Our July update is out! Semble MCP and Subscriptions shipped, Zotero libraries start roaming on Semble, and lots of exciting community contributions (we love being able to say this every month and really mean it 😇)

Cosmik Updates: July 2026

Cosmik at DWeb Camp Berlin, Semble MCP and Subscriptions shipped, Zotero libraries start roaming on Semble, and a new blog series on the sensemaking patterns we're seeing on Semble. Plus an interactive map of the Sembleverse by @davidgasquez.com, and lots more community contributions

New post on the @cosmik.network blog: who ever heard of bookmarks that can help *shorten* your reading list? On how bookmarks, combined with social curation networks like @semble.so, can be much more than bookmarks - they can be sensors! blog.cosmik.network/sensors-not-...

Sensors, not just bookmarks [Patterns of Sensemaking #1]

First of a new series on sensemaking patterns we're observing on Semble

@kissane.myatproto.social is a great inspiration for our work and we're very happy we can support her Cloud Atlas initiative to make the value of the Atmosphere more legible for the broader public! ✨

Atmosphere Community@atmosphere.community · last wk.

We are joined by Bluesky @bsky.app as a Presenting Supporter and Cosmik Network @cosmik.network as a Major Supporter Both individuals and organizations can support Erin’s work on open collective opencollective.com/atprotocolde...

Products like @margin.at and @semble.so have the potential to change scientific publishing as we know it today. These are early-stage products but they're clearly ahead of the curve when it comes to new ways to organize and share knowledge.

“Hey Semble, what’s the newest and coolest atproto app?” AKA Semble MCP is here 🤖

More sense-making tech, not sense-dulling tech

Friends! I'm bad at advertising but better late than never! I'm co-organizing a workshop at #CSCW2026 exploring the future of infrastructure, in conversation with its deep roots in CSCW scholarship. Please join us! cscw2026-infrastructure-workshop.github.io My short pitch below 👇

Thanks for the nice write-up @sensemaker.computer - we're on the same wavelength ;)

Semble's June update is a useful ATProto signal: saved links are starting to act less like private bookmarks and more like shared working memory.

Our June update is out!

ATMentions: a web component that pulls how the ATmosphere reacted to any page. Bluesky, @margin.at , @semble.so , @frontpage.fyi , standard.site compatible. Easy to setup: one tag you drop on a page; it surfaces how the ATmosphere reacted to the page — likes, reposts, Margin notes, Semble saves...

"The truly visionary AI for Science company is not automating experiments or AI-generating Nature papers, but building technology to improve the collective sensemaking ability of scientists @cosmik.network and alphaXiv are both examples of startups trying to build new sensemaking infrastructure"

Science as Collective Sensemaking

What is Science?

Just came across @semble.so and am very excited! It’s like a way of having personal knowledge bases (think Notion/Obsidian) that are connected into a broader social network. So curative action - classification, collation - can shift from individual to a collective/social sense-making.

the community knowledge garden has long tables, not tall fences ;) come plant some seeds, harvest some produce, till the soil, or simply sit back and watch the bees pollinate. Our collective attention is an ecological system, let's tend to it that way 🐝🌼🌱🍄🍃

We’re excited to post this update from our new @leaflet.pub - the Cosmik blog has officially moved to the Atmosphere! 🎉 Also - so many great community contributions last month 💙

Cosmik Updates: May 2026

We migrated the blog to Leaflet; The Semble community is cookin'!

“Unprompted, agents don’t know what to do,” she says. “If we just let them converse, we don’t get anything useful. Humans are still essential, because we set the direction.”

New grant awarded to the Nanopublications project to build a federated graph of scientific claims with #Fediverse integrations! Great to see similar patterns playing out across open social protocols - bridging informal discourse on social media with more formal science publishing methods #ATScience

I created 33,547 non-bsky records this year across 73 lexicons. Here are my top NSIDs: 1. "fm.teal.*" (28,674) 2. "network.cosmik.*" (1,480) 3. "net.anisota.*" (1,130) 4. "so.sprk.*" (542) 5. "social.popfeed.*" (341) See your summary here: anisota.net/harvest #OopsAllTeal #TealFmIsntReal

I've been gesturing towards the idea that: 1. Groups can be smarter than individuals 2. Proven in other fields and species 3. Social protocols + sensemaking make it buildable I'm trying to gather papers, books, etc that lend precedent or otherwise support the idea Open contributions via @semble.so

Collective Intelligence Research (by Rudolph Fraser.) — Semble

Explorations into the idea that a group of humans is "more intelligent" than the sum of their "IQ" (i.e. "groups of individuals doing things collectively that seem intelligent")

"we now must reimagine our existing institutions and create new collaborative structures...Our information and media ecosystems must shift from attention-fracking to collective sensemaking. We need media architectures that support deep understanding and dialogue rather than polarized echo chambers."

Sublime essay by Otto Scharmer - a "drop everything and read" moment for me “More than $2.5T is projected to flow into AI in 2026 alone, yet the human side ... — the cultivation of sensing, relating and sensemaking — receives almost none of it. This is soil depletion at a civilizational scale.”

I'm going to be exploring integration as a theory-of-change with @semble.so! Augmenting existing knowledge tools like Zotero, Obsidian, etc. with the collective sense-making happening on Semble. If this is something you would find helpful I would love to hear more about what you're looking for 😄
