My money's on BS never federating at all. Mastodon Instances are communities unto themselves. The way BS is set up means an "instance" is essentially just free additional hosting for BlueSky Inc. It's decentralized similarly to how crypto is decentralized. Of course, what else would one expect from Jack.
For real. It's not like Twitter was markedly different before Elon.
There's a sandbox with federation with third party clients already live. Every piece of the system can be federated or substituted.
If somebody wanted to fork out and federate in open now they could. They aren't doing so because it's still work in progress, especially moderation tooling and scaling needs improvements
