@imanijoy@mastodon.social showing off the new Mastodon profile pages and COLLECTIONS (!!) at #FediForum!
@benpate@mastodon.social talking about E2EE messaging on ActivityPub at #FediForum. Interop with Emissary, Bonfire, and (eventually) Mastodon!
RE: @quillmatiq@mastodon.social
A reminder: you can be on a Blacksky, Eurosky, Northsky, selfhosted.social, BlueAT, or any other Atmosphere PDS - including one you host yourself! - and Bridgy Fed will bridge you to the Fediverse
@mapache@hachyderm.io showing off FediProfile, a link-in-bio service, at #FediForum!
@Profpatsch@mastodon.xyz showing off Flohmarkt, a federated buy-and-sell market, at #FediForum!
Those kickoff demos were such a boost of excitement as #FediForum starts this morning. The whole community is up to some seriously cool work, and it's great to see the maturity in the kind of services people are launching/announcing at the conference.
My talk from #AtmosphereConf is up on YouTube!
I talk about all the dreams we accomplished within only a year, lessons I learned along the way, and some of the new dreams I have for the next few years.
Biggest lesson: dream bigger, bc @snarfed.org can literally build anything.
Loving @evan@cosocial.ca's explaining ActivityPub session at #FediForum. Some really great tips on how we can educate folks outside the space 👏🏼
@snarfed.org currently showing off a new (huge) Bounce feature we're launching at #FediForum today. Stay tuned for news soon 👀

You're telling people what your perfect protocol's world could look like. You should be listening. Listen more.

This is the version of Bounce I've always wanted.
It couldn't have been possible without the work the Atmosphere community has done in having a variety of trusted, well-managed PDS providers.
I know it isn't easy work, and I appreciate each and every one of the independent providers for giving folks alternatives to Bluesky 🫶🏼

This is the first of my cross-Atmosphere service experiments, and I hope you enjoy using it as much as I did building it.
Go and Disperse your links all over the Atmosphere!

It's a website, bookmarklet, linkable site, and (soon) a browser plugin.
The goal of this is two-fold: let Atmosphere power users send links to the multiple services they already use, or to help newcomers discover apps in the ecosystem beyond Bluesky.

Sherif from Eurosky is here at #FediForum demoing their new Atmosphere account portal and their EU-Haul migration tool!
Disperse is now a Firefox Add-on!
Starting today, you can Disperse links across the Atmosphere from a click of a button on Firefox , @zenbrowser@floss.social, @Waterfox@mastodon.social, or any other Firefox-based browsers 🚀

I'm willing to say that we haven't even done our most exciting work yet.
Bridgy Fed and Bounce are foundations. We've only just begun.
Replying to
It's also open source on Tangled w/ mirrors on Blacksky Forge & GitHub.
Tangled: https://tangled.org/quillmatiq.com/disperse/
Blacksky Forge: https://forge.blacksky.community/quillmatiq.com/disperse
GitHub: https://github.com/quillmatiq/disperse
I have a roadmap for Disperse, but if you have ideas, add requests via issues on Tangled!

@alexisbushnell@toot.wales Not while it's your bridged account, no - not yet, at least.
We did launch a new feature to Bounce this week where you can Bounce your Atmosphere account that lives in Bridgy Fed to another PDS, bring your Fedi account it was connected to into Bridgy Fed, and start bridging the other way: https://blog.anew.social/bounce-pds-provider-migrations/
Replying to
@alexisbushnell@toot.wales WAIT, I think I just understood what you asked for -- I thought you were asking if we have an EU-based bridge.
This already works - you can bridge from *any* Atmosphere PDS, whether its in the US, EU, or outer space.
It's #FediForum Day 3!

@dansup@mastodon.social this side of the ecosystem wouldn't be where it is without you, man. Appreciate your evolution on these ideas 🤝🏼

We're going to keep working on cutting costs, but, as always, we appreciate all the community donations that help us stay an independent non-profit!

Lots of good notes on where we can improve things, too. We may or may not be working on solving...all of them? Maybe 😉

@andypiper@macaw.social A correction on my part since I misunderstood the question! https://mastodon.social/@quillmatiq/116500466097507505

@prism@infosec.exchange There's lots of cross-posting/multi-platform options! I recommend taking a look at @surf@flipboard.social and @openvibe@mastodon.social
Replying to
@phillycodehound Agreed! We were shocked when @johnwhiteside showed us for the first time. He really *gets* bridging.
Replying to
@lqdev@toot.lqdev.tech We (I, specifically) do a terrible job of promoting that. Need to start talking about it more! Let me know if you have any good ideas on how to approach it 😊
Replying to
@bellosoph@social.lol It's to help explain it to folks who aren't familiar with/technical enough to understand the architecture! The blog post dives deeper into how it actually works
Replying to
@prism@infosec.exchange Bluesky is only one view into the network, there are countless services that tap into it without any dependency on Bluesky itself!
There isn't any one blog post that covers all these apps, but I highly recommend checking them out. You can find the URLs if you sign into Disperse and hover over their icons. If you have a Bluesky/Atmosphere account, you can use it to log into any of them!
Replying to
@prism@infosec.exchange Unfortunately can't log into the other side of the bridge at the moment - you'd need a native Atmosphere account for that
