Has anyone successfully managed to get Ghost posts to be shared automatically with Bluesky?

Bluesky doesnât have a Zapier integration, so there is no âplug and playâ option and it will require some coding.
The base for it would be the Bluesky API: Posting via the Bluesky API | AT Protocol
Technically, you could use the Code by Zapier integration to stitch that together. For reference, somebody wrote a tutorial on how to do it with Make, which you could use as inspiration: Connect Bluesky and MAKE.com for new posts - Jans Weblog

Interesting. Do you find Bluesky able to generate traffic?

Donât know, as we have only just set it up, but we brought over a large portion of our Twitter and Mastodon followers, so there are people there â like with Mastodon, we want to automate everything about it. Twitter/FB/Instagram still dominate traffic.

Figured out posting to Blue Sky with Make, itâs messy - the API does not pull image URLâs, only local assets, Make has local storage module available which saves the day.
Basically
- Pull Feature or Twitter Image from Ghost to local storage
- Resolve user with BlueSky
- Create a session
- Push the image to BlueSky, generates a blob
- Split up the image-blob json
- Post to Blue Sky
⌠and looks goodâŚ

Iâve also been able to do this using Node-Red. The process is exactly as @mheland describes.
I found this example helpful:
One issue I ran into is that image blobs have to be less than 1MB.

With something like this comment pulls @emilyliu.me on Bluesky
and autoposting to bsky it could be a great integration
In relation to Bluesky, I saw she posted about using Bluesky for comments which might give some insight into things, and would love to know if anyone has tried this yet Using Bluesky posts as blog comments

I guess you could use Mastodon as âmiddlewareâ
Feed your Ghost RSS to https://mastofeed.org/ then use https://skymoth.app/ to mirror it into Bsky
Be keen to hear if anyone gets this bsky comment thing working: https://airview.so/comments/

Hey,
Iâve been taking a look at building a custom Integration between ghost and bluesky:
Basically itâs a web server that you can startup then add it as a custom integration with the post-published webhook and it will automatically post an excerpt and a link to your post.
Currently itâs probably only going to be good for self-hosted, as it doesnât verify that the web hook is coming from your ghost instance, but it might be good for some of you!
