Manton Reece - Introducing the Micro.blog PDS
I’ve started rolling out an AT Protocol PDS — personal data server — for new Micro.blog users. In the Bluesky world, a PDS is what stores your posts, follows, photos, and other data from apps. In the same way that creating an account on Micro.blog automatically gives you a fediverse handle, I wanted people to be able to create a Micro.blog account and have everything they needed to sign into Bluesky.

Self-hosting a Bluesky PDS and using your domain as your handle

SMM Tools that connect & post to non-Bluesky PDSs (Blacksky, Eurosky, selfhosted.social PDS etc.) - Hilary's Leaflet
+ some info at the end to help anyone developing one of these tools add non-Bluesky PDS support.
Micro.blog
Post short thoughts or long essays, share photos, all on your own blog. Micro.blog makes it easy, and provides a friendly community where you can share and engage with others.

Making good progress on hosting an AT Proto PDS for new micro.blog users. It’ll launch soon. Important note: it is not for people who already use Bluesky, at least not yet. The goal is to give new users an account on the atmosphere. Existing users will be happier sticking with the Bluesky PDS.
personal blogs remain the project car of millennials. extremely minimal inline scripts and styles! mostly html! data hosted on your pds and rendered out to static html! introducing: fair, a cms for your pds, now powering aparker.io tangled.org/aparker.io/fair

It's a long one 😬 Spent most of my weekend working on the fixes and writing the blog. As well as most of this morning. I'd love to discuss more about this if anyone has questions or I need called out for something👍 I won't say I have figured it all out, just giving my best lol.
I’ve said this elsewhere but I would KILL for (and pay for) a service to host my PDS and have an AP server running off that same data, the way Fedisky set out to enable one social web source of truth. micro.blog feels uniquely positioned to provide this, any chance you’d consider doing that?
