Great call-out - @surf.social is another really good example of custom feed curation for the open social web that surpasses the "Dear Algo" feature

Meanwhile, on Bluesky, Blacksky, and the rest of the Atmosphere, you can just go to @graze.social, prompt for different feeds, and generate custom feeds for specific interests instead of playing algorithm roulette with a single feed. Then, you can share it with others so they can enjoy it as well.
Threads’ new ‘Dear Algo’ feature lets you tell the algorithm what you want to see

we just rolled out an experimental integration with @germnetwork.com, an E2E encrypted chat app that integrates with atproto.
Germ users can add a button to their profile so others can message them from Bluesky.
we're exploring ways to connect your profile with other apps in the Atmosphere.

The cool thing about atproto layered with @standard.site is that if a Substack competitor on the protocol like @leaflet.pub goes down, you can just write and publish on another one like @pckt.blog @offprint.app or @greengale.app, and your subscribers will receive it regardless
substack is down, quick, make a @leaflet.pub blog & never look back!

New: recommend posts in Leaflet!
Hit the heart in post header/footer to ~recommend~
💚💛💙💜🧡❤️
Yes, it's basically a "like" button, but we call it "recommend" because that's what it's for ✨😍➕
You can turn off for a publication, or per-post if you like. Soon we'll use to improve Leaflet Reader too!

I really love "people over platforms". The world is in turmoil, to say the least. Social media is something many use for news, friends, or as an escape from the world. You should feel safe and comfortable using it. And that's something I think I can help provide to the ecosystem and I have tried to.
