Bluesky Application Setup

Bluesky is a decentralized social network focused on open protocols and community‑driven identity. While it’s not a traditional “social network giant,” many tech‑savvy and early‑adopter audiences are active there. Adding Bluesky integration to your Joomla site can be a very wise choice if your visitors value modern, open social platforms.

To add Bluesky integration to your site, you will need to update the bluesky-client-metadata.json file that's installed in your /plugins/jfbconnect/provider_bluesky/oauth-client directory:

  1. Open the /plugins/jfbconnect/provider_bluesky/oauth-client/bluesky-client-metadata.json file.
  2. Replace every instance of https://yourdomain.com with your actual domain.
  3. Fill out logo_uri, tos_uri and policy_uri with actual links to the logo, terms of service and privacy policy documents of your site.
  4. Save the file.
  5. In the JFBConnect backend > Providers > Bluesky section:
    1. Set Client Metadata URL to the JSON files' value for client_id.
    2. Make sure the Authorization Server URL is set to https://bsky.social
    3. Save your changes
