Not for me - I already spend hours a day on iNat. But [there is already an **active** iNat presence there](https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:5qffsgcrvg7lbhhxz6l7ip2x/feed/aaaapg7ifgtks) With a [‘good’ science feed](https://goodfeeds.co/search?q=science) [Scientific community finds a new home on Bluesky](https://www.science.org/content/article/old-twitter-scientific-community-finds-new-home-bluesky) 20 Nov 2024 [Previous topic](https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/inaturalist-bluesky-feed/47044/7) was closed in November 2023 when you still needed to sign in first. ---

If you’re a fan of the open web, I could add that there’s plenty of fun iNat activity on Mastodon too (you can follow the tag #iNaturalist: [https://mastodon.social/tags/inaturalist](https://mastodon.social/tags/inaturalist)). For example, this evening I learned about this [spider mimicking ant in Singapore](https://mastodon.social/@mof_sg@kopiti.am/113662859670780858). You can connect Mastodon through to Bluesky and vice versa using [Bridgy Fed](https://fed.brid.gy/) so you can get the best of both worlds (that’s for users that turn that bridge on for their accounts, it’s opt in—If you choose Bluesky, please do turn it on, by following [@ap.brid.gy](https://bsky.app/profile/ap.brid.gy)). You’ll see my iNaturalist tagged posts on that Bluesky feed above, but they’re all from me being active on Mastodon. It’s the way an open social media ecosystem should be working. ---

Are there multiple iNat Bluesky accounts? ---

I think, tiwane said he would look into adding more social media to their daily social media feeds. I see their FB posts. ---

I doubt “inaturalist.bsky.social” is an official account, it is remarkably empty and not even verified. Looks more like a placeholder/namesquatting account. ---

If so, I’m not the only person confused. In a recent iNat bolg post, I asked about iNat on Bluesky and was given that same link by another commenter. ---
