Bsky federates. I follow several people from my Mastodon profile.
Edit: I should add a caveat here. Federation doesn't work as smoothly as Threads yet. You have to use a bridge service: https://fed.brid.gy/
Oh, well that's good anyway. Is it true that they only have like one major server? Because I've heard that, but I haven't looked much into them, so I'm not sure if it's still the case or not. To my understanding, they are meant to be a federated network, but really only have the one server.
Yeah this is still true as far as I know. Honestly this is probably what allowed BS to gain a foothold; I like mastodon too but asking new users to pick a server was always going to be a source of adoption friction.
