A look at Bluesky's proposed approach to private data on ATProto

Off the Clock: a members-only community on atproto spaces

Hi everyone! I’d like to share Off the Clock, a members-only community site for friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors, built on atproto spaces. This started as a hands-on experiment to model and work through communities, sub-communities, and feeds in the context of atproto space and has been instrumental in working through the quirks and processes. (The screenshots are from a working demo community with made-up members.) What it is Off the Clock is a community container that implement...

Rashid Aziz: Extending ATproto for private data - ATProto Community

The Community Manager Pattern - Nick's Blog

This post looks more closely at Brittany Ellich's work on representing groups in ATProtocol. It builds on earlier conversations and explores how these ideas might work in practice.

Representing groups in ATProto

I wanted to add book clubs to my GoodReads-like app (Collective), but ATProto doesn't have a standard way to handle shared group resources yet. So I'm building opensocial.community—a separate service that manages groups independently from…

WG Community Standards

A community space for coordinating, convening, and collaboration around ATProto

Roomy and community organizing for system change

Roomy is a group messaging app that gives online communities tools for autonomous collaboration — designable spaces not just for chat, but for cultivating a web of shared understanding together. We show how cheap, user-controlled, interoperable data on ATProto can enable online communities to channel impassioned mobilizing into sustained organizing in the shadow of Big Tech's empire.

Open Social

Community management infrastructure for ATProto applications.

What ATProto Needs to Support Consentful Distributed Community Governance

[Proposal] WG for group/community standards and infrastructure in ATProto

Interested in contributing — specifically to Phase 1 (shared ontology and community archetypes). I’m a cognitive linguist and university researcher. My work on the AT Protocol side includes Mezzanine, an information networking system using opaque cashtag connectors as a routing layer, and two Leaflet pieces on community infrastructure as a gradient — from permissionless tag-based commons to credentialed spaces. The reason I’m flagging my disciplinary background: Phase 1 is where this WG will e...

Permissioned Data Diary 2: Buckets - Daniel's Leaflets

The second in a series of posts building up a solution to permissioned data on atproto. We introduce buckets: a new protocol primitive for creating a shared social context.
