Custom Domain Handles on ActivityPub => ATProto Bridge Accounts Not Reflected in Profile

[thomasjwebb]

I'm loving having custom domains on my bridge accounts. One little annoyance though is the profile still shows the old, bridge name. Is there any way to change that?

The url https://bsky.app/profile/thomaswebb.net works, however the profile still shows the longer name

Hi! Looks like you still need to DM username thomaswebb.net to @bsky.brid.gy: https://fed.brid.gy/docs#bluesky-enhanced

I already did that before. That's why https://bsky.app/profile/thomaswebb.net works. But maybe there's an issue because I did it early on, right after this was implemented?

Okay it looks like redoing it fixes the handle. Thanks!

Looking at your DID doc history on https://internect.info/did/did:plc:xkqnuooc7wpi6vimkkvgdosx , Bridgy Fed only added the custom domain today. If you sent the username DM before, I'm guessing it wasn't connected at that point and you didn't get a confirmation DM back.

Regardless, you'll need to do the setup again now for the new DID. Sorry for the runaround!

Why did the url work before? Is that solely on the bluesky side? If that's the case, maybe what happened is that all the times I tried to bridge an account, the DNS change hadn't propagated in time for bridgy fed to see it, but bsky was able to see it (since these urls on bluesky worked pretty much right away) because both are using different nameservers or something.

If your Bluesky profile still showed the ap.brid.gy handle, then it only half worked. Bluesky may see your DNS and redirect the custom domain handle, but the DID doc needs to be updated to actually set it as the handle, which is what BF's username command does.
