Just Some Feeds

Simple ATProto Feed is now Open Source: https://github.com/anianimals-moe/simple-feed

Hi, I am starting the process of closing the blueskyfeeds.com feed service in early July. I am having difficulty dealing with site outages, issues with the firehose, ballooning cloud operating costs, and blocking users trying to 'stress test' with feeds that store every post (you know who you are).

Sorry for the feeds being down. I just upgraded the database infrastructure, but the database indexes aren't being built properly, so it's too slow to serve feeds. Might be down for a few days while I optimize for the amount of data served.

Sorry for the disruption. Blueskyfeeds.com had about four hours of feed mixups while I was fixing an issue with mute words that ended up getting all posts jumbled. It should be fixed now, but if you're still having any issues, let me know. Mute word detection should actually work correctly now.

Waiting for usage to drop a little before upgrading the database. Database usage has been floating between 90-100% usage for the past week which was causing the crashes. This should make the service much more stable, but cost $20 more per month.

@pfrazee.com The new feed focused interface is nice and compact, but it's now much harder to find the feed's description, where feed devs put sticky information. - The feed dev's user contact - Event information (e.g. schedule links, or match times) - Keywords to get included in the feed

STICKY: The Only Following Feed is currently in Beta. It only shows posts made by users you follow without any posts or replies from users you don't. When you first open it, it gets your following list and starts listening for posts. Any posts & changes to your following list may take time to get.

Projects for this weekend: - Private feeds (for you or a managed list of users), I could probably randomize the name and description. - A Following-Only Feed, that only shows posts and replies between users you follow - More UI improvements (make keywords less confusing)
