a failure of sense making new book alert

"the crucial step in crisis engineering is to re-establish a common view which corresponds to reality – to restore sense-making. Once that step has been taken, actually solving the problem becomes a tractable task, and without it nothing is going to work" -- @dsquareddigest.bsky.social

Cosmik Updates: February 2026 February was a fun and a busy month, we launched some important new Semble features including collaborative collections, collection following and interoperability with Margin (an ATProto bookmarking a...

February updates for @cosmik.network & @semble.so !
Including @central.comind.network @funferall.bsky.social @uppy-hacker.bsky.social @tgoerke.bsky.social @o.simardcasanova.net @hacdias.com @bmann.ca @caleb.jasik.xyz @atproto.science

@semble.so is so cool idk how they have less than 300 followers

ATScience 2026 A full-day exploration of AT Protocol for science, education, and open knowledge. A side event to AtmosphereConf 2026 @ Vancouver, March 27, 2026

The agenda for #ATScience is up! Check out the speaker list and full schedule below 👇

The range and quality of proposals we received really exceeded our expectations - thanks to everyone who submitted something!

March 27, Vancouver - can't wait to see you there ✨

Sessions include >

Result flow chart showing 130 claimed experiments (colors: blue, green, purple, and gray).

📣 We’re building a new kind of infrastructure for scientific work, where ideas don't get lost, experiments get claimed and completed, and new researchers can hit the ground running. For 40 months, the @matsulab.com has piloted this approach. It's working!

What if *researchers* could reserve the rights to their research, not the journals?

Maybe with the help of @atproto.science ?

Following just dropped in Semble 🫳🎤 
You can follow other users *and* collections 🥂

What happened to Science Goodreads and how do we rebuild it? A 65 million dollar question (at least) - CAIROS Blog The story of the rise and fall of Mendeley

1/ Finally wrote up “The Story of Mendeley”! Most people know the tool, few know about its rise and fall. The Mendeley story provides important clues for how to build self-sustaining AND non-extractive knowledge commons, which is why I think it deserves more attention 🧵

I decided to start an open @semble.so collection to curate more examples/inspiration for "extreme citizen science": semble.so/profile/joel...

really putting the *collective* in collective intelligence

It was nice to work with the @cosmik.network team!

You can see your Semble cards and collections on Margin, and even use the Margin extension to bookmark and collect to Semble!

Try it out: margin.at

@margin.at interop just dropped in Semble 🤝

Your Margin bookmarks now show up directly on Semble ✅

The Atmosphere has no walled gardens 🌻

Happy cross-pollination 🐝

Cosmik January Updates Kicking off 2026! Co-organizing ATScience in Vancouver, launching CAIROS with Discourse Graphs, gearing up for MIRA workshop. 550 signups and 200+ users created cards on Semble. We added search, media...

One of our New Year’s resolutions was to start sharing monthly updates, so here’s one for January!

We’re very excited to have @smcgrath.phd present “Reigniting the Party: Lessons from a Stalled Migration to Bluesky” at #ATScience! The talk will detail an effort to migrate the @amia.org community to Bluesky. Scott will share lessons learned and outline revised strategies to rebuild the network! 🧪

“In a physical world of .. printed journals, bundling made sense. In a digital world, we are increasingly constrained by boundaries that no longer make sense. In a world of AI, what does the bundle prevent us from seeing?” 🎯

Great piece by @row1.ca on unbundling research into modular knowledge! >

Edit Collection modal dialog with fields for Name (Digital Places), Description (about a shared excavation of the web), Access Level (Open - Anyone can add), and Cancel/Save buttons

Coming soon - open collections 🌱

New AI science tool by Open AI openai.com/index/introd... - great motivation for why we need movements for open, community stewarded infra like @continuous.foundation @atproto.science @cairos.network rather than extractive data grabs by big platforms

Semble search is now live, adding a powerful discovery layer to Semble! Check it out at semble.so/search

Here’s what makes it different >

Knowledge is a'ssembling 🌱 @semble.so

Interop in action! 🤝

Books, videos, research, code, and more.

Whatever you’re in the mood for - you can now filter by media type!

Try it out: semble.so/explore

The projects list at atproto.science/projects/ is now using a @semble.so collection as data source 😎 So the page will update automatically when we add new projects to the collection, no need to edit any website html!

Yes! It will be so cool when people's "now reading" pages are on protocol (like www.ribbonfarm.com/now-reading/)

We’re excited to announce that @aaronstevenwhite.io will join us in Vancouver at #ATScience to present @chive.pub - a new project for decentralized preprints with ATProto 🚀

Check out the launch thread for more details:

"one book can significantly change the reader's attitude and action to an extent unmatched by the impact of any other medium" - still true! This is why sharing what we're all reading on open protocols is such a powerful part of collective sensemaking 💙

New tagline for Semble? 😁
"make your bookmarks atproto’s problem"

2025 was a big year for us: @semble.so went from concept to working product, with 150 users in 2 months, a public API, and the wonderful atproto community already helping us build into the Atmosphere. We also co-launched @atproto.science and @cairos.network. Here's our year in review and what's next
