I know it’s not technically polite, but I love having a conversation with other people who are comfortable with short interjecting interruptions. To me it makes the conversation feel more like something we’re weaving together rather than alternating individual presentations. It feels more alive.

Yep right now all lives from Streamplace are in the LIVE NOW playlist.

I still need to get lives in to the algorithm so that we can show them more like how TikTok does!

FWIW just getting indexing, backfilling, and querying with a cursor would be a huge W.

Also two weird use cases I’m hoping to cover for Skylight are:
1. Likes of Video Feed Generators
2. Videos by a given hashtag

Hopefully that helps

This might be out of scope but the ability to add other data that isn’t stored on the PDS.

For example, we have the data for which videos people have seen but trying to join those has been a pain.

But I’ll take what I can get — I keep shooting myself in the foot while building this

That sounds so strange! If you don’t mind could you record your screen for me? (You can send it as a DM)

Just seeing how the issues happen might give me a real clear picture of what’s causing your problems!

I’ll look in to it! Is this happening with this account? Is this happening consistently or inconsistently?

Yeah and we filter all the same stuff as Bluesky but even on here NSFW videos sneak in.

So video is a little trickier and we’re still experimenting with what works best for filtering out NSFW videos!

The scrolling issue is a bug and it’s near the top of my list for this week!

We’re always trying to stay ahead of the NSFW content so it doesn’t end up in your feed.

Last night I added an additional filter which catches a lot of the posts that were slipping through the cracks!

In social media, the nth-order side effects are the real feature.

What!? This is awesome!

Streamplace @stream.place · 1d

PROJECT ANNOUNCEMENT: Streamplace is building a unified AT Protocol code generation tool! It eats lexicons and creates code in a variety of languages, as well as documentation.

To lead this project, who better than the creator of @pdsls.dev, @juli.ee!

I think I fixed this upload size bug that was effecting longer videos.

If I did this right, it should also improve upload quality!

Tynan Purdy @tynanpurdy.com · 2d

@reedharmeyer.bsky.social yo I recorded an almost full length video in skylight (first time posting) and get this error when trying to publish

That’s the bug I’m working on tonight!

@danabra.mov inspired me to get GraphQL working with @slices.network aaaand it's pretty rad. Slices will generate query interfaces based on your Slices' lexicon and you can join on did/ref/uri. Here's a remix on Dan's teal demo using the entire @teal.fm dataset. slices-teal-relay.bigmoves.deno.net

BONUS: you could conceivably use Isograph to configure @slices.network

All Lexicons
-> Big GraphQL schema
-> Queries
-> Small GraphQL schema
-> Relevant Lexicons
-> Slices schema

Your backend updates to reflect your front end code at build time.

@danabra.mov sounds pretty good right?

Reed Harmeyer @reedharmeyer.bsky.social · 5d

@statisticsftw.bsky.social remember when I said we couldn’t query atproto with GraphQL?

Well @slices.network might have just changed that!

I’d use Isograph in a heartbeat with atproto.

I wonder why @bsky-lexicons.bsky.social is the one that has the 'app.bsky' lexicon records and not @bsky.app (or a subdomain)

It seems like that would've been a good way to distribute lexicons...

@slices.network looks so cool. This is exactly what I wish we had when we started @skylight.social
