POC/WIP AT Protocol Handler ~ Chrome extension to accept at://did urls.

Proof of Concept | AT Protocol Handler ~ Chrome extension to open at did urls

Bluesky Thread announcement

Use: - 'at' as the keyword to put in the browser url, press space/tab to activate and then paste url!

Just to clarify this is again just a proof of concept, plus possibly a work in progress, if I think of other ways to enhance it.

Manual install at present, until it gets approved by the chrome webstore, submitted it tonight. So could be awhile before it becomes available.

ATProtoViewer ~ PWA + #Bookmarks + bsky share feature.

ATProtoViewer ~ PWA + #Bookmarks + bsky share feature.

Announcing a new edition to my github pages of the above. What start from dame.is development of a guestbook for my pds And me trying to do something similar for bookmarks, which sparked the desire to have something to display the records. Resulting in developing the ATProto Record Viewer, mainly for my own use.

The script now accepts 'did=' (using the string and not handle) and 'uri=' parameters which will auto detect PDS Host!

uri Parameter:

If the page is loaded with a ?uri=at://... parameter, the form fields (repo, collection, rkey, pds) are automatically filled based on the parsed AT URI. The user can then fetch the single record or modify the fields for further queries. Also supports the Bluesky web urls. Both can be enter/pasted on the page URI field. Example:

 undefined
    
http

Utilities or appviews that have implement link markdown!

Utilities or appviews that have implement link markdown!

Markdown is away to posts text with hyperlinks on blueksy, similar to the process on Reddit & Github.

See this Youtube video by Debbie Ridpath Ohi on how to use it.

Utilities i am aware of that allows you to use markdown:-

If you know of any other utilities that support it tag me @corkiejp.github.io on bluesky or reply on site I have posted this!

There is a draft of this guide on my [Github Pages](https://github.com/corkiejp/Corkiejp-notes-on-awesome-bluesky/blob/main/morepages/mark

    Post Notifications from the creator of listifications!

    Post Notifications from @posts.listifications.app

    From the same creator (Dominik Picheta) as the popular Listifications utility!

    This is an early beta, in testing phase at the moment!

    Bluesky thread announcing the feature and instructions!

    It is easy to setup by doing the following:-

    • Create a list of accounts you want to be notified about on your profile called “Post Notifications”! Not mod list!
    • Follow posts.listifications.app
    • Enable ongoing conversations from the account by sending a DM/Chat to it. No need to have chats open to everyone!
    • On the list detail the reason for it in the description, so accounts don't block to get of the list. Ask them to tag you for removal!
    • Having the list feed is a handy way to see the posts notified to your account.

    deer.social lets you build your own web of trust with bluesky verification system.

    You can select accounts to be trusted verifiers instead of relying on accounts selected by bsky, NYT or wired!

  • For the haters? You don't have to see the new mark. Disable it in settings, moderation.

    Outside of the top three accounts announced to be verifiers (bsky,NYT,wired), I have come across two high profile accounts with it!

    Online Identity and bad faith lists! eg 'Openly Transphobic'! WHY?

    I don't get what an accounts real world reality has got to do with their online presence? It is of no concern to me what gender, race or how you identify yourself. I judge characters that I not likely to meet in real life based on the content they share and interact with it online.

    Thankfully Bluesky has started to react to Bad Faith lists creators.

    Moving forward, lists and starter packs with insulting profanity, slurs, abusive terms, or unproven allegations will be hidden from other users in the Bluesky app (but still visible to the creator).

    Question mark is anyone going to use it! Training for AI, that you hopefully can opt out of if you start using it?

  • #Meta says it will resume AI training with public content from European users!

    Meta said it will start notifying users in the EU about the training, and will include a link to a form where they can object at any time. “We’ll honour all objection forms,” the company said. No need to wait, it is possible to opt out now, but I think you need to do it on each platform.

    How Meta uses information for generative AI models and features

    You can submit an objection request through your Facebook, Instagram or Meta account. Your objection will be applied to the account that you’re logged in to and any accounts that you’ve added to the same Accounts Centre.

    Yet to find a link for threads, and they say they don’t scrape private messages, so no need for messenger?

    Threads maybe be covered by Instagram?

    Why don't moderation lists have a feed showing who you will be blocking or muting. Solution!

    Using skyfeed.app and the below list as input. https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:e4elbtctnfqocyfcml6h2lf7/lists/3l53cjwlt4o2s

    I turned MAGA Moderation list by ‪@skywatch.blue‬ into a feed. So you can see the content you will be blocking or muting! Maybe choose to block or add individual accounts to your own list! Using the above as an example only and just a test! It is easy to create these feed for any list/s you want.

    Here is the example feed: - https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:lgjvdkqeeutvf7zj6wow3jro/feed/aaacmyy2orsms Probably will delete the above feed in a week, just using it as a test example!

    Control your own moderation!

  • Your interest options is now also in settings, so you can close it in the search link, if you want!

  • Doing the rounds now as well by Irish Media i.e. RTE & Examiner!

    My approval for my account to be scrapped has been disabled since last year. Have you that setting turned off?

    It will be interesting to find out, if the platform is honouring that setting. My account is protected and my last post on the platform was 2 Feb and a reply on 28th March.

    Didn't know of change in the international name: -

    [1] XIUC advised the DPC on 25 March 2025 that, from 1 April 2025, the name of the Irish entity and Data Controller for EU users of X would change from Twitter International Unlimited Company (‘TIUC’) to X Internet Unlimited Company as part of ongoing Twitter to X rebranding efforts.

    Edit: - Linking to grok settings not allowed on here?

  • Cool feature add is to change your interests you first selected when creating your account. So if your still seeing a lot of cats & dogs pictures. You can finally un-select that option.

    As for chats. That is set to only receive chats from ongoing conversations for me. So don’t think I will be using the react feature much.

    Also on android, had to search for the update. It did not appear in apps needing to be updated!

    Bluesky’s latest update adds chat reactions and an Explore page, similar to X

    Jaz's 📌~ 'PushPin' Feed was offline recently, create your own?

    If you were reliant on it? Are you think that method is to public.

    You could create your own feed with skyfeed.app using your own specific string of characters instead.

    The two emojis that work on their own in regex are: - 📌 & 🔖

    I have setup my own feed that searches just my own accounts. Example of the fields needed on skyfeed are: -

    Bluesky Post with the above

    I have update my own regex to contain the following:-

    📌|🔖|ⓘforme:|Note!🔖

    So you could possibly use your own keywords for not so public declaration that your bookmarking a post.

    Bookmarks! Bookmarks! ~ Known methods.

    Pretty new to Lemmy, so don't know if people look for Bluesky support on this? The content which I have posted a few times on Bluesky got re posted today. So I thought I would try post here as well.

    One of my favourite methods is kyst.app has a DM method and webpage to see the bookmarks so cross device support. For private DM's to an alt, and I still use the 📌/ 🔖 method.
