I was reading an author recently talking about how we don't appreciate the way that email isn't siloed. That is, you don't have to be in gmail to talk to someone else in gmail. The norm is so powerful, it'd be unthinkable to change it. All email is interoperable. Social media could've been this way.
The mastodon server I joined in 2022 is shutting down permanently. > Please note that Mastodon can move your followers, but it can’t transfer your old posts or uploaded media to your new account. If you want to keep a copy, download an archive. Yeah totally similar to atproto 🙄
I kid y'all not, I had this idea literally the other night and asked Claude about the feasibility of such a project 😭
SwapPulse@swappulse.org · last wk.Honestly? Trading online used to stress me out. Not anymore. It's built on the AT Protocol, so your posts show up on Bluesky too. Same account, bigger reach. See what we're building: https://swappulse.org #PokemonTCG #ShinyHunting #PokemonCollection
We’re auctioning a limited number of MetroCard Vending Machines and MetroCard Express Machines! The auction is now open and offers must be received by Wednesday, August 19, 2026 at 8 pm EST. Learn more and bid on our website: mta.info/auction
Last night, I was able to successfully implement @standard.site on my @ghost.org blog! I would still like to try the ATproto native applications, but this was a neat little experiment.
turns out the way to keep all the atproto nerds (complimentary) occupied is to just give us all a little messageboard to play around with, doesn't take much
Your unread queue, on your e-reader. Standard Reader now publishes OPDS, so every publication is a catalog any e-reader app can browse. Articles come down as real EPUBs with the images. Comics as CBZ. Read on the device, and your place shows up back in the app. standard-reader.app/guide/e-read...
we've shared previously that we were planning another community day for August 22nd at @recurse.com, here are the details! more to come soon on talks and workshops 👀
atproto.nyc community day 2026
Join us on Saturday, Aug 22nd at the Recurse Center in Brooklyn to learn, hack, and build with the AT Protocol!

Foregrounding this question is an obviously a good thing—and something probably still largely absent from everyday consumer consciousness. Makes me optimistic that one byproduct of ATProto’s open architecture adoption might be a rise in digital literacy amongst the public at large. A dude can hope 🙏
Had a fun time at the Dublin (Ohio) Irish Festival last weekend. Seeing an Irish wolfhound in person was unreal! It was also nice volunteering for something non-political. Although... Quite a few people were asking about their chances for getting Irish citizenship bc they wanna leave the US 😭 Mood.

BookHive now syncs with your e-reader. Upload your ebooks, browse them from KOReader, Crosspoint, or Readest, via OPDS, and your reading progress syncs back into BookHive.
The AI community is SLEEPING on atproto's potential. With all the "on-tap intelligence" we have these days you'd think they'd be faster to figure that out
HURRAY! A well-written, delightfully illustrated, NON-TECHIE explainer of the Atmosphere. This is *exactly* the kind of explainer that will be easy for me to share with my non-tech friends and work colleagues. THANK YOU, @leaflet.pub!
Leaflet@leaflet.pub · last mo.Bluesky and Leaflet are in the Atmosphere!!! ...wtf does does that mean? Here's a little explainer, written for everyone. No tech experience or prior knowledge required. All you need is 4 minutes or less :D
This is why @atproto.science is so relevant rn This compilation of essays indicates that scientists are most frustrated by insufficient “community tools and resources... Essential infrastructure for sharing, maintaining and building on existing work and data is also badly underdeveloped." >
What Scientists Said: Results from Astera's First Essay Competition
Astera recently hosted its first essay competition, focused around metascience.

Said something interesting to a friend today when they asked about different open social web protocols. It might be a little bit controversial, but: I think that ActivityPub is decentralized in principle, whereas AT Protocol is decentralized in practice. 🧵
Would love for @bsky.app to adopt a feature like this, where people can optionally add a section to their profiles that allows users to see their publications and subscriptions. Also the ability to add a newsletter subscription button in bio - similar to how @standard.site blogs show up in posts.
Standard Reader@standard-reader.app · last mo.We just added a feature that makes it easier than ever to find your friends and their blogs! Head over to Discover, and you'll see a new bit of UI where you can browse all of the publications from the people you follow on Bluesky.

I get the sense that ATProto is going to surpass Activitypub but I'm not entirely sure why. Can anyone articulate why ATProto is preferential to Activitypub?
By the way, in case you couldn't tell from that little Leaflet post, ATProto isn't just Bluesky. There's a whole ecosystem of apps you're probably overlooking. Do yourself a favor and check out atstore.fyi and explore the MANY different things you can use with your Bluesky/Atmosphere account!
