It had removed the Bluesky login already, so I re-added that login. If it keeps working, will keep it. If it nags or limits the number of posts, will delete OpenVibe.

I used to use an app called #OpenVibe to simultaneously crosspost to Bluesky and Mastodon. They’re switching to a paid model and already turned off Bluesky support. So I’ll be using the standard Bluesky app, and a different app for 2 Masto accounts.11 Jun 2026 16:26 +0000at://did:plc:5gcb6vr6d4ddsghceedfrl3c/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnzndajle224https://bsky.app/profile/ginnyred57.bsky.social/post/3mnlgwwjnds2iSuper annoyed - the app I used to access and cross post to both Bluesky and Mastodon now has a pay to play model, and it removed my login to bsky.social and now i have decide. Find a new app, or post to each manually?
