will automatically react with 🩵 to any message containing a link matching one of the following patterns:
*.app/profile/*/post/**.social/profile/*/post/*
🤔 Discord Direct Messages Disabled#
If you have DMs disabled on Discord, you can connect your Bluesky account manually. Simply visit wamellow.com/profile/connections to link your account directly.
🗄️ Using a Custom Personal Data Server (PDS)#
Wamellow is compatible with any PDS, including Bluesky mushroom, Spark PDS, or your own self-hosted server.
How to connect your custom PDS:
- Go to the Wamellow DM on Discord or visit wamellow.com/profile/connections.
- Click on Connect 3rd-party PDS.
- Enter your Bluesky handle (e.g.,
shi.gg) and follow the on-screen instructions.
Note: Re-authorizing the connection will typically resolve any problems. If you are unfamiliar with what a PDS is, you can disregard this section.
Wamellow will attempt to automatically refresh your session once a month. PDSs usually enforce a maximum session duration of three months and a total lifetime of two years. You may need to re-authorize more often if your PDS has a shorter session duration or if the lifetime limit is reached.
🚨 Interaction with Bluesky Notifications#
When Wamellow sends a Bluesky post notification in Discord, you will see two additional buttons that allow you to interact directly with the post:
- Like: Click the 🩵 button to like the post on Bluesky.
- Repost: Click the repost emoji button to repost it.
