Bluesky’s federation doesn’t exist yet. Maybe they’ve written some code, but I can’t self-host something that Bluesky users can follow.
You can run their code today and federate in their sandbox environment, but yeah, their “production network” still doesn’t federate yet. They said a while ago that the remaining work to be done was mostly around moderation; currently they say they expect to enable federation early next year but they have several other things on their pre-federation TODO now.
You can find details about their federation sandbox here and here.
Agreed, bsky is currently developing and testing its federation capabilities with multiple servers in-house, which is an elaborate way of scaling but doesn’t actually have the critical necessary component for a federation, ie another entity on the other side. Bsky is the sole operator, administrator, moderator, and arbiter.

I’m glad to hear it’s not vaporware. Launching without open federation doesn’t give me a lot of confidence they view it as a core feature.
