Log Message:

Add support for mentions and [Unknown site tag] mentions for bluesky. (#3524)

Add support for mentions and [Unknown site tag] mentions for bluesky.

Bluesky usernames are FQDNs, and prior to now the [Bad username or site: user @ site] syntax has used the first dot to indicate where the username ends. Since this won't work for services where the username is the domain name, a special case has been introduced: if the final dotted segment in an mention is shorthand for an atproto-based site, everything else is assumed to be a username. This does introduce an irregularity: user works to reference the bluesky user user, but user does NOT. This is done to prevent the mention as a whole from being a valid domain name (and because future atproto sites may eventually allow usernames that make such constructs ambiguous).

In addition to "bsky.app" and the "bsky" shorthand being added, "bsky.social" has been added to make referencing users with the default domain bluesky uses easier. An "Atproto" site, DW::External::Site::Atproto, as also been added as a place to store common code. It is complete and links to an "account overview" page listing services associated with the account, but has not yet been exposed to users.

At present, bluesky accounts are linked to by username, not be DID. This may be subject to future change.

CODE TOUR: It's now possible to reference bluesky accounts with @mentions! @username.bsky.social works the way you would expect. If a user has a custom username, you can suffix it with .bsky to make the link work (eg, @user.example.com.bsky). <user> tags also work as you would expect (<user name=user.bsky.social site=bsky.app>, <user name=user site=bsky.social>, and <user name=user.example.com site=bsky.app> all do what you expect).
