We had the very first research lexicons call today, to discuss interop & standards for research applications! 🎉 (think @standard.site but for science 🧪) With @mariaa.bsky.social @wesleyfinck.org @aaronstevenwhite.io @byarielm.fyi @ronentk.me Reach out if you want to be part of these discussions!

We had a great chat with @paperstarsorg.bsky.social yesterday, exploring new kinds of social media based review tools and more collaborative research ecosystems! #ATScience

List of interesting ATProto projects with legs: - @margin.at - @anisota.net - @semble.so ATProto is a marvelous way of managing global scale intelligence. Margin/semble are great for that. Anistota is pretty + nice to use.

The articles that people are bookmarking on @semble.so are high quality. It's quickly becoming my go to place to consume dev content

1/ Excited to share that @exgenesis.ingroup.social and I are joining the upcoming "Big if True Science" (BiTS) program! BiTS is an accelerator at Renaissance Philanthropy for scientists & technologists to design ambitious R&D programs. Our “Big if True” hypothesis is >

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

"the crucial step in crisis engineering is to re-establish a common view which corresponds to reality – to restore sense-making. Once that step has been taken, actually solving the problem becomes a tractable task, and without it nothing is going to work" -- @dsquareddigest.bsky.social

February updates for @cosmik.network & @semble.so ! Including @central.comind.network @funferall.bsky.social @uppy-hacker.bsky.social @tgoerke.bsky.social @o.simardcasanova.net @hacdias.com @bmann.ca @caleb.jasik.xyz @atproto.science

@semble.so is so cool idk how they have less than 300 followers

The agenda for #ATScience is up! Check out the speaker list and full schedule below 👇 The range and quality of proposals we received really exceeded our expectations - thanks to everyone who submitted something! March 27, Vancouver - can't wait to see you there ✨ Sessions include >

📣 We’re building a new kind of infrastructure for scientific work, where ideas don't get lost, experiments get claimed and completed, and new researchers can hit the ground running. For 40 months, the @matsulab.com has piloted this approach. It's working! #AcademiaSky 🔗 experiment.com/u/Hd2AYg

What if *researchers* could reserve the rights to their research, not the journals? Maybe with the help of @atproto.science ?

Following just dropped in Semble 🫳🎤  You can follow other users *and* collections 🥂

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 🧵

I decided to start an open @semble.so collection to curate more examples/inspiration for "extreme citizen science": semble.so/profile/joel... cc @ronentk.me

really putting the *collective* in collective intelligence

👀 jekelylab.github.io/COS_goes_FOS...

It was nice to work with the @cosmik.network team! You can see your Semble cards and collections on Margin, and even use the Margin extension to bookmark and collect to Semble! Try it out: margin.at

@margin.at interop just dropped in Semble 🤝 Your Margin bookmarks now show up directly on Semble ✅ The Atmosphere has no walled gardens 🌻 Happy cross-pollination 🐝 More details on how it works below 👇

One of our New Year’s resolutions was to start sharing monthly updates, so here’s one for January!

We’re very excited to have @smcgrath.phd present “Reigniting the Party: Lessons from a Stalled Migration to Bluesky” at #ATScience! The talk will detail an effort to migrate the @amia.org community to Bluesky. Scott will share lessons learned and outline revised strategies to rebuild the network! 🧪

“In a physical world of .. printed journals, bundling made sense. In a digital world, we are increasingly constrained by boundaries that no longer make sense. In a world of AI, what does the bundle prevent us from seeing?” 🎯 Great piece by @row1.ca on unbundling research into modular knowledge! >

Coming soon - open collections 🌱

New AI science tool by Open AI openai.com/index/introd... - great motivation for why we need movements for open, community stewarded infra like @continuous.foundation @atproto.science @cairos.network rather than extractive data grabs by big platforms

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 >

Knowledge is a'ssembling 🌱 @semble.so

Interop in action! 🤝

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

The projects list at atproto.science/projects/ is now using a @semble.so collection as data source 😎 So the page will update automatically when we add new projects to the collection, no need to edit any website html! semble.so/profile/atpr...

Yes! It will be so cool when people's "now reading" pages are on protocol (like www.ribbonfarm.com/now-reading/)

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

We’re excited to announce that @aaronstevenwhite.io will join us in Vancouver at #ATScience to present @chive.pub - a new project for decentralized preprints with ATProto 🚀 Check out the launch thread for more details:

"one book can significantly change the reader's attitude and action to an extent unmatched by the impact of any other medium" - still true! This is why sharing what we're all reading on open protocols is such a powerful part of collective sensemaking 💙

New tagline for Semble? 😁 "make your bookmarks atproto’s problem"

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

2025 was a big year for us: @semble.so went from concept to working product, with 150 users in 2 months, a public API, and the wonderful atproto community already helping us build into the Atmosphere. We also co-launched @atproto.science and @cairos.network. Here's our year in review and what's next

give me a feed of podcasts my friends are listening to? ✅

Media types coming to @semble.so soon 👀

We already have several speakers and volunteers in need of travel support to attend #ATScience - if you’re able to pitch in with event sponsorship, please be in touch with us here or [email protected]! Tons of great energy swirling around ATScience, let’s make it the best possible for everyone!

Excited to announce another confirmed speaker for #ATScience! @hyl.st from @sealight.xyz will present “Making wisdom together“ on seams.so, a social annotation tool on ATproto💡

Exciting new @atproto.science project just dropped 🔥

Chive is a decentralized eprint service built on AT Protocol. Here's what it does and a bit on its design.

@semble.so just got its own internet handle!

Do you like bookmarking things and losing them in the Bookmarks hole? Or not knowing what your Bluesky peeps are bookmarking No? Then try semble.so (built on ATProtocol) and use social bookmarking to learn from the academic hivemind.

More folks should be checking out semble.so, it's quite fun

Woke up, opened semble.so, scrolled for 10 seconds, found two new interesting things to read 😇

The main #ATmosphereConf call for proposals is closing TOMORROW forms.atprotocol.community/r/wAVDkk @atproto.science is also doing a call for speakers for their conference side event, and you have a little more time to submit for that one.

Read more about #ATScience plans in our post from before the break. Buying your #ATmosphereConf ticket includes all side events. Thanks to @cosmik.network for sponsoring to help make this happen

Interesting thread by @altmetric.com comparing research mentions on Bluesky vs Twitter Respect to the science community on Bluesky! 💪🧪 And we’re just getting started with the broader @atproto.science ecosystem - will be cool to check back on these data at the end of 2026 🚀

Excited to announce that @sjgreenwood.bsky.social will be at #ATScience presenting their work on the beloved @paper-feed.bsky.social , experiments on self-hosted feeds (in collaboration with @graze.social @aendra.com) and observational analyses of social media on #atproto! Looking forward to it! 🎉
