       There aren't that many entries on here because I have more in the old Logseq notes with [github](https://notes.bmannconsulting.com/#/page/github) and [git](https://notes.bmannconsulting.com/#/page/git) properties.

The "signal" of me adding a notes page is stronger than "merely" starring on Github, but it should at least contribute to a personal search index (which again leads into [[Community Search Engines]] too).

       6
       +
       [[Bluesky]] already has built in support for [[Bluesky#Custom Feeds|custom feeds]]. Could this be used to create premium content feeds?

     

       7
       +
       

     

       8
       +
       This could look like subscribers-only content, but available and readable directly within Bluesky or any [[ATProtocol]] that supports custom feeds.

     

       9
       +
       

     

       10
       +
       This is most relevant for a kind of ATProtocol-based "subscribe to my blog or newsletter" integration -- [[Substack]] or [[Ghost]] being two common paid subscriber platforms.

     

       11
       +
       

     

       12
       +
       I'll use Ghost as my example.

     

       13
       +
       

     

       14
       +
       - The "My Cool Ghost Site" has both free and paid memberships; some content is available to all members -- sent via email, in RSS, and posted to the blog

     

       15
       +
       - Paid members get access to premium content -- they get it sent via email and/or can login to the Ghost blog to read it

     

       16
       +
       - assuming Ghost / a custom plugin has a feature to link your Ghost membership with your Bluesky login

     

       17
       +
       - The plugin would also generate endpoints for a Bluesky compatible custom feed

     

       18
       +
       - The algorithm is pretty simple here -- if the currently logged in user is a paid member, show them free and premium content; else, only show free content

     

       19
       +
       

     

       20
       +
       Right now all content is public on Bluesky, so you could still fetch the content / navigate to it. In fact, can you generate posts in a custom feed??? Or does it first have to be posted to an account, so that it could be included?

       Maybe something with blocks? Have a free Bluesky account,  `@my-cool-ghost-site.com`, and a premium one, `@members.my-cool-ghost-site.com`. When someone adds the custom feed, if they aren't a paid member, block them.

     

       23
       +
       

     

       24
       +
       Blocking everyone on Bluesky (pre-emptively!) except for subscribers is not really a great method. This is probably another area where a Lexicon that supports premium content could be used.

     

       25

       26

       And, this might just be way easier to implement by adding [[Open Frames for Bluesky]].

       I guess John O'Nolan has a cross poster, since he [posted the same thing to Bluesky](https://bsky.app/profile/bmann.ca/post/3kqlzleitr223). Would my answer be different for [[ATProtocol]]?
