my favorite new Atmosphere site gotta be @semble.so. Curate collections of essays, articles, social media posts, and images, and then share them with other people. Great for pointing people towards your favorite writing on any topic, or a references list for your latest essay.

If you're familiar with The Atmosphere, you already know how to get one, and this should hopefully help you explain it to others.
For those of you who aren't, you'll be surprised to know you already have one; here's how you use it:

Very cool @atproto.science project!
🧵 Went to an ATProto meetup, got inspired, built a thing! octosphere.social is an experimental bridge between www.octopus.ac and that ATProto network, turning your Octopus research into distributed records that others can react to, respond to and build on.
