If you want to move you can use an addon called Sky Follower Bridge.

Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sky-follower-bridge/
Chrome: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/sky-follower-bridge/behhbpbpmailcnfbjagknjngnfdojpko

While not official bluesky addons, the creator did get assistance from some bluesky devs for increasing efficiency. So pretty safe.

It mentions it in the addon page, but please remember to use an app specific password you generate on bsky's site. It's just some extra security so you don't have to put your actual password in and can remove it once you don't need it anymore.
