Hey 👋 if you don’t know us already, we’re building Frontpage; an AT Procol based federated link aggregator. We shipped an initial MVP in closed beta recently and have since been thinking about the road to general availability.
This post is an RFC (Request for Comments) targeted at technically minded folks who are interested in seeing the progression of atproto for non-Bluesky/microblogging use cases. All that’s to say the language that follows assumes some knowledge about how Bluesky and atproto work! I’ve tried to include links to explain what all of the jargon means though, so hopefully it’s not entirely nonsense for folks a little less familiar!
When you post on Frontpage, we propose that a mirror post will also be created in your Bluesky account. When you comment on Frontpage, we propose that a mirror reply will be created in your Bluesky account.
Conversely, when you reply to one of these mirrored posts in Bluesky - we will show it as a reply in Frontpage.
Additionally, Bluesky likes will be translated to Frontpage votes and vice versa.
Makes sense. But your feed contains both mastodon posts and lemmy posts iirc?
The homepage contains the communities (e.g. Lemmy): https://fedia.io/
The microblog page contains the… microblogs (e.g. Mastodon): https://fedia.io/microblog
That’s why I said it’s two different views, you can’t have everything at the same time, it’s one or the other
@Blaze@feddit.org I just want to note that it’s a feature request on GitHub right now, it was already implemented on KBin (even tho in a bit weird way), so it’s definitely possible
