Is there a #Bluesky connector available for Hubzilla? That i can follow Bluesky accounts or mirror my Bluesky account to my stream and interact with it?

No, and it's highly unlikely there'll ever be one. Friendica's Bluesky connector is AGPL-licensed, so you can't simply build it into MIT-licensed Hubzilla. Also, I don't think @Mario Vavti would be too keen on adding yet another protocol to Hubzilla which, in practice, will probably end up non-nomadic and thus disrupting Hubzilla's nomadic identity (same reason why ActivityPub is off by default).

@Jupiter Rowland But AP can be activated per hub as an option. Something like that would be nice. Off by default, on if wanted. My current main account on Friendica has that option, but it has to be activated by the instance admin.

@⚝ Mirk0 ⚝ It's on by default on a hub level, but off by default on a channel level.

And besides, Mario would still have to develop an all-new connector. He can't take any code from Friendica. And the last time he added any new protocol to Hubzilla was ActivityPub itself, and that was 2017.
