Dandelion events platform, started publishing to atproto

Dandelion aims to be the best place to find and host soulful · regenerative · metamodern · participatory · conscious · transformative · holistic · ethical events and co-created gatherings.

It’s fully donation-based, made by a not-for-profit worker co-operative and open source (Ruby/Mongo).

Dandelion is already the UK’s most popular alternative events platform and last year was used by more than 500 organisations to sell close to 50,000 tickets worth £2.5m+.

Yesterday we started publishing events to atproto:

Looking forward to deepening our integration over time :smiling_face:

Next up is logins using GitHub - lasercatspro/omniauth-atproto: An omniauth strategy for atproto

Absolutely thrilled with how quickly you’re picking up what atproto is putting out @stephenreid.net :hugs: Having a platform as well established as yours plugging itself into the Atmosphere is a huge success story for everyone involved.

That’s due for an update, since atproto-oauth got a pretty major overhaul in 2025.

Welcome @stephenreid.net

Super cool to see what you’re doing. Exactly what we imagined with community lexicon for events and location, and great to see the UK map on Smoke Signal starting to fill out!

Are you going to fix the new-event-per-edit soon? Is your code open source / can others PR against it? Where do you want feature requests?

As I mentioned to a couple of people on Bluesky, there isn’t a issue with edits- we already use putObject. It’s just that people sometimes create several events with the same name on different dates. If Smoke Signal showed the date alongside the name this would be clear, so maybe I’ll submit a PR there :smiling_face:

Yes Dandelion is open source and PRs/feature requests are welcome on our GitHub GitHub - symbiota-coop/dandelion
