Working on a labeler and it looks like the bsky appview dropped its connection like 2.5 hours ago and hasn't resubscribed. Do I have any way to prompt it to reconnect?

the ringer: a podcasting company owned by spotify that publishes its video exclusively to netflix and has a website but puts its most premium writing on substack. i'm sure the partnership deals are nice but it's so shortsighted!

I’ve been helping build the new 40verse app. We’re thinking about culture and live events on the Atmosphere. How might we build social experiences around events that benefit audiences and organizers alike? Come check it out next week!

Sander van der Waal@sander.oso.social

I'm presenting "40verse pre-launch". Hope to see you there!

atmo.rsvp40verse pre-launchOn Monday 7 September, we will present the first version of 40verse at Garage Noord: an autonomous cultural agenda built on a open social network for the city. After years of technical pioneering, open social networks are beginning to emerge as a serious alternative to the platforms we currently depend on. In Amsterdam in particular, a broad movement is taking shape in which technology, culture and municipal policy are coming together to develop practical alternatives. Together with Waag Futurelab and the City of Amsterdam’s Innovation Department, we would like to show you what this makes possible. We would be delighted to have you there, not only as a guest, but also as someone who, from your own position, can play a part in what comes next. We are honoured that Deputy Mayor Van der Horst, responsible for Digital Affairs, will attend and open the programme. The evening will also bring together a broad group of people from across Amsterdam: large and small cultural organisations, ticketing partners, funds, knowledge institutions, policymakers and those who have supported 40verse from the very beginning. Programme 5:00 PM – Doors open 5:30 PM – Introduction by Deputy Mayor Van der Horst, subject to confirmation 5:45 PM – 40verse presentation ✨ 6:30 PM – The future of open social media and the Culture Coalition 7:00 PM – Drinks, demonstration and Q&A After the presentations, you will be able to create your own account, try out 40verse and continue the conversation over drinks. Practical information Date: Monday 7 September 2026 Time: 5:00–8:00 PM Location: Garage Noord Address: Gedempt Hamerkanaal 40, Amsterdam Background Amsterdam’s cultural sector has become increasingly dependent on a small number of commercial platforms to reach its audiences. As a result, our visibility, audience data and digital relationships now largely lie beyond our own control. During the pre-launch, we will demonstrate how cultural events can be exchanged between different organisations and systems through open social networks. We will also present the progress of the Culture Coalition, a growing partnership working towards a future-proof digital infrastructure for the cultural sector. This evening marks the completion of an important phase in the development of 40verse, but above all, the beginning of something bigger.

Paul's post sings the praises of the public atproto we as early adopters have come to love. Daniel's post demonstrates that spaces cut that access off as a fundamental tenet. I think it's great that we have both! I am curious if the public atproto dies off pretty quickly though.

I've been working diligently on my fantasy sports on atproto prototype, and as soon as the spaces alpha launched, everything really fell into place. Instead of working around the fundamental tension of a fully public network, I could easily match user expectations of a fantasy league.

Community independence in action. Shout out to @rude1.blacksky.team and the rest of the @blackskyweb.xyz team for just being phenomenal people to work with.

Northsky Social Cooperative@transrights.northsky.social

Until our AppView is setup, we’ll be using the @blackskyweb.xyz AppView for Northsky users logging into it. This means that by using the Northsky Social App with our moderation you will be participating in community run infrastructure by Northsky and Blacksky.

i love the bike-first infrastructure of the netherlands. it's probably my favorite thing about living here. but admittedly, since i moved into a new apartment more centrally located a couple months ago, i almost never cycle. walk > public transit > bike >>>>>>>> drive, for me.

Doing some investigation into news data on atproto via @sill.social's appview. The most popular news orgs that don't have an account tied to their domain are: ABC, BBC, CBC. Broadcasting companies hate atproto, you heard it here first.
