@sri.xyz making community relays work better every day. set this for your PDS: ``` PDS_CRAWLERS=https://bsky.network,https://vsky.network ``` and any `requestCrawl` your PDS sends will get broadcast to every community relay on the [list](tangled.org/firehose.clu...)!

Tiny service for @firehose.club relay operators, running on @val.town

kicking off a firehose.club community relay list, thanks to @sri.xyz ! open a PR to add yours!

Notes on our recent Brooklyn meetup — and the next one (June 1; RSVP & reach out w/ talk ideas!) — and a bunch more things we're excited to explore like a website, community outreach, other events… New blog + newsletter enabled, drop your email (or just sub w/ atmosphere acct) for updates!

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.

your @rpg.actor now on your @blento.app 👀

ooh nice my talk got posted! this is a 30 min whirlwind introduction to atproto through a technical lens, basically building up the stack from DIDs -> repos -> PDSes -> relays -> lexicons -> OAuth -> applications

🔴 LIVE https://stream.place/atproto.nyc atproto.nyc May 2026!

Starting very soon, see you there! With luck we'll even be livestreaming :)

if you’re coming to @atproto.nyc meetup on monday make sure to build a @rpg.actor sprite ahead of time for a special gift 🪩

Speaker lineup for this coming event: @rishkebab.blacksky.team on acorn.blacksky.community @jakelazaroff.com on ATProtoCall @teonbrooks.com on passports.social @ronentk.me on Semble/ATScience @julietshen.bsky.social on trust & safety @adampype.bsky.social on social sites for friends

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/

Lining up talks for @atproto.nyc (a week from mon! follow that acct!) & one goal = get more diverse I'd love for this to be about the atmosphere broadly, not just the technical side, & find folks to speak (or attend!) using atproto for local communities etc Plz share & reach out if you have ideas!

hmm

NYC friends — join us in Brooklyn for our next meetup the evening of Monday, May 4! We'll have pizza, do a few short talks, and hang and get atmospheric 🌀 Send us your talk ideas and reach out if you'd like to help organize this & future events. See you there! 🙌✨

Bluesky is looking for a design research contractor big plus if you know Bluesky well who's the best design researcher you know? nominate them (or yourself)

Leaning into what I heard @atmosphereconf.org: You can do multiple releases. Originally part of my @recurse.com project (W1'24 woot!) to learn @svelte.dev, build my first product from scratch, and share my scrapbook. The passport concept resonated the most. It's pre-alpha: be gentle, check it out!

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.

That was probably the most widely reported outage in recent times. @reports.blu.ski

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! ✌️

the firehose if everyone was just DMing you

Reposting since we are talking about it again… sri.leaflet.pub/3maltcnnbqs2n

did it. direct-from-object-storage backup restore for rocksdb. this should make it *much* less painful (and way faster) to launch a new constellation instance from the public backups.

Pleased to announce that an Authenticated Transfer Protocol (ATP) working group has been created at the IETF! Grateful to everybody who participated in the BoF and chartering process. Details on next steps and how to get involved inside. atproto.com/blog/kicking...

🌊 🌊 🌊 Today, we’re launching social websites, a new kind of online destination. These blend posts from Bluesky, Threads, Mastodon and more, plus YouTube, podcasts and your favorite publications to create community sites based around the things that matter to you. about.surf.social/surf-launche...

Q1 update: can confirm. got worse. 🫠 @goals.garden @firehose.network @firehose.stream and the big one: @atproto.at v2

Hey y'all! One of the things I took from #AtmosphereConf was that there's still a hole to fill to make it easier for users to back up their identities and that something like a mobile app may do that. So if you're interested, please take a bit of time to answer the questions to help shape that app.

On March 29th, we held an in-person meeting to check in with the community and discuss potential updates to the standard.site spec. A huge thank you to @cozylittle.house for putting together a detailed summary of everything we discussed. leaflet.pub/p/did:plc:ky...

that was awesome! huge thank you to everyone organizing #atmosphereconf

Sri is at #AtmosphereConf and launching Taproot - a super-powered all-in-one AT Protocol Explorer. Browse PDSes, export repos and download blobs, stream live data, and so much more. Learn more here: sri.xyz/projects/tap...

next #atmosphereconf (or even this), I need an option to get this as part of remote ticket.

Created a feed about @attie.ai on attie bsky.app/profile/sri....

Hey guys, I think this @pfrazee.com guy gets it! No, seriously, made my day 🙇🏻‍♂️ Say it louder for the people in the back: People, not platforms!

1/ Today, we’re excited to introduce Attie, currently as an invite-only closed beta. Attie is the first agentic social app on atproto. It’s something completely new—an experiment in making building on the protocol more accessible.

Paul mentioned Taproot, which @sri.xyz just launched at the conference with an all new set of tools for working with atproto, in his keynote. Check out everything here

slides for my talk (now-ish) if you want to follow the small-text (or get spoilers)

All new Taproot is live sri.xyz/projects/tap... All-in-one atproto explorer @atproto.at #AtmosphereConf
