Roomy

Roomy Events, by OpenMeet While Roomy is now quitely operational with a growing handful of pilot spaces, before we make a grander reveal about that particular milestone we have another exciting Report from the Atmosphere to sh...

Building in the atmosphere means you don't have to go it alone.

We know organizers, and the groups-of-coordination they facilitate, require digital infrastructure for events planning. Ergo @roomy.space needs Events.

@tompscanlan.bsky.social agreed and magicked @openmeet.net straight into Roomy.

It's been a pleasure to work with @zicklag.dev, @meri.garden and @erlend.sh on adding events to @roomy.space . We're just getting started! Feedback is already generating fixes and features.

just reviewed and merged four PRs for @roomy.space ☺️ super exciting!

hmu here or at roomy.space/roomy.space if you would like to as well and want some help or have questions 💕

We love it! 🥰

so proud and excited to share that I'll be presenting at #AtmosphereConf talking about @roomy.space, shifting communities from mobilising to organising, and how interoperability helps us build collective power ❤️‍🔥
can't wait to meet and hang out with many of you in person!

With @roomy.space every chat space could be on a different server, but doesn't has to be. It works a lot like an ATProto PDS!

Each space has a DID, and can be migrated to other hosting just like an ATProto account.

And you'll be able to seamlessly join different spaces on different servers.

Village-scale resilience The end-of-the-world already happened, it's just not evenly distributed. But with every end is a new beginning.

@roomy.space - our digital community garden for knowledge cultivation - has taken a long time to get right. Long enough that some people lost faith in us along the way, and that's fair. We'll try our best to earn it back.

Spare me a moment to reflect on *why* this thing needed to bake a bit longer.

🇪🇺🌐 The future of social media may be decided in Europe A survey of European AT Protocol projects, including 4 mini case-studies

Many Europeans want to be free of American and Chinese Big Tech apps.

Open, decentralized protocols like ActivityPub (powering Mastodon) and AT Protocol (powering Bluesky) may be the key to a new sovereign social media infrastructure.

@erlend.sh asked me to turn this sketch into v1 of a logo for @roomy.space. how did i do?

Heads up to anyone using @roomy.space!

We just moved the current version of Roomy and all of it's data to old.roomy.space in case you login and wonder where all your stuff went.

Self Hosting In Roomy An ultra quick outline of what self-hosting Roomy looks like.

Just threw together some quick notes on what self-hosting @roomy.space will look like.

It's fun because you've got options!

Any combination of it's three components can be self-hosted by anybody without isolating you at all from the wider network.

Finally submitted my proposal to present about @roomy.space for #ATmosphereConf 😎

We've been iterating on @roomy.space's event schema recently and one of the changes has been to make an ATProto lexicon for it. Here's are the work-in-progress lexicons for the curious:

These are auto-generated from the arktype.io types Roomy uses internally.

Owning group data Thinking about how communities can manage shared data on and off ATProto

local first vs atproto!! what should the source of truth for group data be?

I'm extremely excited about getting Roomy really working in the very near future.

It's been nearly a year since I threw together a wild experiment that let you log into a jerry rigged Matrix client with an ATProto account.

Right now the service endpoint is an HTTP server, and it uses socket.io for realtime communication.

BUT it's extremely feasible that in the future we could let you use an @iroh.computer ticket as a service endpoint and you could serve your Leaf space over a peer-to-peer network connection.

We already have an explorer app for Leaf that can be used to query from streams!

You can use it to send events too.

It's kind of like the excellent @pdsls.dev but for Leaf.

Here is the first event sent in a Roomy "personal stream".

You might notice it looks kind of like an XRPC call.

Nerds behold, the very first Leaf stream DID:

did:plc:tqd32oyrvfdkzh62zmk3tftv

Soon every space in @roomy.space shall have it's own Leaf stream with it's own DID.

Zeu Capua: Message Gardening in the Atmosphere with Roomy Chat ATmosphereConf Seattle 2025

As part of preparing for #ATmosphereConf in Vancouver March 2026, we're republishing the videos from Seattle March 2025, along with transcripts.

Here's @zeu.dev with Message Gardening in the Atmosphere with Roomy Chat (@roomy.space)

me and @zicklag.dev working on a bunch of stuff towards making @roomy.space more ATProto-y atm 😊 DIDs for spaces and lexicons for events ✌🏻

I'm happy to go with it for now without feeling like I'm going to regret it later.

Also, it's a DID, so at least there's some standardization and ability to swap it out with another method later if necessary.

PS: we're going to be using DID PLC for space identifiers in @roomy.space.

Leaf 0.3 - The Server Behind Roomy For the last couple months we've been iterating on Roomy with its brand-new architecture, and we're finally ready to talk in more detail about the not-so-secret sauce that will power Roomy moving forw...

I just finished a new blog post that talks about how @roomy.space's new server is going to work.

I explain where the data is stored, how we do authorization, how we preserve data ownership without the PDS, and more.

It's a big one!

Can We Bring Back Community? YouTube video by Andrewism

NEW VIDEO: Thanks to our anti-social social order, many people are struggling with a lack of community in their lives. I believe we can change that. Let's revisit the village of the past, then sketch out a radical vision for the future of community.

shoutout to @roomy.space for not using transition:generic! look how clean those oauth scopes are 🥹

We've been getting some great @roomy.space testing the last few days thanks to the people who have joined our early alpha sandbox space at roomy.space/roomy.space!

We're a little overdue for a solid explanation of how the latest version works, and that is coming soon.

Hello dear reader, are you by any chance familiar with #tauri on #f-droid or with #gradle in general?
