Explore Bluesky social network without invitation

Bluesky recently gained a lot of media attention, but is still invite only.

If you want to already explore the network while sitting on the waitlist, here is a small trick: The SPXP bridge is already handling the AT protocol! You can use it to explore the network via SPXP, for example Jack's account: https://bridge.spxp.org/at/@jack.bsky.social

You can either hop through the json data in a web browser (Firefox works best) or use a mobile client like the https://heyfolks.app. It even suggests a couple of Bluesky accounts to follow on initial setup.
