where do these comments "go"? I realize this isn't like the fediverse so when I write here people who are following my account wont see this message in my feed, but since this is part of the atmosphere some other client app could make a feed of all the comments people are making on a link on frontpage where they could be replied to externally right?
all interactions on atproto are stored in your PDS (repo). Different modalities (microblogging/linkaggregators) use different 'Lexicons', a way to determine the format of the interaction, basically. Different lexicons are not mutually legible, but a platform can decide to support multiple lexicons if they want to. You can actually see the content of your PDS here: https://atproto-browser.vercel.app/at/wake.st You can see all the app.bsky stuff, thats all your interactions on bluesky, as well as the fyi.frontpage.unravel.comment. thats where this comment lives
thanks! getting closer to having an view of the dynamics of this place. So if someone wanted to make a feed of all your activity they would need to parse everything in all the different specific lexicons attached to each PDS that they saw.
Yeah, this is an unfortunate side effect of atproto not using a json-ld like thing. In ActivityPub everything extends from a base type that can show up in a feed, no such "extension" (or dare I say, trait) system exists in atproto lexicons right now.
Thanks for this explanation. Sounds like they fyi needs a “save” lexicon so I can save this!
so my last comment is rendered here: https://atproto-browser.vercel.app/at/did:plc:4vembyxavyiuv7zsajfaslnq/fyi.unravel.frontpage.comment/3l6nub6xxor2i so I guess this could be pulled in in a client app pretty easily
yay! really excited about this.
Hey, it's good to finally be here! I'm not too knowledgeable on link aggregators - aside from Reddit, though it barely is one anymore - but I'm interested in seeing how this project evolves over time.
Adding communities is on our roadmap. I'm taking some time off soon and hope to work on it! We're also working on notifications etc too.
Alright, I'm looking forward to it! Notifications would definitely be helpful, I almost didn't catch this reply, lol. Just hope frontpage doesn't turn into Reddit 2.0, but I trust you guys. Y'all already put in some good work and it shows.
What a wonderful day! <Planet of the Apes GIF>
But which one?
Implemented GIFs and I will show you!
very excited to be here~~ (someone quickly give me a tour of the place, and what are we supposed to do, thanks)
Functionality pretty basic at the moment, just posting links and commenting/upvoting! Notifications should be coming in the next week I believe so you'll be able to see when people reply etc and then communities after that.
that sounds a good road map :) excited to see how this shapes out - specially the communities aspect ^_^ right now I think it will be a lot of news links being thrown around -- and I imagine the communities would be great for all the apps built on atproto! (instead of discord)
Goooooooooooo ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
What a time to be alive
Great news, I've been a while it's cool!
So is it safe for dumb-dumb normies like myself to hang here now?
Absolutely 😊
This is pretty cool. I'm really looking forward to seeing what apps fill the ATmosphere and how they develop and coordinate.
Congratulations!
I sent a request to access for beta and it went live for everyone right after it 😄
Same lol
awesome!
Thanks for being such a big part of the beta!
Oh that's great! Glad to be here :)
Congrats on going wide! Looking forward to seeing this grow!
Woohoo!! Happy to be here 🎉
Congrats, really exciting!
Excited about a kind of decentralized, modern Reddit! I dream of building on a public lexicon some way to see posts/comments from a page I’m already visiting. Seeing the discussion about content, blogs, whatever as I’m browsing is something ATProto seems uniquely capable of enabling
So what happens when I comment here, does my activity here show up on bsky in any way? Is there any overlap in the lexicons?
Not at the moment. We have our own lexicon that you can view here https://atproto-browser.vercel.app/at/joelh.social We are thinking about adding cross posting and other features that integrate with bsky at some point but we'd like to get big features out first.
so does this just grab links posted to bluesky and put them in a reddit-like interface or is this it's own thing
Nope! Anyone can post links any links that they'd like. We don't do anything with bluesky links at the moment!
its like its own thing but its all stored on your bluesky account
Curious.
