i want to do a little ✨ ama about atproto ✨ in this thread. no question is too simple if you’ve been curious about atproto but don’t know much (anything?) about it, ask any question and i’ll try to explain it in my own words. (+ would love to hear from friends who aren’t very active on bsky)

meanwhile...

once upon a time in the land of gnomes…

I’m thrilled Toni is staying to lead us into this next chapter. He’s spent the past four months proving it, leading with curiosity and courage. Welcome (again) Toni!

Celebrated Jāņi (midsummer) in Latvia this year! Bonfires and dancing till dawn, flower and oak wreaths, songs about Saule, the sun goddess, that are older than the churches. The Baltics hold a surviving piece of old Europe in living tradition.

What's up, chat! Group chats are rolling out today in the new v1.124 update. This is our first feature built for communities, and there's more to come.

there is a bookbinder’s museum in SF and they have beautiful old books

v1.123 is live! You can now attach up to 10 photos in posts. We listened to your feedback and redesigned the photo carousel. It only appears for posts with at least 5 photos. Swipe through to learn more.

did you know wisteria can take over a tree

v1.122 is rolling out today, featuring a better way to discover and share articles, blog posts and newsletters across the Atmosphere via new, dynamic Standard.site link cards. 🧵

shared some thoughts on building with @attie.ai and why I'm so excited blockchaincapital.com/blog/after-t...

I'll go against the discourse. 280 contributors to repo.npmx.dev in 100 days. We only used bluesky for social comms. We asked while welcoming folks, and most of them got involved after reading our bsky posts. Thanks for building and running bluesky. This network is a great place to do open source 💙

when you need books more than you need a view

People yelled at me a few weeks ago when I suggested locally run open models were getting to be pretty powerful. But... it's true.

When your singer songwriter friend knows you well enough to gift you a comprehensive book of ballads full of murder, magic, and mayhem. Thank you @mpintomadigan.bsky.social !!

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

After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X. This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue. 🧵 (1/5) www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

actually though

Conference Takeaways I’m back from ATmosphereConf in Vancouver, and I'm processing what I saw and heard. The atproto developer community could not have been nicer and more welcoming. Here are some takeaways. ... https://toni.org/2026/04/03/conference-takeaways/

one more thing i liked about vancouver — they disguise their electrical boxes as trees and shrubs

paul and @thepope.dev rolling legendaries has caused incredible amounts of internal strife

neat mode on surf.social — the “look” tab lets you scroll through full screen photos. and this is an an atproto feed! really shows the power of the open web.

who remembers neopets? i miss raphelix

Today some of the most innovative creators & podcasters are launching social websites that will bring millions of their fans to the social web: verge.surf.social decoder.surf.social versionhistory.surf.social vergecast.surf.social wired.surf.social 404media.surf.social poweruser.surf.social

I guess I'm still learning the fundamental features of bluesky, and didn't fully appreciate how fun atproto can be. What do you mean it's possible to write scripts to generate posts!? I'm just so used to walled garden nonsense that it's shocking when you have an API to use.

Wow, guys, I used Attie to code that edit button that Bluesky has been denying us all this time! You can test it out here: edit-button-production.up.railway.app/jcsalterego....

we have @germnetwork.com badges on Bluesky profiles and @stream.place livestream links on avatars what other Atmospheric integrations would yall like to see in the Bluesky app?

At Bluesky, we measure what matters. As CIO, I’ve built a dashboard to track the key performance indicators we use for innovation. 📈 cio-command.fly.dev

I wrote about my #AtmosphereConf experience. I hope it's as cathartic to read as it was for me to write. Thank you, everyone, for this amazing experience. All I wish is that we had more time.

insanely beautiful moss-covered cherry blossom trees 🌸

Low clouds embrace Lummi Island on the Salish Sea. May you find beauty in your day. 💫

We hear the concerns about AI. Our goal is to use this technology to give people greater control, not to generate content. Attie uses AI to help you create custom feeds without having to know how to code.

A recap of #atmosphereconf 2026 as well as an overview of why I'm spending my very limited free time in my life betting on ATProto (and why I think you should, too!) This isn't just for developers. This is for everyone. brittanyellich.com/atproto/

@dholms.at dropping huge news at #AtmosphereConf - the PLC Swiss org has been officially founded!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

One of the reasons that the willful blindness about AI from people with platforms on the left is shortsighted is that “hope it goes away” doesn’t have a great track record as a strategy for contesting control of new political domains and technologies.

Attie has one initial function: build personalized custom feeds. I love the moss feed, but maybe I'm in the mood for more variety. Show me "pictures of moss, posts about medieval ballads, deep lore about trees, herbs, and plants."

amazing presentation by @danabra.mov today. no LLMs involved here, but we're converging towards the same idea. the future of software is remixable, dynamic, malleable, liquid.

You can give us feedback about Attie directly in the app by clicking on the megaphone icon to the right side of the feed creator.

@schlage.town has the best sweatshirt

If you run into any bugs with Attie feel free to tag me about it, we've tested it internally for a bit but letting all sorts of new people use a thing inevitably turns stuff up.

3/ Attie was designed by the Bluesky team to pull down that barrier, and make feed-building as easy as chatting. You describe what you want, and it makes a customized feed for you.

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.
