Semble: Rediscovering the Magic of TrailsGreat Hall South · Conference Day #1

The early web was full of trails: open paths that led to serendipitous discovery. Web2 platforms paved them over with superhighways built to extract your attention. Semble is bringing the trails back, turning everyday browsing into collective mapping, where every connection you make becomes a trail-marker that helps others navigate the open web. Built on atproto, because open trails belong on open, interoperable and collectively stewarded infrastructure.

Who owns the group chat? Building collaborative spaces on ATProto
10:30 AM - 11:00 AM
Traditional social platforms centralize control of community spaces—the platform owns your group, your members, and your data. On ATProto, ownership, governance, and moderation become explicit design decisions. This talk explores building shared resources on a decentralized protocol—from data synchronization to governance models—drawing from real experience building community features and examples from other ATProto apps.
