We've added trending topics to our homepage to make it easier to see what people are discussing. More improvements coming to the homepage soon!

AT Explore @atexplore.social · 17/02/2026

New: We've added a simpler view to collection and record pages for those that just want to look at the data. This changes the scope of data that is fetched, so these views should be a little faster than the rich view.

Update 🚀: We've unified our search into a single input. Results across all types will now show in a single list, no more dropdown to select type.

AT Explore @atexplore.social · 06/02/2026

We've added support for replies on record pages. Now when you're viewing a post, you can see a threaded view of the conversation. This just works on Bluesky posts, but we'll expand this to more lexicons and ActivityPub posts.

A small update: ActivityPub profile pages for verified bridged accounts will now display a verified badge. We also recently added a new verification modal for users and handles.

We’re working on improving search by expanding the types of data you can search across. In addition to users, you can now search Lexicons! We plan to continue expanding search to include other types of data as well.

Small update: the Backlinks tab now has the same UX as the Collections tab. This makes browsing backlinks a bit easier.

A dark-themed interface displays a list of backlink sources with counts, including Bluesky (6), Leaflet (7), community.nooki (8), io.whiteside (30), sh.tangled (2), and store.lexicon (19), with a search bar and collapsible dropdowns. A small label at the bottom says “Built by whiteside.io.”

We've made it easier to view schemas Now when you open the menu on a post, you have an option to view schemas straight from a record! You can also click into any schema that is linked to it.

AT Explore @atexplore.social · 16/01/2026

A couple more new changes are now live! 🚀 - User's Collections are now sorted by identifiers so all the Bluesky, Leaflet, etc.. records will be sorted together. - The data view now has a better UX for viewing JSON. You can also easily copy the record data!

AT Explore @atexplore.social · 16/01/2026

We made a small change to the bridged profile switcher. Now when you click to switch to the bridged profile, you’ll see an explainer about @ap.brid.gy . You can permanently dismiss this message.

New Today 🚀: Profiles that have been bridged via @ap.brid.gy will now have a button allowing you to view their ActivityPub profile. ActivityPub profiles are currently in beta, and we plan to expand their functionality soon.

Backlinks are now live at the profile level! 🚀 It’s now easier to view records that link back to profiles. We’re working on bringing record-level backlinks next!

Screenshot of the AT Explore interface showing the “Backlinks (Beta)” tab. The screen lists sections titled “Follows,” “Blocks,” “List Memberships,” and “Post Mentions,” each displaying link and user counts. For example, “Follows” shows 183 links and 182 users, and “Blocks” shows 11 links and 11 users. The interface uses a dark theme with navigation tabs for “Collections,” “Identity,” and “Backlinks.”

022

AT Explore @atexplore.social · 23/10/2025

We've also made a slight change to the profile page, making it easier to copy did, handles, etc., and consolidated the document and PDS tabs into the Identity tab.

Support for Leaflet comments is now live! 🚀 We'll be adding support for a couple more Lexicons.

Screenshot of the AT Explore web app showing a comment thread between @leaflet.pub and @boosprout.writes.fyi. The interface includes dark mode styling with a search bar at the top and “See More” and “Built by whiteside.io” text at the bottom. The visible post is titled “thoughts on leaflet for fandom,” and @leaflet.pub replies with a detailed comment about tagging, expressivity, subpage support, and future plans for Leaflet.

AT Explore @atexplore.social · 29/09/2025

Today we’re enabling support for Leaflet posts on AT Explore 🚀 Until now, only official Bluesky records displayed in a more user-friendly way. Leaflet is the first non-Bluesky record type to get this treatment — with more custom lexicons to come.

A screenshot of a blog post by whiteside.io titled “Leaflet Testing and Launch, What’s Next for AT Explore.” It discusses wrapping up testing on Leaflet support, launching it on a beta environment, and fixing issues with rendering posts, especially Bluesky embeds. A nested social media post from John Whiteside mentions running into display issues and planning to release Leaflet support soon.
