Thanks for the feedback. Noted and will factor that into the roadmap as soon as we can.

Users asked for user <-> admin comms without exposing email, this is a minimal implementation. On the OpenMeet group page as an admin, click the "manage group" button and there is a "send message to members." Select the member(s) you want and type a response to send them an email.

Yes, it's a version of permissioned data. Public events/RSVPs are kept on PDS, other data is centralized. We'll adopt what emerges as standards, but are filling in gaps now. Any concerns?

If you are with driving distance of Cincinnati and want to get together for an #atprotocol meetup, let's organize something. Suggest a venue for around noon-4pm time for food and lingering. Would the week of April 13 or May 4 work?

Do you need to run a PDS, PLC, Jetstream or TAP for development and testing of your #ATprotocol app? A couple of us needed it for independent projects and we try to DRY so first pass is at github.com/OpenMeet-Tea... How are you managing that stack for your project?

Good bot. Add one more.... at least one operator is using sqlite to gather application level metrics. Adding that endpoint would be ideal.

What do people do to monitor the Bsky PDS they host? There doesn't seem to be any exporting of service metrics. Was that a design decision or just delayed?

OpenMeet Team @openmeet.net · 07/02/2026
People could login using atproto before. Now web users can join the party. Users may link an existing atproto account, or have us manage one for them until they are ready to take over control. New territory for us, so feedback is very welcome.

Yesterday we launched a new feature and now our existing web users can bring their own DID or we can be a temporary custodian of a new identity. Either way, now every user's PDS is the source of truth for public events and rsvps. openmeet.net/your-identit... #ATprotocol

It turns on the connection between openmeet and atproto. If it is off, you can't publish events using this account. That setting will be going away in the next few weeks.

One of the events and rsvps are at pdsls.dev/at://did:plc... and the backlinks. The other probably didn't have that second toggle set, which sounds like a UX bug to me. It defaults to off, but it should probably default on

Event and RSVP data lives on PDS (except when there's bugs). Groups are still in the works. For non-at users, that data lives in our community instance db.

OpenMeet Team @openmeet.net · 12/01/2026
Oh... that could be a bug or just bad UX, but let's figure it out. - In settings, turn "use atproto as event source" ON. - create a new event: toggle ON "publish to atproto". Then the event will show in the PDS or its a bug. I don't remember why we added the second toggle. Designers HALP me!

We want to meet folks where they are at, and are open to suggestions. #ATprotocol users can use PDS storage for public events or our storage for private events. Other forms of login keep the data internally. Groups aren't hooked into ATproto yet, just the event posting. RSVPs are 50% complete.

Thanks for the input. How important is this for you? Is it a common use case? If you don't provide an email at login, then we'd prompt for one. I just need to go figure out how to do opt-in or out for oauth scopes. Might take me a couple of weeks to get to it unless you tell me it's urgent.

I recently moved away from having folks enter an email address and started pulling email to save a step on entry. Would having a primary/secondary email fulfill your needs, or is it important to not use your bsky email?
