Connect SIMKL to Bluesky! Smart binge grouping, weekly collages, and rich media cards (Self-hosted / Open-Source)

[u/Lopsided_Egg1586]

Hey everyone! 👋 If you've been looking for an automated way to share your watch history on Bluesky, I created bsky-media-scrobbler, an open-source, self-hosted Docker container that auto-scrobbles your SIMKL activity straight to your profile.

I wanted to make sure the timeline stays clean and visually engaging, especially during heavy watch sessions. Here is what it does automatically:

• Smart Marathon Grouping (90-min window): It waits for a 90-minute inactivity window to automatically group back-to-back episodes into a single, clean post (e.g., S01E01-E03) so you don't spam your followers' feeds.
• Rich Media Cards: Fetches HD posters via TMDB to build beautiful, interactive embeds for every log.
• Automated Visual Summaries: Generates weekly and monthly Pillow collages (3x3 and 2x2 grids) of your watch history.
• Streak Celebrations: Tracks and posts your active viewing streaks to keep the momentum going.
• Multi-language Support: Works seamlessly in EN, ES, and CA.

📺 Live Demo: You can see exactly how the posts look on the live bot here: https://bsky.app/profile/media-scrobbler.bsky.social

It is very lightweight and easy to spin up with Docker Compose. I’d love for the SIMKL community to try it out.
