PLC Read Replicas - AT Protocol Introducing a self-hostable did:plc read-replica service

We've released a self-hostable reference implementation of a PLC read-replica service to make the Atmosphere ever more decentralized. @retr0.id has details on what this all means.

GitHub - Ashex/atproto-mcp Contribute to Ashex/atproto-mcp development by creating an account on GitHub.

To celebrate atproto.com I've put together a mcp server for searching the docs and apis including recommendations based off the cookbooks and apis. Even include lexicon explortion and a little debug assistant.

Completely local with semantic search, try it out with "uvx atproto-mcp"

Protocol Check-in (Fall 2025) | Bluesky We last shared a protocol roadmap back in March 2025, and wow does time fly. If we're being honest, we haven't tied a bow on as many of these threads as we would've hoped. Oh time, strength, cash, and...

atmosphere devs! 🧑‍🚀

just published a protocol checkin: docs.bsky.app/blog/protoco...

tl;dr
expect to see a lot of updates from us in the next few months. we're hard at work on making AT easier to build on & ensuring the network remains a resilient foundation for the future of open social

Are there multiple hosts for jetstream or is it just bluesky that’s hosting the jetstream rn?

Sorry, please hold for 15 minutes. A customer representative will be with you as soon as a GPU is idle.

Who tf are you people i thought i hired atp developers with aproto devs and mitochrondria

Have safe travels!

Wow! So theoretically people could self host mirrors like they do for linux apt packages? And if data concurrency can be maintained/respected (in a blockchain like fashion later on), did:plc identities would be truly decentralised! (Maybe even more so than did:web or the the other did’s)

Oh wow, what does that mean? Faster operations by skipping reverse proxy? Or simpler http requests?

an example of fetching my top 10 rocksky artists with pdsfs. the command used is jq -r '.artist' app.rocksky.scrobble/* | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -10

a something i've been hacking on:

✨ pdsfs: mount #atproto PDS repositories as a FUSE filesystem!

more info in the repo's readme: tangled.sh/@oppi.li/pdsfs

i've fetched my top 10 @rocksky.app artists with just jq and coreutils:

Where It's at:// — overreacted From handles to hosting.

i wrote down the process of resolving an at:// URI step by step. turns out, it's a great way to learn how the AT protocol works!
