Gravatar, or “Globally Recognized Avatar,” now offers its users more free domain options and Bluesky integration for a limited time. These domains, featuring extensions like .bio, .link, .social or .contact, can be used across the Gravatar profile, email signature, or business cards and seamlessly integrate with Bluesky, the decentralized social network that’s gaining traction.
Bluesky uses domains as handles instead of traditional @usernames giving users more control over their online identity and Gravatar users can use their custom domains as their Bluesky handles. Custom domains build trust and credibility, ensuring a unique and professional online presence.
Users can claim their domain directly from their dashboard, connect it to their Bluesky account, and start using the domain as their Bluesky handle. No need to worry about complex DNS configurations or technical know-how.
Gravatar is offering the first year of domain ownership completely free. But this offer is only available for a limited time. For more information, check out the guide on using Gravatar with Bluesky.
The Gravatar team shared that “This integration reinforces our belief that everyone should have full ownership of their digital identity.”
The Gravatar team became active again in 2023 after a long hiatus, launching new payment features for profiles. Then they released a new REST API, native integrations for Gravatar Mobile SDK and Gravatar Enhanced plugin for WordPress.
