Emerging from being "down in the technical weeds" of #atproto is a little mashup of @semble.so & WayFinder (wayfinders.network) Semble team released "open collections" this week - here we explore the "private & permissioned data" collection, created by @bmann.ca & now with 3 other contributors

In this permissioned data diary, we dive deep into the URI structure for permissioned data on atproto and use it to motivate a bunch of the larger design.

Follow your peers' research trails. Surface and discover new connections. Built on ATProto so you own your data.

🪩 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.

@dholms.at motivated me to make a follow up post on Stratos, @transrights.northsky.social approach to permission data on ATproto! This one is a bit of a brief technical overview and as a nice bonus, I've made the code base public.

chipnick.comI'm only JUST starting to explore @semble.so as a potential research tool but if anyone is curious to follow (I will be making many missteps, just to warn you 😉), you can find my Collections at semble.so/profile/debbieohi.com/collect…
Debbie Ridpath Ohi's collections — Semble
semble.somy hot take is that @semble.so is on par with traditional search engines for atproto related topics (and it's only curated by people!)

Curated retrieval versus open web search in public AI information services: a coverage-trust trade-off

Early results are encouraging: experiences organizing against the surveillance-industrial complex in the ATmosphere and the fediverses

Permissioned Spaces Made Pretty — Lexidraw
atproto spaces repo export: feels a bit odd to do a giant index block. seems like this will put a low (and hard) cap on the number of record…
