hello this is my take on discourse:
i don’t think hiding atproto or keeping it out of normie’s view is right. you do have to meet people where they are though, which is why starting with “atproto…” is usually not the best idea (usually =/= always).
but atproto **is** a selling point and leaving it

Reading translations (Apple’s, which aren’t the best but easy to do) of the replies form Japanese users and wow 💖 Also, amused the requests for translate and edits still there.
Petition to ban all English replies to Bsky posts going forward. Especially the ones in this thread.

They want to know if you can break the servers so got look at ‘em folks. Few different topics based on various interests.
There’s a video feed in there + art feed — which I’ll be testing 😎

Seriously y'all, if you want to learn how to make feeds like this – going beyond hashtags or simple keyword searches, curating with purpose (informational or otherwise) – reach out.
Us feed builders love doing these things, but our time is limited and we need others' interested in learning!

midnight atproto idea: let us record our name / handle pronunciation so client apps can include them

Not seeing people you follow or want? Here's how to fix that.
1st - why aren't you seeing who you want? There's a few possible reasons:
1. Following feed has reposts/quotes/replies on
2. Some accounts you follow post frequently
3. You follow too many accounts
4. You're using the Discover feed
