The Atmosphere needs more drawbridges. - Meet folks where they are, don't make them migrate - Augment their environments in useful ways - Make it easy to make them publish to the Atmosphere.

This was made with the new Semble API btw https://github.com/pdelfan/semble-mcp

Today, we are launching the Semble API 🥳 🚀 Here's how to use it 👇️

Well, looks like I've got my work cut out for me

memories of my x220 fan taking off on zoom or if too many tabs open, etc, a more perfect computer has never existed, etc... from this: Un vélo électrique pour l'esprit / an electric bike for the mind by Martin Lafréchoux digital: ebike.nologos.net digital zine: oliverbates.itch.io/ict4s2026zines

This looks good but the "View publication" button stands out more than the blue primary buttons on the app, which throws me off while I'm scrolling the feed. I think a lighter or muted variant could be more subtle

Worked on Soma this week, a fun little experiment for @semble.so. Visualize your cards, see how much you have in common with others, and get a fingerprint of how you collect (volume, velocity, diversity, focus)

Annoucing Semble Connections: A new way to organize, curate and discover content in the open social web 💥

Check out our two AtmosphereConf talks about @semble.so! Main conference - "Rediscovering the Magic of Trails"

if you're using something for free... IT CAN GO AWAY. the operator might be struggling, or not even interested really. and if you're running free infra, add a payment tier! make co-ops, run community infra together. but learn from the past: magical thinking does not make a healthy atmosphere.

Stayed up last night designing the slides, but more particularly this one #atmosphereconf

Another community theme has hit the #AtmosphereConf website 🥳🎉 Check out @semble.so, thanks to @pouriade.com for submitting!

In modern computing, the split isn’t between power users and regular users. Increasingly, you’re either a power user or a disenfranchised user.

Created this collection today for *handpicked*, algorithm-free music. Go ahead and add whatever you’re listening to 💫 Already dropped a bunch from @bandcamp.com, @plyr.fm and youtube

We hit 1000 guestbook sign ins at @z-space.ca today! @hilk.eu hit the button and captured the whole crew who came for member show & tell Thank you to @jonny.z-space.ca who built the tech & made the space & brings the energy to connect us together.

Following is here in Semble! You can now follow other users and collections 👣✨

You can now follow these amazing people (💅) and collections on Semble

Open Collections are here 🌱 A new way to collaboratively curate content in the Atmosphere 🎨  Read on to learn more about how they work 👇

My take on the "explaining atproto" discourse is that all the UX/filesystem/etc metaphors are still very verbose and that you can explain the same idea in a lot less words: It separates data from apps, so any app can use data from any other app. That fits in a tweet, with other sentences around it.

Coming soon - open collections 🌱

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 >

Stoked to launch the first @aetheros.computer app from our docs suite today! PitchDeck is an atproto app that lets you create presentations and share them on the web or in person. It includes a presenter mode with keyboard/swipe support, a synced laser pointer, speaker notes and a built-in timer.

I think we underestimate the power of user interfaces (and thus apps) and how such power is concentrated in the hands of the few who are able to produce such interfaces.

formats over apps

So many awesome references shared in this session, I created with a Semble list to collect them! semble.so/profile/rone... Semble links as "mentions" feels like a fun new pattern to explore (could also be automated to a degree)

log in with your internet handle

3/ The community is already hacking on Semble to add various extensions and integrations! 🛠️ So much activity that we created a Semble collection to track all these projects. Plus, we just merged our first community PR! Thanks @vielle.dev! 🙌 semble.so/profile/cosm...

we're too quick to mistake `what i know how to easily model' for `what is' and even `what should be'.

Are you only focused on yourself, or do you want your neighbours to succeed?

How do we cultivate meaning as information sprouts endlessly all around us? Excited to share our first step. If you've got thoughts, ideas, or want to contribute, let us know; we're building this for you!

1/ 📢 @cosmik.network has been awarded $1M in grant funding by Open Philanthropy and @asterainstitute.bsky.social These generous grants will support our development of Semble - a social "micro-knowledge" network for researchers on Bluesky/ATProto. Think Are.na + Goodreads for research!

I've never been homeless but now that I work for a church I spend a lot more time interacting with the homeless & honestly it has changed my life. this country will never redeem its collective soul until we fix our hearts about how we treat the poor, the addicted, the mentally ill

Designers think by making. This is why prolific ideation is so important. You can delegate some to AI but there are muscles that will atrophy. That is the intersection of systems thinking, interaction, framing and behavioral hypothesis in the journey of crafting. These muscles gives you ingenuity.
