Colibri to my knowledge is basically doing public chats until private spaces are in a better spot then doing private spaces for private groups.
Roomy.space is another one of these who built their own private spaces on atproto and would be worth checking out.
Also Atproto isn’t inherently a bad place for this since it can be a hybrid system of on or off protocol, or using their upcoming permissioned data spaces for private data.
Youre probably looking more for something like the atmosphere (bluesky network) where you have one identity for every app.
But as the other guy said definitely in an ideal world everything communicates with everything cleanly.
I had tons of stability issues within the last year unfortunately, I would still recommend against it.
I still think it’s odd to ban AI outright, it’s incredibly democratizing for smaller platforms and enables them to keep up with without getting bogged down in the drudgery of bug fixes / testing.
It’s impossible, I’ll never understand why anti ai repos draw such a hard line instead of saying hey we won’t even look at 1000+ LOC PRs or design reworks with no discussion.
Both of those are pretty reasonable policies that will kill most of the fly by AI requests.
This is a pretty solid list, besides Code Quality. Most of the links there are user error. It’s akin to blaming a Junior dev for breaking production imo and undermines the entire page.
The most recent release of SOTA models being both more intelligent and 20-30% cheaper is really fighting against this argument (Opus 5.5 & Sol 6).
It sounds like you’re looking for Mbin. But I’m curious, do you want both mastadon and Lemmy combined into a singular feed? Would you be opposed to having your Mastadon feed as a form of “Community” that fits into the normal feed as its own community?
The entire world of software is using AI. It’s so strange to me we’re allowing big corporations like Microsoft, Google, Reddit, etc devs take advantage of it for efficiency gains then turning around and criticizing and scoffing at solo dev projects who want to push the Internet to a better place.
By all means it’s your right to say you don’t want to use anything built with AI, but at this point you’re better just leaving the Internet wholesale.
Note private data is now on alpha, it released last week.
I think the lexicon requirement certainly leads to a more polished look as you don’t have to worry about custom interactions across multiple platforms, interoperability is basically baked in (given it’s built to begin with).
It’s quite nice I’ve been working in it quite a lot. A lot of people here tend to get into the “my protocol is better” arguments but honestly both sides have the same ultimate goal, each has its quirks.
Note on the variety, a lot of these like Mu is re-using the bluesky lexicon so it’s effectively like a Mastadon Client. Same goes for Offprint, Leaflet, Pckt they all use the same Standard Site lexicon so they’re effectively clients with some frontend niceties built in and maybe their own features, but the core is the same.
Also my account here is actually atproto 👋
This may have been true last year but nowadays AI is far better and more thorough, and faster than 90% of devs when driven by someone knowledgeable.
100% I followed and tried to contribute to the NBA community quite a bit, but it was definitely tedious pulling highlight posts from reddit to post to to Lemmy constantly.
I ended up just botting it and have my own personal feed of highlights. It was also a bit odd because I would’ve loved to have botted it for the community but it’s a bit weird botting for a community you aren’t admin on.
I think the goal here is to get the general population off Discord and moved into a more open platform.
IRC is great but I can’t see the average user using it unfortunately. Every platform has its own goal, but the ultimate community goal is whatever pushes us to an open social space is a net positive imo!
