Common questions

How long is the URL valid?
About an hour. Fetch a new one if it expires.
Can I connect two accounts on the same network?
Yes, up to the plan's account total. Call connect again and log in as the other account.
Why does Bluesky return connect_requires_human?
Bluesky connects with a handle and app password typed into the app's Accounts page, so there is no URL to hand over.
