page.cavu.graph.authorSubscription

Record declaring a subscription to an author — the sibling of site.standard.graph.subscription, which targets publications only. Following an author means wanting the books they have not written yet, so the subject is the author's DID rather than any record: a publication that does not exist yet cannot be referenced. One record per (reader, author) by convention: clients list their own repo and reuse the existing record rather than create a second (the same convention page.cavu.progress uses). The author DID makes records discoverable by backlink index (Microcosm/Constellation), so 'how many readers follow this author' needs no app-side database. The author identity is the repo DID that owns the publications, which is what an author page addresses; contributor names inside page.cavu.book are display metadata and are not subjects here. The key is a tid rather than the author's DID, which would otherwise be the obvious deterministic choice: a did:web carrying a port percent-encodes (did:web:example.com%3A3000) and '%' is not a legal record-key character.

  • site.standard.graph.subscription

    record

    Record declaring a subscription to a publication.

  • art.graphik.graph.followCreator

    record

    A reader following a creator — everything they publish, including a series they start tomorrow. Distinct from following one series.

  • site.mochott.graph.subscription

    record

    A subscription record in the social graph. Represents a user following a publication.

  • app.standard-reader.graph.follow

    record

    Follows another user (a DID, not a publication). Presence of the record means followed; deleting it unfollows. The rkey is derived from the subject DID so each followed user maps to a single record. A followed user's recommends and documents enrich the reader's home feed.

  • org.shelfcheck.author.follow

    record

    An author the user follows for new-release tracking on the authors view. Distinct from the social graph (app.bsky.graph.follow) — these are book authors, who may not have a Bluesky account.
