People could login using atproto before. Now web users can join the party. Users may link an existing atproto account, or have us manage one for them until they are ready to take over control.

New territory for us, so feedback is very welcome.

Your Identity, Your Events: How OpenMeet Gives Every User an AT Protocol Account The free, open-source alternative to Meetup. Create groups and events for your community — no fees, no ads, community-owned forever.

Yesterday we launched a new feature and now our existing web users can bring their own DID or we can be a temporary custodian of a new identity. Either way, now every user's PDS is the source of truth for public events and rsvps.

you can now Login with Bluesky to dandelion.events ☺️

pds.ls is now live!
pdsls.dev remains valid too

Now we're talking! I love it!

It turns on the connection between openmeet and atproto. If it is off, you can't publish events using this account. That setting will be going away in the next few weeks.

Nice job!

I see them on the firehose and pick them up: platform.openmeet.net/events/techn...

It was a bug in location handling... I think I've fixed it 😅. Your next one should work.

Draft events disable 'publish to ATProto' checkbox and can't re-enable · Issue #359 · OpenMeet-Team/openmeet-platform Summary When saving an event as a draft, the "Publish to ATProtocol" checkbox automatically gets unchecked and cannot be re-enabled afterwards. This makes drafts incompatible with ATProtocol functi...

will follow it up here github.com/OpenMeet-Tea..., and should get to it in the next week or so.

🫠 I'll look into it a bit later today. it's a bug for sure.

One of the events and rsvps are at pdsls.dev/at://did:plc... and the backlinks.

The other probably didn't have that second toggle set, which sounds like a UX bug to me. It defaults to off, but it should probably default on

We want to meet folks where they are, and right now, that's still email for many.

Do you have a list of things you're looking for? Would love to see it and put gaps on the roadmap.

Event and RSVP data lives on PDS (except when there's bugs). Groups are still in the works. For non-at users, that data lives in our community instance db.

Oh... that could be a bug or just bad UX, but let's figure it out.

- In settings, turn "use atproto as event source" ON.
- create a new event: toggle ON "publish to atproto".

Then the event will show in the PDS or its a bug.

I don't remember why we added the second toggle. Designers HALP me!

The first open meet Android mobile build. Shows the main landing screen.

We kind of have a mobile app. Just Android for now. Let me know if you're interested in iOS, especially if you want to build it.

@blueskydirectory.com Thanks for the service!

How does one edit a listing? I run a project in the coming soon section, but it's been open for awhile, and the listing could use an update in general.

Representing groups in ATProto I wanted to add book clubs to my GoodReads-like app (Collective), but ATProto doesn't have a standard way to handle shared group resources yet. So I'm building opensocial.community—a separate service ...

I wrote up a doc about what I'm thinking for opensocial.community and representing groups in #ATProto in case anyone has any thoughts or feedback on it!

Meetup 001 ⋅ 2025-11-06 The first of many joyful gatherings

First Boston regional ATProto meetup ✅

We want to meet folks where they are at, and are open to suggestions.

#ATprotocol users can use PDS storage for public events or our storage for private events. Other forms of login keep the data internally.

Groups aren't hooked into ATproto yet, just the event posting. RSVPs are 50% complete.

Thanks for the input. How important is this for you? Is it a common use case?

If you don't provide an email at login, then we'd prompt for one. I just need to go figure out how to do opt-in or out for oauth scopes.

Might take me a couple of weeks to get to it unless you tell me it's urgent.

I recently moved away from having folks enter an email address and started pulling email to save a step on entry.

Would having a primary/secondary email fulfill your needs, or is it important to not use your bsky email?
