new data diary! this is the most in the weeds yet, all revolving around our proposed URI structure for permissioned data. turns out you can figure out a lot about a protocol from the uri! as always, let me know what you think :)

big news

hey chicago! a few of us are organizing a local atproto meetup and we'd love your help making it happen. we're in the early stages, looking for venues and sponsors to get things off the ground.

if you had a "beta features" toggle in your settings that let you see experimental and pre-release features in the app so you could share feedback with the bsky team, would you turn it on?

thank you to The Last Picture House in my hometown, a theater created by the guys who wrote A Quiet Place, for finally putting the "let's fucking go Quad Cities" video that plays before every movie online. this is civic pride to me

Introducing Disperse: an experimental sharesheet that allows you to share to several Atmosphere services at once. At launch, it supports @bsky.app, @blackskyweb.xyz, @semble.so, @margin.at, @rabbithole.land, @kipclip.com, and @sill.social, with more planned. 1/

works!

why breed dogs with jaws large enough to tear through Flesh, when you could breed dogs with minds large enougj to tear through Fallacy.....

AI now writes 127% of my code. Here's what I learned.

3 years on Bluesky 😊

ok yall, we hear you. the carousel isn't popular! we're putting it back in the oven and will plan to bring it back for posts with more than 4 photos or videos when we add support for that. appreciate the feedback. we really want you to love this app.

The video playback issue should be resolved. Some new CDN configuration was causing a CORS error when resolving subtitles, which was then failing hard in the client. CORS issue was fixed and we'll look into a more graceful degradation for the app 🫡

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars. We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director. Please stand by for more.

Had some leftover bechamel and pepperoni from last night so: garbage pizza with random wilted veggies from the fridge

Happy Friday everyone🍦

I think I’ve made it, gruber posted a steak on grain grain.social/profile/did:...

Felix, CEO of Mastodon, and I hope to collaborate more. Mastodon has wide adoption in Europe and 8k communities (servers) running independently. The customization they give communities is inspiring to me. Public squares should be a gathering place for you to discover cozier corners/communities.

Systems currently operational. The team is continuing to improve reliability. status.bsky.app

Resolved: We are investigating an incident with service in one of our reginos status.bsky.app

Our team received a report of intermittent app outages at about 11:40pm PDT on April 15, 2026. They worked through the night to mitigate a sophisticated Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, which intensified throughout the day.

new ozone release just went out github.com/bluesky-soci... if you're running a labeller using ozone, please upgrade. thanks @thisismissem.social for the tip on react's security fix.

Huge React Aria release! 🏝️ Expandable table rows 📉 90% fewer dependencies 🔥 Sub-path imports – improved tree shaking, faster builds, and easier discoverability 🪟 Virtualizer window scrolling ➡️ GridList horizontal orientation 💾 NumberField and RangeCalendar commit behavior

Attention PDS devs! We merged a lexicon change last week increasing the max image upload for Bluesky posts from 1 MB to 2 MB. This rolled out to our PDSs instances last Friday. We'll begin enabling this in the Bluesky app soon. If your PDS implementation is still validating at 1 MB, plz update! ✌️

This is the logo you all have to use btw

Come hangout with me at the International Journalism Festival! I’m going to be on a panel w Felix, the CEO of Mastodon, Thursday at 3pm. I’m also hosting drinks Thursday evening at 7pm at Priori Secret Garden. Looking to chat w journalists about distribution, monetization, and audience ownership

what's good, tanglers?! we've shipped a few neat features recently. some of you may have already noticed 👀 but here they are! 🔍 search!!! 🔎 it's true—tangled now has repository search! head to tangled.org/search (or click the icon from the top nav) to find your fav slopware.

Holy shit I opened up IMDB and it automatically created an account for me because I'm logged into Amazon in this browser?? I got a welcome email and everything. Blocking that email and deleting the IMDB account just out of pure spite, absolutely disgusting practice

Bluesky is experiencing an issue with email delivery. We're working to resolve it

coming soon: a refreshed look for our embeds, with support for videos in most browsers! thanks @thepope.dev and @darrin.bsky.team!

made a thing i've always wanted for nodejs: easy-to-use worker threads w/ shared memory. all respect to piscina but the dx never landed for me. also first experience using @tangled.org for oss work and it rules. ci was very easy to set up with spindles and runs faaast.

I also picked up some China China (never had, dig it) and a new Calvados. Both are lovely, especially the Calvados. It has the minerality of a nice fruity mezcal, but of course no smoke and a hint of apple. If anyone has cocktail suggestions I'm all ears!

Now That’s What I Call An IPA Vol. 1

It's an account for Atmosphere apps. It's not a "handle" for the whole "internet". It's not a "Bluesky" account, a lot of us don't host our account there, and hopefully less will over time. Atmosphere came from the community, we build as a community. Don't overcomplicate it. Atmosphere Account.

latest sidequest

I think @grain.social has the juice. It’s so refreshing to have a timeline that allows you to see new posts, and when you’re done, you can just go about your day. No engagement algorithm, just awesome photos in a clean app. 👏👏

considering they've had a decade+ to do this, it's hard not to think this might be a reaction to @npmx.dev 🚀

Related to this, we've been slowly rolling out a higher resolution limit for our image uploads, from 2000px^2 to 4000px^2. Until the below image size increase rolls out (soon), image sizes are still capped at 1 MB, so FYI you won't see immediate quality increase in all cases just yet.

devs working with bsky image embeds: we are planning to bump the image embed blob max size from 1 MByte to 2 MByte. first in the lexicon schema, and then in the Bluesky Social app. more about impacts, and what this means in terms of lexicon evolution, in this github discussion

Anyone seeing images getting squished if they _paste_ them into the post composer here in Bluesky? Like this one 🤔

this would have taken a master Renaissance painter a year

this captures it perfectly pleasure to meet and talk with @laurenshof.online in person

The Official Announcement ™️ i'm super stoked about this. big thanks to everyone involved! if you want a say in the long term design of atproto, this is the place! hop in the mailing list and start participating. we'll be sending some messages in there soon

i bet 'alltrails' is the next thing to be rebuilt on atproto if it hasn't already

stranded in downtown Minneapolis for a night! seeking food and drink recs if you have ‘em

imo if atproto can make a compelling alternative to youtube it would be way bigger than bluesky, @stream.place's vod jam feels like the start of something that could be huge, which is why i am so excited about it

My talk from Atmosphere wasn't available, so I used the Power of the Atmosphere to build a place you can see it: ionosphere.tv/talks/rj8Xv62 You can also leave comments/reactions if you like, and the rest of the talks are (mostly) also there. Explore!

Today we're also introducing surf.social to let anyone surf the whole social web including over 130K feeds that bring together people, podcasts, YouTube channels, newsletters, blogs and images for whatever you're into.
