# 0022 — View records on mu.social, not bsky.app
2
+
3
+
## Context
4
+
5
+
SkyPress publishes to the Bluesky/atproto network, but it also links readers out to
6
+
an AppView to *view* profiles, posts, and hashtags. Those links pointed at `bsky.app`
7
+
and were marked with the Bluesky butterfly.
8
+
9
+
## Decision
10
+
11
+
- View-links (author profile, bio mentions/hashtags, editor-inserted mentions, post
12
+
"view" links, sign-in account creation) point at `mu.social`, a Bluesky AppView with
13
+
the same `/profile`, `/profile/<did>/post/<rkey>`, and `/hashtag` path scheme.
14
+
- The host lives in one place: `src/lib/social/atmosphere-url.ts`.
15
+
- Link labels/aria say "the ATmosphere". Network/protocol copy ("creates a public
16
+
Bluesky post", `app.bsky.feed.post`) stays "Bluesky" — it describes the real network.
17
+
- The butterfly icon is replaced by the 🌀 emoji.
18
+
- `public.api.bsky.app` API calls are unchanged — mu.social does not serve that data API.
19
+
20
+
## Consequences
21
+
22
+
- `src/lib/publish/mentions.ts` `PROFILE_RE` accepts both `bsky.app` and `mu.social`, so
23
+
mentions in drafts saved before this change still get cc'd on the companion post.
24
+
- Already-published articles keep the `bsky.app` mention links stored in their content;
25
+
only newly authored mentions use `mu.social`.
26
+
- Changing the AppView again is a one-line edit to `ATMOSPHERE_WEB_BASE`.
