Threadiverse... on ATProto?! (activitypub.space)

Check this out: https://nooki.me/

Looks like someone's built a Reddit-like on top of ATProto. Would be really interesting to see whether it could interact with the threadiverse through something like BridgyFed, which currently only works with microblogs (I think?)

Opportunity? Existential threat? You decide...

I'm not real familiar with ATProto, bear with me.

All the data is stored in the nooki PDS. And there is one nooki PDS and can only be one PDS? Or can anyone make one?

To log in, you need a bluesky account.

The sign in form lets you specify the url of your own PDS. I guess that holds copies of my posts? But the only place I can display those posts is on nooki.me?

Users have PDSes (Personal Data Server). Nookie wouldn't have a PDS, it could have its own database but that's not anything to do with the protocol.

The theory with ATProto is that user facing interfaces (App Views) write data directly to PDSes and then this data is aggregated by a giant index (Relays). This relay data is then consumed by those App Views that sort them into posts, replies, likes etc. and presents it to the user as a usable interface to interact with.

That's the high level gist, Bluesky is ridiculously over-engineered as it's made by a bunch of cryptobros who wanted 'social media but on the blockchain' originally and this bleeds into the wider ATProto ecosystem.

I can't speak for nookie, it could just be a basic centralised site that uses Bluesky as a sign-in mechanism. (That'd make sense given the apparent author prompted it here before and didn't say it had any ATProto integration and it used to have the ability to create accounts).

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much more with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿ˜
