Not sure if your information is outdated or if you’re using a different definition of federate, but this blog post says they have support for a degree of federation: https://bsky.social/about/blog/02-22-2024-open-social-web
Hmm thanks. It looks like you can set up a server with their protocol but it doesnt use activitypub. So it is technically federated but its not part of the whole mastodon/lemmy/pixelfed/etc fediverse.
