- pretty damn close to a 100% top-to-bottom bluesky-free bluesky ✅ indie pds (lots) ✅ indie relay (mine + others now!) ✅ indie jetstream (mine + many more (optional)) 🌀 indie appview (AppViewLite has some issues, @futur.blue's should work, more in progress) ✅ indie client (@aviva.gay's deer.social !)
- alright the work is cut out AppViewLite's own web view works really well, but i can't get very far using its XRPC endpoints. seems like deer was doing everything right though!
- atproto is funny. all of this has been really doable for a while. even without sync1.1, non-archival relays were cheap. imo the low barrier to pds self-hosting is *the* underrated atproto quality. the rest just needs to be possible. wild how much perception about it shifted toward "impossible".
- hell yeah @edavis.dev did it!!!!!!!!!
- pretty cool: deer.social configured to point to a self-hosted bsky appview which reads from a self-hosted relay which subscribes to a self-hosted PDS which is where this "hello world" post originated it's bluesky independent from bluesky
- lil update
- FOLKS WE DID IT ✅ I'm typing this on @aviva.gay's deer.social ✅ which posted to @alnkq.bsky.social's AppViewLite ✅ which is listening to the @blacksky.app atproto.africa relay
- I just went through all the missing XRPC methods required to login or view the timeline and implemented them (or stubbed them). Now it should be possible to use social-app on top of AppViewLite.
- amazing. legend. i might not get back to this until tomorrow but i’m excited to render a timeline on deer with zero bsky infra!!!
- Is there independent did:plc infrastructure? I remember hearing that the PLC index would be a tough part to decentralize. Forgive me if the question doesn’t make sense, I’m not super familiar with all the ATProto details.
- no. did:web exists but is a cop-out answer heh. mirrors exist but can only mirror. the future of did:plc is for it to be spun out to an independent org with multi-party governance, at least this is bluesky’s current stated intent iirc.
- @futur.blue wait what's the progress on yours?
