I expect it would be technically possible to have lemmy-like or peertube-like services built on top of the AT protocol Bluesky uses, like with ActivityPub. And I expect if/when that happens the communication across services would probably work too.
In fact, accounts being “portable” in the AT protocol can potentially make the integration more seamless across different services, not only can the posts be seen from different services, but you might be able to directly access those different services with the same account. Imagine if you could just login in lemmy with a mastodon account or vice-versa.
Bluesky is just one of the possible services. And as long as the invites are private and there’s no way to host your own instance, I wouldn’t even consider it an alternative, since it isn’t even really open to the public. It’s a bit early to judge.
I was going to say the same but don’t know enough about BlueSky’s ATProtocol to be sure about the possibilities.
In principle, you’d hope they’ve added enough flexibility on there for different platform types. If they have, next year could get interesting as they open up federation. There seems to be a bit of buzz and interest around BlueSky, and if they garner the interest of enough developers who feel like they can make new things on the platform/protocol, then new things could happen and, if they attract a sizeable Twitter migration, go kinda mainstream pretty quickly.

It seems BlueSky have explicit plans for their protocol to extend to all types of platforms: https://atproto.com/blog/building-on-atproto#what-to-expect
Which means they’re coming for the fediverse, and may just succeed.
