Streamplace v0.9.9 is live! Aside from a variety of bugfixes, we've completely revamped our Sign Up button and it now suggests, in randomized order: @selfhosted.social, @blackskyweb.xyz, @tophhie.social, and @bsky.app!

What are other open-access PDS providers we should include?

We're happy to give devs somewhere brand new identities on the atmosphere can be created if the user has never been on the atmosphere before!

Not all roads lead to Bluesky in the atmosphere. Sometimes it's to us, or other communities like @blackskyweb.xyz and @transrights.northsky.social.

Yes! That's the promise of the PDS, and we're a community hosted one. Also worth noting: if the user already has an account with Bluesky, they already have a PDS and login, so they do not have to create a brand new identity. They can just use that one. This is for brand new users to your app and..

You may also let them know they may already have an account on the atmosphere, especially if they found out about it via a Bluesky post.

There are also other great PDSs that do not require an invite code, like Blacksky at blacksky.app. Each PDS has their own T&S so best to review those first.

Create an account screen on the PDS

Create an account screen on the PDS

To do this you just pass the full PDS url prefixed with https, instead of a handle on oauth. This will give them a screen where they can create a new account, then redirect authenticated to your app.

On this page users can also review our T&S and privacy policy before they create the account

ATProto devs did you know you can use selfhosted.social for users to create brand new accounts on the atmosphere in your applications? Both deckbelcher.com and blento.app uses our PDS. A user's journey into the atmosphere does not always have to be started from Bluesky. It can start from your app.

You can now signup directly on blento.app without having to already have an atproto/bluesky account!

Powered by @selfhosted.social's PDS (thankfully didnt have to set up my own pds 🫢), pretty happy with the sign-up flow too 😊 from no account to created blento page in less than 1 minute!

I second this. If you are running a tap instance if you could please update to this. If you have heard me talking about @selfhosted.social's high CPU usage, it was this.

There was a bug where when a tap instance subscribed to a repo and the repo changed in any way, tap would download the whole repo

If I'm not mistaken it is changing the host behind bsky.network to the new one. So everything should work. I believe most troubleshooting will be a reboot of the PDS or request crawl once it is in place and switched over. Using debug.hose.cam will be helpful as well and want to see...

This is expected to happen tomorrow, and we do not expect any downtime when Bluesky PBC does the changeover.

Can keep an eye on our notice message at the top of selfhosted.social if anything changes and will send out modmail via email if there is an extended outage.

Dreams do come true. @selfhosted.social is now running on two PDS containers to spread the work across multiple node processes.

Bad news. It did not help with CPU usage being pegged at 70%. It is now 100%. I guess if you're going pay for something, use it all.

For that last one we would have to figure out some more details there.

Def welcome to send them our way! May just explain a bit what they're signing up, a PDS etc. But using the OAuth flow everyone has mention works and loads in the captcha for us so no invite code is needed, and T&S are listed there. Can also let me know about maybe doing handle endings in blento.app

settings -> account should be at the top there. If that looks good I can send you a test one. Could of also been on my side. That script may need a bit of a delay between sending each one
