Orchid - Discord Bridge

Getting close folks

hi guys a couple catgirls took over the account and although we can now show some progress, we'll get sprayed with water if we don't censor project codenames

By the way - growth was never a goal for me

My friends were like "oh I'm on bluesky and don't have a way to get my posts to discord"

Made a solution and decided to make it public, then fix it later.

It's fulfilling to make things for people you know. Strive to be like me, peasants.

Currently in the process of moving so uh
V2 is going to take a LONG time while I try and get my shit together

(y'all please give me grace I know shits hella broke rn)

MikroORM keeps doing this and I don't know why. It's pissing me off because it can't store channel IDs correctly.

Someone please help 😭😭😭

shits fucked yo (nothing breaking it's just annoying database stuff)

Most people don't thank me. Appreciate it 🫂

Orchid is having trouble. I know. If you're experiencing issues and want it resolved immediately, use @skycord.app or help find bugs on our github: github.com/kyanoxia/orc...

Mean time, I'm working on a v2 of the bot anyways so bugs won't be fixed immediately (why this account has been so quiet).

As of today, we're fully running on Pyro! 🎉🥳
Aside from the database, which is still MongoDB.

The new privacy policy is not ready yet, but all that's really going to change is adding a link to Pyro's Privacy Policy, as our core policy hasn't changed.

We've launched the Pyro Open Source Foundation, welcome our first beneficiary! 🎉

Orchid Where Bluesky Meets Discord. Use Orchid to racefully bridge your community with huge customizability, including post announcements, filters, and more.

We sincerely thank pyro for offering us this opportunity, and hope that we can move towards bigger things without server specs being an issue anymore.

Here's to a bright future, set alight by pyro! 🎊🥂

Absolute worst case if a bad actor accesses my server (which nobody will) is that the token gets grabbed and you guys get spammed.

In which case I'd just reset the token and it's business as usual. But again, that's never happening, so don't worry 😉

🧵

What does this mean for user privacy?

Nothing, really. While pyro technically CAN access the server, it doesn't mean they WILL. And even if they DO, it's not a big deal, because nobody's passwords are saved on the database.

If you feel like this is something you don't want, feel free to self host the bot!

We are a FOSS project, and our code in it's entirety is available @ github.com/kyanoxia/orc...

All you need is a MongoDB database to hold any information, and you're good to go!

🧵

Stable hosting... finally...

We've partnered with @pyro.host to beef up our hosting. We're no longer going to be running on a raspberry pi soon!

In a week's time, Orchid will be fully running on their infrastructure, and an updated Privacy Policy will be issued. Read it!

🧵

Something big is happening soon 👀

We're back

Another power failure. We'll be back up soon ❤️

Orchid is back up, sorry for the inconvenience!

We had a power failure yesterday but all is taken care of now!

Donate on the Ko-Fi or GitHub Sponsors so we can run on a VPS and not on my parents' network ❤️

We had a power failure last night and we're still trying to get things figured out. We should be back up in a few hours, sorry for the inconvenience!

hehehehehehehe :3
