The Community Archive is a community-owned dataset of contributed Twitter data used to study how ideas spread in online communities. We developed methods to extract "narrative strands" ? coherent lines of discourse where ideas evolve and build on each other over time. These techniques generalize directly to atproto datasets and could help Bluesky communities understand their own emerging canons.
