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

What makes it such a fun project for me is that its a collective experiment and search for finding out of atproto is actually a good protocol to build an irc-like chatroom on. Its currently definitely an alpha and very much an in-development project, but its going much further much faster than i expected. Theres already multiple appviews for example, and the concepts of different rooms are now being worked on. But if it will scale to a large number of users, not the faintest idea, only one way to find out One thing that Picochat has that I think is valuable is a small but growing userbase that likes using the app for its own sake, simply for chatting with the people there, its not just purely a tech demo anymore

cool! can you tell a bit more about the backend? is it a completely separate system, or does it use ozone in some way?
