How hard would it be to replicate a community Slack installation to an ATProto lexicon so messages can be archived or sent to other application for indexing? Is there any community lexicons for this already?! cc @bmann.ca

Oh this is a great idea! @burrito.space is gathering links out of User & Agents @userandagents.org Discord & putting them in Semble, this is a similar use case. Look at the @roomy.space lexicon, might be able to use that directly? They are doing Discord mirroring.

Unfortunately @roomy.space doesn't store the messages on the atmosphere.

I believe they’re moving to this. Don’t know if their lexicons are public yet?

Wow this @colibri.social look extremely slack-like but on public ATProto messaging infra. Very cool. Comprehensive lexicons but no overt bridging fields that I can see.

If you have unique ID on the Slack side you can add additional data to lexicon records that Colibri uses.

Extremely cool, we have been able to prototype a backfill of Feeling of Computing Slack archives straight into @colibri.social. It ends up under a bot account, but the bot deeplinks the speaker's atproto profile which Colibri renders nicely so its actually quite coherent. Slack links work (mostly)
