What is atproto?
What is atproto? atproto is two things: A protocol for creating open social networks An open social network atproto, the open social network Today the atproto network has 36+ million users and powers Bluesky and a handful of other apps. Almost all atproto data is public. Content like posts, likes, follows, and photos/videos are publicly accessible to any network participant in a permissionless way. As an example of how open the network is, here’s how easy it is to stream all public data on the network using a public atproto Relay like bsky.network:

notes.wesleyfinck.orgImagining atproto as a post-app protocol starts with materializing the social filesystem – decomposing apps and their data into materials and instruments. For the time being, this guestbook is a good example where the display element is a material and the sign element is an instrument.

in any case, the end game is composing these little guys, whatever goes on behind the scenes. social components

Margin
Margin now supports Semble cards and collections! Support Margin likes, comments, and extension. Also included in this update: New feeds, Popular, Margin, and Semble Check it out at margin.at (Note: Cosmik is working on bringing Margin to Semble, and the update should be here in the next days)
This is partly why I think atproto needs a more convincing vision about being a post-app protocol. A future where atproto is a bunch of apps and each app governs their own lexicon diminishes a lot of its potential in the long-term.

yeah i think i might actually, theres a very interesting story here that the main thing that matters is a focal point around which consensus over a lexicon can get formed

As @awarm.space pointed out in the replies, ‘traffic’ was never the real goal for authors. What we want is for our stuff to be read, and expand-on-click article embeds enables that, with AT-net metrics. The prospect of mutual syndication is the entire premise of our shared presence here on atproto.
