1/ 📢 @cosmik.network has been awarded $1M in grant funding by Open Philanthropy and @asterainstitute.bsky.social These generous grants will support our development of Semble - a social "micro-knowledge" network for researchers on Bluesky/ATProto. Think Are.na + Goodreads for research!

"This blog is about celebrating that friendship" with open source developers. That was our first post in Feb 2008. Today, all 1,557 posts (2008–2026) live in the Atmosphere as verified @standard.site records: https://opensource.googleblog.com/2008/02/welcome-to-google-open-source-blog.html

So many plugin downloads in the first week! 🥳 Collective Knowledge Gardening is blooming 🌻 🌱 Install the plugin here: community.obsidian.md/plugins/semb...

🎤 -2 days! Meet our final speaker for DWeb virtual meetup: Wesley Finck 💚 He's a longtime DWebber building Semble, an open social network where you can turn bookmarks into shared knowledge through human curation, not algorithmic feeds. 🌱Join us Wednesday! #DWeb

Agreed, the whole essay is excellent & a very useful frame. "We have spent centuries building institutions for teaching knowledge [and] certifying expertise. We have paid much less systematic attention to teaching people to ride their own brains." ty @disnetdev.com for bringing it to my attention

We’ve been awarded a $300K non-dilutive grant, and I’m insanely proud of our team for pulling this off. More to come soon!

Attending #EMNLP2026 or following along from home? Tired of Whova and Underline? Use infrastructure made by researchers instead! Lea recommends talks/posters for you; organizes your own presentations; shows you who is attending; includes a live feed of posts; and more! lea.ac/conferences/...

Having so much fun prototyping this week. A lot of ideas coming together. Hoping to finish #PaperTrail for @popfeed.social + @bookhive.buzz, in the coming days, so that I can find my fellow #bookworms on the #Atmosphere who are reading the same books, start a #bookclub, and read along together.

Did you know that we gave a lighting talk at DWeb Camp in July? It's a friendly explainer of what Semble is, check it out or share with a curious friend! www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsFl...

It breaks my brain to see this in contrast to almost zero funding for the Atmosphere...

Very proud to be partnering with @graze.social to support coverage of the 2026 Midterms. They've done incredible work and made feeds for all 50 states, and have a gorgeous interface over at midterms.graze.social. Check out their website and be sure to pin and like the feed for your home state!

I think I know what I'll be reading this weekend 👀 www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Meanwhile...

What @freemix.fm is doing is so ambitious, well executed from the jump, and just so freaking *cool*. They created an entire music platform with a built-in sharing and licensing system, all on atproto. You gotta see it.

you're just going about your day and you now get to read stuff like "Trump says Sundar Pichai talked him out of renaming the Atlantic Ocean" and you just have to nod and move on with your day. “Oceans are different, sir.” lmao www.theverge.com/policy/10167...

Super cool. Itching to try a version for science :) "Science, liberated for the open web"

Cornell Tech has an incubator for PhD graduates looking to turn their research into a startup. Please see here! tech.cornell.edu/programs/phd...

Sobering convo with someone experienced in impact philanthropy. They said that I should move to SF for at least 3 months and work on fundraising full time, since it's so hard to get funders attention these days. We have tech with massive liberatory potential and yet feudal courts are on the rise 😐

I'm going to @mozilla.org MozFest in Barcelona, October 28-30. Very excited! I'm going as a developer and community builder: running @atproto.barcelona and building @placita.app, an app on the AT Protocol. If you work on the open social web, let's meet! #MozFest #atproto

End to End, DID to DID payment with @atcash.app Here’s a teaser. Lots more to come.

GM. We are going to win. An internet where 4 corporations wall us all into their surveillance state and make us pay rent forever is just incompatible with human flourishing. The only question is how long it takes everyone propping up history's worst billionaires to figure this out.

Semble connect now also available in Reams! :) Enable the semble collect plugin in the obsidian plugins settings and follow the same instructions! It's the same plugin! Welcome to the interop agenda 😈

Banger post by @renderg.host ! Eager to try this out 🤩 omg and also Draw Conclusions is a banger tagline

Introducing #Assemblage 🧡 Add @semble.so cards and collections and @margin.at annotations to an infinite canvas, draw connections between them to create context, expand your understanding and see the bigger picture! → assemblage.renderg.host #ATscience 🧪 #ATmosphere 🌀 #ATproto 🪿 #ATberlin 🧶

Semble Collect, now available in @reams.ink! If you haven't checked out this awesome atproto markdown editor, now is a great time to!

Check out @hwtrack.bsky.social , a great weekly roundup on how AI is changing the practice of science, by @aris-pub.bsky.social And you can also follow it on @semble.so :)

interesting direction, thanks @tynanpurdy.com ! What do ppl think about having some form of this in @semble.so ? (likes/ratings for links)

Calling all Obsidian users! We now have an Obsidian plugin that lets you easily manage links in your notes using Semble. Install it here: community.obsidian.md/plugins/semb... read more here: blog.cosmik.network/3mybawxqrf22h Setup details below 🥳

Call for collective sensemaking! I'm trying to make sense of the uprisings in France, feel free to add updates, perspectives etc

Psst, foryou.club/atmosphere

"Just like labor law gave workers associational rights to meet the workplace conditions of mass industrial capitalism, so too can associational data rights give data producing communities associational rights to meet the mass, aggregate cultural production conditions of informational capitalism."

We're delighted to announce that the Eurosky Identity Platform has been officially verified by the Digital Public Goods Alliance as a digital public good (DPG). eurosky.tech/news/eurosky...

New @skyreader.app feature: you can now save and read PDFs/EPUBs! PDFs can be viewed in their original layout or with text reflow when supported (great for mobile). EPUBs display by default in paged mode and look great everywhere. Highlighting and notes work great for both.

At the end of #IOSP2026 we did a round of "what are you excited for?" It was great to hear one of the participants say "my new @aster.id !" Let's do this!!

This call for proposals includes #ATScience presentations! If you’re not sure if you should be in one of the main tracks or the science one, select the “Other / unknown” when submitting.

The Call for Presentations (CFP) is now open for @atmosphereconf.org We're looking forward to seeing your great submissions!

Heading to SF next week to host a dinner discussion with some of my smartest friends on the future of software development, deployment, and management. Attendance is by invitation, but we have a couple of spots open for people passionate and building in this space! luma.com/gusek7ee

Super excited for this vision! Haha maybe Noosphere is the corner of the Atmosphere containing the knowledge apps 🤓

IRL is the best :) With @wesleyfinck.org and our @semble.so merch at #IOSP2026

On September 19, we held our first AGM. All four bylaw resolutions passed, and three new board members were elected. Thank you to all who voted and our 42 members who ran. Workers and communities belong on every company board. AGM replay: subvert.fm/agm Join the Subvert co-op: subvert.fm
