So I’m working on a kind of PDS or relay for Pixelfed servers to discover trending content and help fill new instance timelines and profile suggestions!
It will be based on content from and discovered by pixelfed.social, however I’ll be open sourcing the PDS (Pixelfed Discovery Server) so you can run your own for yourself or others
It will be easy and intuitive, I hope to add more features to it later on, lots of potential ✨
Manton from Micro.blog intends to enable the service as an ATProtocol PDS:
The long-term plan for Micro.blog is to fully support AT’s PDS — Personal Data Servers. Any blog hosted on Micro.blog would plug into Bluesky seamlessly, with data portable to other AT Protocol hosting providers.
"ActivityPub and ATProto break #siloing in different ways. #ActivityPub is built around URLs and can "socialise" more or less anything on the Web, which is great, but they don't touch the underlying substrate—either you run your own server or you…are at the mercy of an admin. #ATProto, on its side, provides a good initial foundation for an extensible #PDS designed around user agency and credible exit.
…you can be guaranteed to be able to take your content elsewhere." https://berjon.com/ap-at/
