@bnewbold.net , @pfrazee.com, @alex.bsky.team check out this proposal for oEmbed support in other ATProto lexicons! It builds on lexicon publishers for web embeddings. Thoughts? Should I post this somewhere? #atproto

I've been thinking about how oEmbed could work for ATProto records. Currently, you can embed a Bluesky post on any website by passing the post's bsky.app. URL to the oEmbed service. It would be nice if you could also embed records from other ATProto lexicons. Here's a possible solution... (1/8)

I bought my ticket to #ATmosphereConf - join me in Vancouver March 2026 atmosphereconf.org

Would anyone be interested in an ATProto embeddings API service? I calculate it would cost maybe $3/day to produce embeddings for every post using OpenAI's text-embedding-3-small. But this cost could be shared, so an "embeddings firehouse" could cost each customer just pennies a day.

Another takeaway from @eurosky.social live conference in Berlin: @rose.bsky.team says Bluesky does not hate advertising.

@sherifea.com and @seabass.bsky.social just demoed EuroSky’s moderation infrastructure. But I'm wondering: how much of this work must be replicated? Bluesky must comply with the DSA for EU users, and they already run a labeler for the posts distributed through the Bluesky app... #euroskylive

@eurosky.social conference in Berlin just finished. One of the main themes seemed to be European independence from US big tech companies. Including from Bluesky. #euroskylive

Looking forward to attending @eurosky.social on Nov 19th in Berlin. Anyone that wants to meet to talk about Community Notes for Bluesky and @bluenotes.social let me know.

@cnviolations.bsky.social Thought you might like to know, I've implemented the Community Notes feature in a fork of the main Bluesky app. The Phase 1 beta is live at bluenotes.social.

I've built Bluenotes, a fork of the Bluesky app with Community Notes. Phase 1 beta is live. bluenotes.social Looking for thoughtful early testers. The algorithm needs data from diverse perspectives before it can identify helpful notes, so we're building that foundation first.

Interesting writeup, i think one idea that is sort of similar to the UUID approach would be just using Tags to create ad hoc community spaces without central authority. Posting a record with #Seattle (ideally not inline with the text) creates a sort of community space in the indexing of the tags

I just created this starter kit for creating and deploying a Atproto labeler using the @skyware.js.org labeler and fly.io: github.com/johnwarden/a...
