    Ah, thanks. And are those people then connected to the same network and can follow each other, or are those entirely seperate? Pardon my lack of knowledge about Bluesky and ATProto.

      Bluesky’s network has 2 main layers, the PDS layer, and the appview layer.

      Everyone’s PDS stores their posts, likes and account, and handles authentication.
      It doesn’t do anything else. an appview gathers posts from PDSes, and indexes and sorts them (for feeds and notifications).
      AppViews all share the same posts, so they’re in the same network.
