HTTP gave us hypertext, atproto gives us "social hypertext"

For every Atmosphere project or initiative, I offer copywriting services. Comms are hard, especially for our movement which is quite technical in nature sometimes. As a designer, my trade is communication. The right words inspire people and share the hope we all have for the internet.

Tynan is an incredible communicator and I couldn't recommend him more

great write up by @zzstoatzz.io about his epic semble tinkering! thx to @joelchan86.bsky.social for surfacing it on Semble :) tiny suggestion: Semble isn't the "substrate for the last knowledge graph", atproto is.

I don't think atproto devs should feel any pressure to do standardization work. Build things you love, that other ppl love. That's what matters. If it's on atproto, it's already a huge win. The protocol stuff will work itself out over time with enough demand/adoption (IMO 😊).

Here's how I'm currently thinking about standardizing bookmarks in the atmosphere, curious how this lands with others! notes.wesleyfinck.org/3mnsflyyvi225

Collaboration is at the core of Semble, so we've made it easier to find all the open collections you've contributed to in the sidebar or on the network tab of your profile.

this is so awesome! nice to see emerging patterns for how to contextualize links with social data from across the atmosphere. The standard site references with the paragraph snippet is 👌

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 💙

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 🐝🌼🌱🍄🍃

🎯

Being in the atproto community, I sometimes forget how enshittified some social apps have become. In the open social web, people will pay for valuable services, *not* to export their data.

some thoughts on atproto as a post-app paradigm

Welcome to the atproto fam 🫶 🫂

atproto devs, I'm looking for suggestions about syncing users repos with our appview / redundancies around firehose/jetstream connections to avoid missing events, thx!

Just added a link to @openmedia.org’s send an email to your MP opposing C-22 to the collection. Thanks @wesleyfinck.org for prodding me to track this down action.openmedia.org/page/188754/...

we are getting unbelievably close to this

Okay, I’m tired of waiting. I have a LOT of design work to do, and some content cleanup as well, and there might be a few bugs, but I present to you: standardrecs.site (okay I also need OG images).

It's crazy how much wisdom and knowledge can be packed into a book. It's almost crazier to think we can "absorb" it all by quickly reading one, esp considering how long they take to write + the lifetime of learning required to write one. Flashcards help! notes.wesleyfinck.org/3mljuu3o43k2...

🧪 Just came across this story that was just published today. It resonates with lots of points @ronentk.me and @row1.ca have been pushing for a revolution toward modular science.

a fun part about my minimum queue writing system is that whenever I drop a new article, you know there's something else already cooked up and ready to go. what could it be 👀 notes.wesleyfinck.org/3m4vgge67vs2d

Been meaning to put together a write up about my experience with flashcards. Here it is: notes.wesleyfinck.org/3mljuu3o43k2k I ❤️ FLASHCARDS, I repeat, I ❤️ FLASHCARDS (and you might too)

Its an open invitation to all to add to the Semble collection for Hugelkultur Garden Bed info. Food security, permaculture, small-scale farming, etc. No matter what, these raised garden beds are quick to make and easy to construct. semble.so/profile/shir...

come learn about @semble.so and other awesome projects!

*Shameless plug warning* Chatted with someone who was quite interested in @atproto.science and the future of scientific publishing. Had lots of links to send them and boy was it ever satisfying to be able to share a universe of interconnected content with just a few links to @semble.so collections!

I've been dreaming about something like this for years. Surreal to finally bring it to life! We're super excited to see where this goes and all the fun #tft integrations that can be built on top of it 🏗️

hey @macwright.com lovely write up about atmosphere conf! macwright.com/2026/04/05/i... just a little note about @cosmik.network, we are currently building @semble.so and hyperfeeds was sunset over a year ago. We have a much stronger focus on curation than feed creation now.

#AtmosphereConf was absolutely epic but we really needed to get outdoors touch granite today 🏔️ Sembling in the wild @ronentk.me @pouriade.com @wesleyfinck.org

I got started with this open collection about conference resources semble.so/profile/wesl...

Let's organize and curate #ATmosphereConf resources together 🫶

There is something paradoxical about social networks and the attention economy. Attention addicted sociopaths like Andreeseen obviously gain from the public outrage that follows after their idiotic comments about introspection. They get exactly what they want: attention.

curious what other folks think of this? "semble stack" vs "semble collection"?

just got my yearly pro subscription!!!

@captaincalliope.blue totally gets it. I anticipate this will be a much more common occurrence in the atmosphere!

We're testing a *Pro* plan for publishers ✨🌱 One big feature to start — analytics (views, referrers, subscribers) — and adding more soon. Also just a great way to support Leaflet! $12/m or $120/y We'd like to test the signup flow with a few early adopters. If you're interested please reach out!

we've been laying the groundwork for something big, can't wait to share more soon!

a fun @dwebyvr.org field trip!

can confirm

part of our theory of change for enabling new forms of collective intelligence at @cosmik.network: creating positive feedback loops to elicit the "beneath the iceberg" sense-making signals, like what articles you've been reading/enjoying

A deep dive into how I was journaling on my most recent trip to China and what led me to such a practice ✍️✨ notes.wesleyfinck.org/3mgau375va22c

search + card type filters is a hidden gem in @semble.so recommend trying it out!

great hike!

ALSO you can follow @margin.at collection from @semble.so, which is pretty cool! Like @seth.computer's "Shared Reads" collection semble.so/profile/seth...

There are already SO MANY amazing collections to follow in semble! I'm already following 32 🙈

time to BUILD 🚧

very exciting!! this aligns so well with our next semble feature currently called "Connections": directly connect any 2 URLs and see those connections (in either direction) on the semble page

so much exciting terrain to explore in the open social web! our first iteration of bringing the social graph into the picture

"Why did you decide to bet on atproto over Mastodon or similar?" - protocol design - scale & success of bsky - ppl: talent + motivations (atproto talent is crazy and very pro-social, a rare combo in tech)

created a new open collection, would love some contributions! semble.so/profile/wesl...
