Why is everything separate except for my login? I already follow people so having a separate app that knows who I follow and doesn’t care about that is odd.

There was feedback that users wanted to be able to follow separate people than they did on bluesky. We are working on adding an import feature.

Sooo… what’s the integration with atproto then besides a basic login? When I log in with my account I assume I’m going to bring my social graph with me. If that doesn’t happen then it’s just another app to me that I have to spend time on to find people.

pretty sure the point of atproto is to have a social graph you own and can migrate, not a social graph that is across all apps the people I follow on here are not the people I'd follow on tiktok, and it'd be annoying if I was forced into that (which luckily I'm not)

i think it’s a really difficult choice to tap into bsky’s social graph vs roll your own. for one you already have a lot of connections but for two you have to preload everything on

i think what would be best would be to have separate social graph, but one bigger social graph that apps can tap into for like recommendations etc? i guess that bigger graph is bluesky’s at the moment 🥲

We're fully built into atproto. All records write directly to your repo. We're working on adding more Bluesky integration but we've received feedback in the past that people want the ability to follow people on Spark and not on Bluesky.

This is coming! We had this in a previous build but it will be back. You’ll be able to easily follow everyone you follow on Bluesky if they also use Spark.

Y’all had this at one point too iirc. I was able to easily follow just the people I wanted from my bsky follow graph. Assume that feature got lost or removed in some rewrite or smth?

Yeah I was looking at this from my own view of social media without considering others. I’d like all my followers/following auto matched because I don’t use many other apps. I’m not on insta fb or anything else besides discord and here.
