New AI science tool by Open AI openai.com/index/introd... - great motivation for why we need movements for open, community stewarded infra like @continuous.foundation @atproto.science @cairos.network rather than extractive data grabs by big platforms

Semble search is now live, adding a powerful discovery layer to Semble! Check it out at semble.so/search Here’s what makes it different >

Knowledge is a'ssembling 🌱 @semble.so

Interop in action! 🤝

Books, videos, research, code, and more. Whatever you’re in the mood for - you can now filter by media type! Try it out: semble.so/explore

The projects list at atproto.science/projects/ is now using a @semble.so collection as data source 😎 So the page will update automatically when we add new projects to the collection, no need to edit any website html! semble.so/profile/atpr...

Yes! It will be so cool when people's "now reading" pages are on protocol (like www.ribbonfarm.com/now-reading/)

Wondering what Semble is all about and how to use it? Check out our video guides on our docs page to learn more! docs.cosmik.network/semble

We’re excited to announce that @aaronstevenwhite.io will join us in Vancouver at #ATScience to present @chive.pub - a new project for decentralized preprints with ATProto 🚀 Check out the launch thread for more details:

"one book can significantly change the reader's attitude and action to an extent unmatched by the impact of any other medium" - still true! This is why sharing what we're all reading on open protocols is such a powerful part of collective sensemaking 💙

New tagline for Semble? 😁 "make your bookmarks atproto’s problem"

New feature cookin’ 🧑‍🍳 Aggregating Bluesky mentions on the Semble page for any URL!

2025 was a big year for us: @semble.so went from concept to working product, with 150 users in 2 months, a public API, and the wonderful atproto community already helping us build into the Atmosphere. We also co-launched @atproto.science and @cairos.network. Here's our year in review and what's next

give me a feed of podcasts my friends are listening to? ✅

Media types coming to @semble.so soon 👀

We already have several speakers and volunteers in need of travel support to attend #ATScience - if you’re able to pitch in with event sponsorship, please be in touch with us here or [email protected]! Tons of great energy swirling around ATScience, let’s make it the best possible for everyone!

Excited to announce another confirmed speaker for #ATScience! @hyl.st from @sealight.xyz will present “Making wisdom together“ on seams.so, a social annotation tool on ATproto💡

Exciting new @atproto.science project just dropped 🔥

Chive is a decentralized eprint service built on AT Protocol. Here's what it does and a bit on its design.

@semble.so just got its own internet handle!

Do you like bookmarking things and losing them in the Bookmarks hole? Or not knowing what your Bluesky peeps are bookmarking No? Then try semble.so (built on ATProtocol) and use social bookmarking to learn from the academic hivemind.

More folks should be checking out semble.so, it's quite fun

Woke up, opened semble.so, scrolled for 10 seconds, found two new interesting things to read 😇

The main #ATmosphereConf call for proposals is closing TOMORROW forms.atprotocol.community/r/wAVDkk @atproto.science is also doing a call for speakers for their conference side event, and you have a little more time to submit for that one.

Read more about #ATScience plans in our post from before the break. Buying your #ATmosphereConf ticket includes all side events. Thanks to @cosmik.network for sponsoring to help make this happen

Interesting thread by @altmetric.com comparing research mentions on Bluesky vs Twitter Respect to the science community on Bluesky! 💪🧪 And we’re just getting started with the broader @atproto.science ecosystem - will be cool to check back on these data at the end of 2026 🚀

Excited to announce that @sjgreenwood.bsky.social will be at #ATScience presenting their work on the beloved @paper-feed.bsky.social , experiments on self-hosted feeds (in collaboration with @graze.social @aendra.com) and observational analyses of social media on #atproto! Looking forward to it! 🎉

Reading this forum post on open protocols and music publishing. Thank you @hilk.eu for sembling it.

Meeting people on semble.so is great - feels like it provides a special glimpse into their headspace. @erlend.sh and I met 1:1 for the first time today and I feel I came in with way more shared context because we have already been sharing our reading lists on Semble >

Rad vision for future of @atproto.science just dropped #ATScience

"interesting technical conversations simply didn't happen that could have" great one sentence summary of the vast unharnessed potential of science social media :)

okay so this wasn't initially meant to be a serious post, but after trying @cosmik.network's semble.so, i'm sold. shared knowledge is very important, and tools like this would have been pivotal to my early education in subjects of computer science.

Thanks @mariaa.bsky.social for starting this great thread! Calling all researchers to add their ideas! 📢

If you’re looking for reading recommendations for the winter break - lots of gems here! Thanks to all the contributors and happy holidays ☃️ semble.so/explore/gems...

I went ahead and created a pol.is conversation about this, pls contribute! pol.is/7bdiwbvh2d You can contribute by voting on statements and/or adding your own statements. First time using it, hope it helps surface useful insight!

Congrats to the @atproto.science crew for launching! Thanks to @cosmik.network for being a major sponsor ot #ATmosphereConf, and the whole team for putting on a side event. You can select to attend the #ATScience event as part of your main conf ticket purchase.

New ecosystem coming online 🌱

Announcing atproto.science! #ATproto has huge potential for supporting new ways of doing research, so we started @atproto.science to help bring together researchers, build community, and explore what's possible when science meets cutting-edge open social network protocols! 🧪 >

We've made some updates to our Semble PDS Client which should make it even easier to work with Semble data directly on your PDS. Check out our docs 📃 docs.cosmik.network/semble/devel...

we just launched the oakland collaborative syllabus! a living, evolving guide to the media of this place also experimenting with a version on protocol (thanks @ronentk.me) and would love to collaborate with other folks interested in participatory local archiving tools semble.so/profile/oakl...

Great to see new picks and collections - keep the gems coming! 💎

I read some great books and essays in 2025. Here are some of my highlights. I love that Semble makes it so easy to share these reading lists! @cosmik.network semble.so/profile/rang...

Might’ve gone a little overboard with my 💎 picks of 2025 on Semble, but here’s at least 35 really good ones: semble.so/profile/erle...

Adding @ranganaut.bsky.social 's excellent piece on Hyperproblems to our "Picks of 2025 💎" Semble list! "Hyperproblems are scientific challenges whose scale, complexity, ... and interdependence overwhelm traditional research, requiring new forms of collective intelligence." semble.so/url?id=https...

Idea for Semble x Leaflet: - make a Semble collection of your favorite things from this year - make a Leaflet post (doc or canvas) and add those links + some extra commentary or reflection! Hopefully soon we can even make it possible to link to Semble collections & cards directly :)

‘Tis the season for sharing your best finds 🤓📚☕❄️ Make a “💎 Top picks of 2025” list on Semble.so  with books, articles, videos, tools, or anything worth passing on! We’ll feature your picks in a special end-of-year “💎 Gems of 2025” feed on Semble Or also share your list here in the replies! 🎁 >
