Tijs 🦑I kinda hate that my only two options for getting mention notifications from <a href="https://social.lol/tags/atproto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#atproto</a> seem to be plugging into the firehose or polling <a href="https://bsky.social" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://bsky.social</a> every minute. Anybody know about a simple pubsub type thing for listening to mentions for a single handle/did?

Bolet :neobread_eyes:Seeking help for bluesky integration docs, any article, docs or blog post would be appreciated. I'm doing some research now for bluesky auth to make the enable bluesky process on wafrn a bit better do you know any stuff i can read on app passwords and/or inter-service communications ? basically I want to make the wafrn backend make authenticated calls to our own pds without having to use our users passwords, so I'm seeking for alternative methods of authentication <a class="hashtag" href="https://app.wafrn.net/dashboard/search/bluesky%20pds" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bluesky-pds</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://app.wafrn.net/dashboard/search/bluesky%20dev" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bluesky-dev</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://app.wafrn.net/dashboard/search/atproto" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#atproto</a>

Mai :v_trans:Tinkered around with the bsky / at protocol around a few days ago (more like a week lol), in an attempt to create an fully decentral account / identity where no parts are owned by an copoeration. And to my surprires you can actually not only host the account data yourself (called a PDS) but also the whole identity itself!Wrote a (rather long) blog post about the journey and how to achieve it; check it out if those things interest you: <a href="https://blog.lapyst.dev/posts/14-how-to-create-a-completly-independent-bluesky-atproto-account" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://blog.lapyst.dev/posts/14-how-to-create-a-completly-independent-bluesky-atproto-account</a><a href="https://soc.saiyajin.space/tags/bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bluesky</a> <a href="https://soc.saiyajin.space/tags/atproto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#atproto</a> <a href="https://soc.saiyajin.space/tags/hosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hosting</a> <a href="https://soc.saiyajin.space/tags/selfhosted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#selfhosted</a> <a href="https://soc.saiyajin.space/tags/decentral" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#decentral</a> <a href="https://soc.saiyajin.space/tags/decentralized" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#decentralized</a> <a href="https://soc.saiyajin.space/tags/federation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#federation</a>

Roni LaukkarinenI've been following ATProto's development from the sidelines since 2022, but I somehow missed this great take by <a href="https://social.coop/@eloquence" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@eloquence</a> on Bluesky interoperability with Mastodon and ActivityPub: <a href="https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/discussions/1716" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/discussions/1716</a>"We currently have two emerging alternatives to X that deserve to be taken seriously: the fediverse and BlueSky. The fediverse tends to attract folks who highly value open source in principle and practice; BlueSky tends to attract folks who are looking for a drop-in Twitter replacement.In this context, I would argue that a clear commitment from the key parties (that includes @Gargron's Mastodon gGmbH and Bluesky the company) towards an interoperable social web is essential. We should be able to follow each other no matter where we decide to make our social media home. Even Mark Zuckerberg's Threads has at least made a commitment towards interoperability."It's a good read. Year after year, it feels like ATProto and ActivityPub, Bluesky and Mastodon, couldn't be further apart. Even Nostr and WordPress support ActivityPub. We're seeing more servers and clients in the Fediverse adopting ActivityPub. As far as I know, 99% of ATProto is still powered by Bluesky's main server, which makes it not very decentralized. I wonder why anyone would want to set up a server for ATProto when ActivityPub is so much more widely used.I see Bluesky and ATProto's future as just another private company, like the rest. It's easy to pretend decentralization and open source just for marketing.<a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/Bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Bluesky</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/Decentralization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Decentralization</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/ActivityPub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ActivityPub</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/ATProto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ATProto</a>
