      <description>&lt;h2 id=&#34;the-worlds-first-federated-app-store&#34;&gt;The world&amp;rsquo;s first federated app store&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;discover-new-apps&#34;&gt;Discover New Apps&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;AltStore is an app store designed for sideloading. Every app in AltStore gets a
beautifully generated store page with detailed information to make sideloading fun
and easy. Browse apps from trusted developers, or add additional &amp;ldquo;sources&amp;rdquo; to
further increase your options.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;self-published-apps&#34;&gt;Self-Published Apps&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyone can distribute their apps with AltStore. All you need is to make a “source”,
which you can do by hosting a text file with basic information about your apps.
Users can then enter your source URL in AltStore and your apps will automatically appear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Follow the complete &lt;a href=&#34;https://faq.altstore.io/developers/distribute-with-altstore-pal&#34;&gt;AltStore guide&lt;/a&gt; to create your own source and start distributing your apps in minutes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;federated-apps&#34;&gt;Federated Apps&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Developers can automatically federate their apps, app updates, and news alerts to the AltStore ActivityPub server &lt;a href=&#34;https://explore.alt.store/&#34;&gt;explore.alt.store&lt;/a&gt; for better discoverability, which are then bridged to the ATmosphere via &lt;a href=&#34;https://fed.brid.gy&#34;&gt;Bridgy Fed&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can view all likes on these from across the social web directly in AltStore, and connect their Mastodon or Bluesky accounts to like them in-app.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;demo&#34;&gt;Demo&lt;/h2&gt;

      <title>Bounce</title>

      <guid>https://connect.fediforum.org/open-social-web-services/bounce/</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bounce is an open social web migration tool. It lets you migrate your account from one decentralized social network to another, and still keep all of your followers, along with some of the people you follow.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;which-networks-are-supported&#34;&gt;Which networks are supported?&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bounce currently supports migrating from Bluesky to Mastodon or Pixelfed, and from Mastodon to Bluesky. We hope to add support for Threads, micro.blog, and more in the future.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;what-gets-migrated-exactly&#34;&gt;What gets migrated, exactly?&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Right now, only your profile, followers, and some follows. The existing posts on the accounts you migrate from and to will stay the same; only new posts going forward will get bridged back to the old account.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We hope to add support for migrating posts, likes, blocks, and other data eventually!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;how-does-it-work&#34;&gt;How does it work?&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When Bounce migrates you, it uses Bridgy Fed to bridge your new account back to your old network so that your followers there can still see you and your posts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For your follows, ie the people you follow, Bounce uses Bridgy Fed to detect which of them are already in your new network and following you over the bridge, and which are in your old network but are themselves bridged into the new one. It then reconnects all of those follows so that you still see and follow them after you migrate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Under the covers, Bounce uses each network&amp;rsquo;s built in support for account migration, eg ActivityPub&amp;rsquo;s Move activity for the fediverse, and AT Protocol&amp;rsquo;s account migration for Bluesky. Bounce migrates your old account into Bridgy Fed, so that it becomes a bridged version of your new account that&amp;rsquo;s fully owned and managed by Bridgy Fed.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Bridgy Fed is a decentralized social network bridge. It connects the fediverse, the web, and Bluesky. If you&amp;rsquo;re on one of these networks, you can use Bridgy Fed to follow people on other networks, see their posts, and reply and like and repost them. Likewise, they&amp;rsquo;ll be able to see you and your posts too. All interactions work both directions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I’ve been really impressed with how responsive the team is and how easy Fedica makes managing
all of the social media when our resources are already stretched thin. The platform just works
&amp;ndash; saves me a lot of time and hassle.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Graze totally changed how I run my feeds. I finally have insight into usage, plus monetization
has let me donate over $500 to developers building on Bluesky. Graze is truly Bluesky/ATProto&amp;rsquo;s
first killer app.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;cite&gt;Ændra, Verified News Feed Operator&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Graze gave us a way to experiment with our editorial approach and quickly learn what resonates
without relying on Twitter&amp;rsquo;s or Meta&amp;rsquo;s black box.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;cite&gt;Addison Nugent, Audience Editor at SF Standard&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Graze cleanly organized the content we want to highlight into streamlined feeds, making it so much
easier for our fans to find music, and directly support artists. Even when we&amp;rsquo;re disorganized,
Graze stays on top of things.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;cite&gt;J. Edward Keyes, Senior Editorial Lead @ Bandcamp&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
