this week's news is about how @tangled.org @npmx.dev and @alt.store are using open social networking protocols to build, distribute, and discover software, and how the most important part is not the code but the community building part connectedplaces.online/reports/fr157-social-software…

The communities globe is now live. Thanks @davidwhittingham.com atmosphere.community/communities

Congrats to @wordpress.org & @pfefferle.org for shipping the first 1.0.0 version of an Atmosphere plugin for WordPress. WordPress posts are published as microblog posts as well as @standard.site long form posts. Read all the other features in the blog post

There is a very good question about how @standard.site resonates but the shared @lexicon.community event lexicon doesn’t as much. Would love feedback in this forum thread.

After #Atmosphereconf, I'm left thinking... Should we have a working group for protocol-native community infrastructure? So many people I talked to seem to be on a similar page, I think prolonged conversations would go a long way to designing resilient, people-first communities

It’s a bit of an open secret that a group of us is working on forming an Atmosphere Community Co-op (which we’ll share more about publicly soon!) @roguewave.design created an open collection on @semble.so called Co-operatives. Please do share resources there.

Existing communities on Discord shouldn't have to choose between the critical mass of members they've built up on the legacy platform versus the agency afforded to them by @roomy.space Introducing Roomy's first premium feature: Discord-Roomy bridging! 🌉 (free for non-profits)

How neat is that?! Added a @standard.site GH action, and now content from my personal site is being distributed onto the Atmosphere by default. 🤯

I just released exosphere.site. Exosphere is a modular, self-hostable set of tools for community management on AT Proto. The first tool is Infuse: a feature request management tool.
