this is really great, and i'm glad that you're thinking about it!! I just started building @atmobb.app and wanted to build a way for it to pull in topics from similar forums and landed on subscribing to a "topic" for those forums. very excited to see what happens!!
@danabra.mov nerdsniped me into building a small communities-on-bsky experiment: atmo.garden how it works: - create a community on atmo.garden e.g. atproto, will automatically create an acc: @atproto.atmo.garden - send DMs of bsky post to that acc and they will get reposted or quoted by that acc
Note: the community forum has moved to discourse.atmosphere.community Thanks to @scottlanoue.com for handling the entire migration as part of the community infra team. Email is now @comail.at powered! New AIP instance login.atmosphere.community Full write up on the forum

I wanted to make a streamlined phpBB but with modernized tech Check out the code, github.com/randyau/bsBB or play with the live instance at forum.counting-stuff.com

media.mit.eduthe general bsky userbase being a lil dismissive of the standard.site integration is a reminder that this whole atproto atmosphere ecosystem is a long game. not everyone will be on board, and that's ok! we'll be ready to welcome people into a decentralized social future as big social fades away :)
