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...

part of our goal with @cosmik.network is to make visible the "micro-contributions" of knowledge work / research to the information commons. Imagine if in @semble.so you could see who curated the search results? Here's one idea to make attribution part of the core experience (vs Google)

Every lexicon, every "app" on ATProto is a "yes and" waiting for your contribution to the vision. We're all first party developers.

1/ Finally wrote up “The Story of Mendeley”! Most people know the tool, few know about its rise and fall. The Mendeley story provides important clues for how to build self-sustaining AND non-extractive knowledge commons, which is why I think it deserves more attention 🧵

bsky thread -> semble collection would be a neat tool!

Added a "shared links" page to my personal site: v4.jasik.xyz/links

Still lots more distance to go for more resilient community and governance patterns, but I'm super excited to experiment with community curation!

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

If you’re enjoying @margin.at, a bookmarking / highlighting / annotation app with support for @semble.so, donate to @scanash.com

This reminds me of note-taking setups where people used both Obsidian and Logseq on the same set of files. Interop and the "file over app" philosophy is incredible

Anyone wanna help with this? Community-curated Semble collection as the content-layer for a website?

Will AI save us time? Some thoughts:

This was very fun to think through and implement! We can interoperate in useful ways without sharing lexicons, here's the proof ;)

today was our 2nd day of vibe coding exploration @cosmik.network - some takeaways: notes.wesleyfinck.org/3mdon42do6k2y

sprouting soon in a garden near you!

have been toying with terms like "foraging" in an "interconnected information environment", which definitely tracks with my own experience thus far. Will assemble these ideas into a leaflet sometime soon!

yessss!!! Am working on Margin data in Semble interop today :) also want to make sure it backfills historical data

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 >

ATProto devs did you know you can use selfhosted.social for users to create brand new accounts on the atmosphere in your applications? Both deckbelcher.com and blento.app uses our PDS. A user's journey into the atmosphere does not always have to be started from Bluesky. It can start from your app.

@semble.so search 🫶🫶

Some thoughts about what it's been like building and shipping @semble.so notes.wesleyfinck.org/3md75xpwml222

@leaflet.pub backlinks on the @semble.so page are 🔥 Am putting together an "AI Agents in the ATmosphere" collection and immediately found some useful pubs to add! Will be shipping this soon once we improve the performance a bit.

Corporate vs community search engine @semble.so

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

Semble Search is dropping soon 👀 🔎

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

atproto is so funny. Leading protocol explorer in the previous ecosystem I worked in: Etherscan, a 70-person company with ~$35,000,000 in yearly revenue Leading protocol explorer in the ecosystem I work in now: @pdsls.dev by @juli.ee, it's great

This was a lot of fun! shameless plug but @semble.so was an incredible writing companion, both for going through my own collections and also searching through all the great links ppl have saved there

at @cosmik.network we've decided to make every other Friday a day of exploration and experimentation with AI-tooling. Yesterday was the first one! some reflections of how it went and where it could go next: notes.wesleyfinck.org/3mcm52z6tls2m

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