A New Social
@anew
Social media should be centered around people, not platforms. Let's build bridges, not walls. That's why we're building Bridgy Fed and Bounce. Learn more:
Connecting protocols is hard, complicated work. But somebody's gotta do it 💪🏼
A new challenger appears 💥 You can now log into the Bridgy Fed settings page with your website using IndieAuth! Bridging your website to the Atmosphere and the Fediverse just got a whole lot easier.
🎤 *ahem* 🎶 We don't care 🎶 👉🏼 Who's your host 👉🏼 Where you post 👉🏼 Don't care what's your DID As long as you Bridgy 🫶🏼
For bridged posts that exceed the 300-character limit, you can view the full text from a “view more” button. On profiles you can also see the full text and handles display as the native handles. 3/
In your feed, bridged posts show up with a little bridged icon and handles display the way they do on their native ecosystem. No weird long Bridgy Fed handles! If you view a bridged profile you get the switcher to jump to the other protocol and see the native profile. 2/
@mackinac.social, built by @whiteside.io, is an open social web client that's thinking multi-protocol and bridging-first! John's added a *ton* of unique features we've never seen before, so we wanted to outline a few of them in a thread 👇🏼 1/🧵
We heard a lot of people wanted People, Not Platforms merch at #AtmosphereConf 👀 We've got hoodies, t-shirts, mugs, stickers, and more on our online store: store.anew.social
Happy to see all the love for this feature! We had a feeling y'all would like it 😊 A reminder that if you don't want these DMs, or at least want to turn them off for a bit, you can do so in the Bridgy Fed settings page: fed.brid.gy/settings
We're excited to announce that Bluesky PBC included us in a round of grants to help foster the ATmosphere! Their generous grant will support infrastructure costs for Bridgy Fed and Bounce. We're so lucky to be included among so many phenomenal builders 🙏🏼 Here are a few we're excited about: 1/🧵
A mini follow-up to this mini-launch: bridged Bluesky/Blacksky/any ATProto users can now use all of Bridgy Fed's blocking features right from our settings page! Check it out here: fed.brid.gy/settings
Today, we're launching the first Beta of Bounce, a tool that lets you migrate your social graph across protocols! We got such a positive response from our announcement, and we're so excited for folks to try it out. Here's what you need to know when you Bounce: blog.anew.social/bounce-beta-...
