    Whether it soon becomes possible to self host an AppView, the one remaining centralized component will tell us a lot about where it’s headed.

      There are already smaller appviews that use the existing hosting/authentication infra, but bypassing the bsky appview aggregation. Nothing with any real scale but for example there is a barebones reddit/hackernews equivalent https://frontpage.fyi/

        That’s interesting. This post had suggested it isn’t yet possible to host an AppView. It seems the reality is more complex.
