I might be missing something about the protocol, but when logged into BlueSky, I can't interact with BlackSky accounts at all. I specifically have to have an account there to even follow a BlackSky account. I'm not as familiar with ATProto as ActivityPub, but following someone from another Mastodon instance, for example, is seamless as long as I'm logged in to the account I have on my home instance.

Can you describe what happens? That would be a pretty significant bug. Users are hosted all over the place and typically interact fine.

  I was trying to interact with the account mentioned in the grekpak blog post here: https://blacksky.community/profile/did:plc:w4xbfzo7kqfes5zb7r6qv3rw https://blacksky.community/profile/did:plc:w4xbfzo7kqfes5zb7... I can't comment, follow, like, or anything like that without getting the "Sign in or create your account to join the cookout!" popup. I wasn't trying to cause problems or get downvoted, this is just the the first non-BlueSky PDS I've ever come across and was curious to see the federation work.

    Oh just look them up on the app you have an account with (I believe bluesky). @rude1.blacksky.team

      Ah, okay, thank you. I was expecting it to work more like Mastodon in the sense that I can go to a different instance and interact with accounts seamlessly without having to bring them up in my own instance, but this is fine, too.

I follow, and am followed by, folks who use Blacksky and interact with them regularly. I have had zero issue with this, at any point. As Paul (the CTO of Bluesky) said in a sibling comment this would be a very serious bug. FWIW— I have also not heard anything even remotely close to this at all from anyone using either service.
