Set your domain name as your handle for a BlueSky bot which is bridged from the Fediverse

If you've found this page, it's because you are me in the future and want to remember these instructions!
Create an account on the Fediverse using a domain you control
For example @user@bots.example.com
Follow the Fediverse-ATProto bridge @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy

Your account will need to be over 2 weeks old and have a name, profile picture, etc.
You now have an account on BSky! Its name will be something like user.bots.example.com.ap.brid.gy
Get the DID of your account
https://public.api.bsky.app/xrpc/app.bsky.actor.getProfile?actor=user.bots.example.com.ap.brid.gy
Or https://fed.brid.gy/ap/@user@bots.example.com
Add the DID to your domain

I think the easiest way is sticking it in a plain text file at bots.example.com/.well-known/atproto-did
Use the BSky Debugger to make sure it was successful.
Send a Direct Message from the Fediverse to @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy. The message must only contain username bots.example.com.
That's literally the word username. It isn't your account's username.
Wait a few moments.
Your bot will now be on BSky as https://bsky.app/profile/bots.example.com!

You can see that https://bot.viii.fi/bot is also available at https://bsky.app/profile/bot.viii.fi
