@byarielm.fyi seems to always know of every project lol

My mistake, I'm not sure how I could have overlooked this. Adding to the trello board.

Particularly their event lexicon. I wish I knew about this before we started lol.

Anyway, there's some neat tools for feedmakers on the app you'll discover too.

The primary use case we had in mind is making local custom feeds.

We also shadow label your account with our custom labeler. This means even during an outage, user location data stays up. This also offers y'all another way to use location info. I'm also exploring @lexicon.community. We need this.

If you login, more features are also available, like mutuals, and event creation.

Currently, when you add yourself to a location, we save that in our database, which we use for our AT proto proxy (at://did:web:lists.fema.monster/app.bsky.graph.list/US-OR-Portland)

Use these lists for anything!

There's two ways to add a location. Click "add" and you'll be directed to bluesky to send a command. Since the command comes from your logged in account, that's how we verify you. Our bot will do the rest.

Or you can login to our app and just do things directly.

Set your location and view your mutuals!

Easily create custom local feeds on @graze.social (well, the user base needs to grow for the true potential!)

View live posts in your city on an interactive map!

Create events!

And more! BETA. 🧵

If only local media outlets got as excited about stuff like this as they do abt e-scooter injuries

And the streetcar is electric.

Denizens of Bluesky, residents of #Portland / #PDX, your attention, please.

A really good friend who moved to Portland and rented a place there needs help REAL SOON.

Any ideas and/or resources and/or help and/or ANYTHING? Please reply in the quoted post below. *Thank you.*

yeah I got one of these too, well a cheaper no name brand, and it's worked great haven't come across anything it can't do yet.

@byarielm.fyi the appliance gods must just hate you

This is brilliant. Love that you setup a labeler to verify accounts. It's nice to see creators build these systems and benefit.

i call top bunk

i love my mom but im not moving back in ever. are u kidding me i have all this freedom, my own money, responsibility...actually no that kinda sucks. and my ass is broke too

eh fuck it this is a good plan

Illustration of the kid from chicago with his fist pulled back about to punch another kid for chanting he supports ICE and law enforcement. He's wearing glasses, a hoodie and backpack with a yellow background.

dunno who the artist is but thank you this is exactly what this legend deserves

the term originated from design of physical objects and systems, but it applies to the internet as well! #UniversalDesign #DisabiityJustice

The world would be a better place if we had more of this.

Yeah, I need to disconnect too. I always have something I'm working on but I need to do this soo.

Sewing is cool I always wanted to learn and make my own clothes.

I'm required to share all flare references.

Speed limiters for cars do not necessarily mean more surveillance

but for the record it is literally inhumane to think a three ton lethal metal box deserves more privacy about its location than a human tapping into a transit system

I had a knee replacement so I can't walk on the ice. Which means I can't hit the beg button. Which means I can't cross the street

@arlingtondes.bsky.social - we should turn beg buttons off (Ie have ped signals automatically come on) until the beg buttons are accessible

We simply look at what you like, your mutuals, and then we re-sort the posts that match U+ logic.

Anyway, the idea is not to replace, it's just to offer something in addition to :)

Yeah, U+ Live, Trending, News, will always operate like that. I love that purity too.

That said, the algo we'll be using for U+ FYP is vastly different than the algos you're avoiding. It's more like collaborative filtering. Specific content isn't prioritized, rage bait isn't favored, etc.

okie! do ittt

this is stupid cool! It's got me on Urban Planning and Alternative Transportation Advocates. Yep!

How'd it go? Very cool to see this!

I want to sincerely thank @graze.social for hosting my #SBLX feed today as well as @bsky.app's team for giving access to the new "Live" feature.

On no other platform can a community member build the algorithm for an event as big as the Super Bowl, so to be a part of this moment feels truly special.

It's time...

#BenitoBowl

Gametime baby! We're thrilled to support @richferro.com in running the Superbowl LX feed on @bsky.app today! But wait, there's more! 🧵

i get more enjoyment out of these people when they're trying to maga rap so this amuses me less
