Continuing the discussion from New atproto community discord, where the outcome was, let’s ask current Touchers server owner and admins if we can upgrade / improve the server rather than start a new one.
This page is set up wiki mode, please make edits and suggestions directly.
@psingletary.com @trezy.codes @chaosgreml.in are volunteering to be new mods/admins to help implement and upgrade.
@bmann.ca would like to volunteer to step down from admin ![]()
Patak can help advise on setup and processes for making npmx a welcoming space. Might need some roles to help with this?
Onboarding
Rather than just the bot channel announcing new joiners, work on various onboarding pieces including active welcome as new people come in.
Generally make the space welcoming and invite people to participate.
Regional Groups
Make a regional groups category and setup channels for groups as needed. @psingletary.com has done airport codes, but perhaps just move to the names that the regions pick.
Working Groups
Have an established process to request working group categories and channels and people with permission to set up roles and hand them off to people that want to run them.
Announcements
Make an announcements channel and a role for who can publish here (e.g. bsky folks blessed to make some status announcements)
Network News
Make a channel where other atproto discords from different projects can have their announcement channels followed and posted into.
From Alex @ Bluesky (approved)
Would like to add Kapa AI Discord Bot and connect it into atproto.com to make discussions / links from Touchers available as part of the docs. See thread in Discord.
note: this feels like something that collectively admins and maybe more of Touchers members should weigh in on. Basically, the classic “who can decide to say yes to this”.
This got approved or rather a “no objections”.
