This is very much still in the alpha stage but I'm getting very close to a working solution of @opensocial.community ! This is an #ATProto app that will allow managing community resources across multiple app views 😁 Thanks @tompscanlan.bsky.social for helping out on it 😍

@toni.bsky.team @alexbenzer.com i think yall need to wrestle with the fact that the app’s most distinctive feature (“custom feeds”) is something only (relative) nerds use and benefit from. normal people won’t swipe between many algorithms or whatever. have a look at past designs for “communities”

For anyone building new apps and tools on ATproto that are … 🌐 on the Open Web 🌱 past the prototype stage ✨ reimagining the social internet New_ Public, @publicspaces.net and @waag.org are investing up to €10,000 in alternatives to Big Tech Learn more, share, or apply by May 1st newpublic.org/OSA

Shipped a new thing on @airglow.run: social graph sync 🔄 Pick the apps you use (Bluesky, @tangled.org, @sifa.id, @grain.social, @semble.so), turn it on, and your follows stay identical everywhere. Follow someone on one app, you follow them on the others too

adding social features to our websites will accelerate atproto adoption faster than building pure atproto apps

Building @skysquare.app, I’ve thought a lot about what the future of the @atproto.com ecosystem might look like, and I’m increasingly excited by the possibilities. Skysquare is a useful demonstration of something that feels much bigger than the application itself—the portability of the ATProto post.

I'm building on atproto because I think that a single social network has essentially no shot of dethroning the current tech monopolies. But an open ecosystem of interoperating apps is so infinitely more interesting than legacy social that it seems almost inevitable it will win

🚀 Excited to officially launch periwinkle.social to help folks truly own your social identity on @bsky.app and the growing universe of @atprotocol.dev applications. We manage your Personal Data Server and and handle the hard parts so you don't have to. #ATProtocol #PDS
