Sifa Docs

Sifa ID is a professional network on AT Protocol. Your profile is portable. Your data sits on a Personal Data Server that you can move. Your reputation is the work you publish, not a score that we invent.

This site covers the parts of Sifa that do not fit inside the app.

Getting started

• Create a Sifa account: sign in with an existing Atmosphere account, or set one up
• Import from LinkedIn: bring your positions, education, and skills across
• Import talks and sessions: add your talks and the events where you gave them from two CSV files
• Use your own domain as your username: swap alice.bsky.social for alice.com

Atmosphere basics

If Sifa is your first Atmosphere app:

• What is the Atmosphere?: the open network of apps that share one account
• DIDs, usernames, and providers: the three parts of every Atmosphere account
• Apps, AppViews, and the firehose: how the same data shows up in multiple apps
• Your data on a provider: where Sifa records actually live, and how to look at them
• Lexicons and integrations: the open schemas that hold it all together

Features

• Activity feed: what shows up on your profile and why
• Atom feeds: subscribe to a Sifa profile from any feed reader, no account needed
• External accounts: link your blog, GitHub, ORCID, and other profiles
• Standard.site cards: make your own site render as a rich card on Sifa, Bluesky, and other AT Protocol apps

Account management

• Move your account to another provider: keep your followers, your posts, and your Sifa records
• Privacy and data: what is public, what is private, and what stays when you leave

Is Sifa ID a LinkedIn replacement?

We do not want to replace LinkedIn. We want to make it obsolete.

Sifa ID starts with a profile that you know: your work history, your skills, and your projects. Then it adds proof. The people that you worked with can confirm and endorse what you did. Other people can then trust your profile, and they do not have to take your word for it.
