Oh this is interesting. At first I thought it was yet another lexicon to wrap data on, but it's a way for anyone to use ATProto as a discovery mechanism for their non-PDS-hosted datasets. I hadn't thought of the ATmosphere and the relays as a way to surface arbitrary existing data until know.

🪩 Introducing matadisco.org! — a way to discover open datasets via #atproto that doesn't depend on any single institution staying online. 🕺🏼 We have more public data than ever (satellite imagery, climate models, genomic sequences), but finding it is still painfully hard.

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:

ATmentions
Webmentions for the ATmosphere — a tiny open-source widget that shows how the atproto network reacted to any page, with no accounts and no lock-in.
ATproto Wrapped — your year on the ATmosphere
Drop a Bluesky handle and we'll pull the entire repo from your PDS and turn every lexicon — posts, likes, scrobbles, the long-tail stuff — into a magazine-style spread.
Crowdsourced Research Synthesis on ATProto: Envisioning an Inclusive Future - Jay Patel - @infotainm
Every post, like, and blog entry on atproto sits in your Personal Data Server (PDS) as structured data you own, which means building experiences that are extremely customized to you has never been easier. atproto + AI is incredibly powerful! #atproto

July 2026 update for the atproto implementations tables. ➡️ github.com/threddyrex/atproto-links I refreshed the PDS and AppView data, and added a new table for Relays. There are 23 PDSs, 4 AppViews, and 5 Relays.
