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:
microcosm.blue/RecordPath
a textual notation to locate fields within atproto records (draft spec)

This is a web index of atproto data and API schemas: Lexicons. It is an ✨Experimental✨ project from the protocol team at Bluesky.

Day 4 of Reading the ATproto permissioned data spec (dramatic)
My recollection of this is that even if you just pop a new ATProto account into existence and start spitting out `app.bsky.feed.post` records, they don't show up unless you actually go through a Bluesky onboarding & agreeing to ToS, so they should have an email for you through that process.
I love atproto bc wdym I can post my @leaflet.pub posts to my @bsky.app and then those can show up immediately on my @blento.app AND people can read these posts from any other compatible atproto blogging site like @pckt.blog ???

The killer app of atproto is interop

Bluesky is a dominating presence in microblogging on ATproto, I just posted from both Mu and Blacksky and they’re both still using app.bsky.feed.post records. But what if there was a community driven standard for microblogging the same way we have one for long-form posting with @standard.site?
