Hi! SkyFeed is struggling and I need to find a solution. If you don't know SkyFeed, it's a service I built 2 years ago, enabling anyone to build and publish feeds using a visual block-based editor. SkyFeed is still hosting the most feeds on Bluesky, but that comes at a cost [1/X]

All SkyFeed feeds are now back online, thanks for your patience! The feed generator backend is now serving 120 feed requests/second :O New posts might still be a bit delayed, please reply to this post if your feed is having other issues.

Hey SkyFeed users, new posts won't appear in your feeds for the next 1 to 3 hours because I switched the indexer to the new federated bsky.network BGS, and it still needs to catch up on the last three days' worth of posts, likes and so on! Thanks for your patience.

✨ The 𝙇𝙞𝙨𝙩 𝘼𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙩 is now live on skyfeed.app ✨ You can use it to create lists based on RegEx matching display names, handles and the full profile description. This feature is still highly experimental, so please be careful and report any issues and bugs you might encounter here in this thread!

SkyFeed List Architect, first experimental version launching tomorrow! Works for both curation and mute lists 👀

Update: Everything is back online!

OnlyPosts, Mutuals and some other feeds are currently down due to a corrupted database. All SkyFeed Builder feeds are still online. Trying to fix this asap!

✨ SkyFeed v0.9.0 ✨ • The sidebar is now collapsible and shows a list of trending hashtags • You can now create multiple workspaces/decks and quickly switch between them • Full hashtag support with feeds for every existing hashtag (sorted by New, Hot, Rising, Top or Random) → skyfeed.app

✨ New personalized Feed: Liked by Follows ✨ It contains posts liked in the last 10 hours by users you follow. However, the more posts someone has liked, the less their likes are worth. So the feed might highlight interesting posts by users who don't use Bluesky that much yet :)

🛠️ Builder Update 🛠️ • RegEx search now supports alt text and links • Remove by reply/repost count • Remove list of users • Stash+Pop blocks for more advanced feeds • Remove duplicates • List Input: set timeframe • Debug info: result counts • Performance optimizations! Try it on https://skyfeed.app

The SkyFeed Builder query engine is now open-source 🛠️ Written in Rust and powers all of the 645+ feeds you already published! The engine has been pretty reliable, the recent outages were caused by the custom caching proxy. https://github.com/skyfeed-dev/query-engine

SkyFeed Status Page: https://status.skyfeed.xyz/ If this is the only post you see in a custom feed, SkyFeed is down. If I'm not asleep, it should be back online in about 15 minutes!

Hey everyone, the bsky firehose (API) is still catching up after the outage, so you might not see new posts on SkyFeed feeds for the next few hours. In other news, a rewritten version of the SkyFeed query engine in Rust is almost ready, so big performance improvements coming early next week!

🛠️ Builder Update 🛠️ You can now filter by like count and remove non-hellthread posts using the "Remove" block! More improvements: show query timings, detect if name is too long, better error messages, mobile support, unpublish feeds, explain RegEx block, list picker Try it on https://skyfeed.app

🛠️ Introducing the SkyFeed Builder 🛠️ Easily build powerful custom feeds using simple blocks and a full preview of the feed. When you're ready, you can publish the feed on your account for anyone to use, even in the official app! Available now on https://skyfeed.app/

Coming soon: Build powerful custom feeds directly in the SkyFeed app 🛠️ These feeds can be published on your personal account and used by anyone, even in the official app!

All @skyfeed.xyz queries/algorithms are now open-source: https://skyfeed.xyz/queries You can run them yourself with an instance of the SkyFeed Indexer (https://github.com/skyfeed-dev/indexer). Algorithmic transparency is important, especially for more complex feeds like "Discover".

All feeds should be back online now, thanks for your patience.

Hey everyone, most @skyfeed.xyz feeds are down right now. Sorry about that, I'll try to fix it asap.

🧭 Introducing the Discover Feed 🧭 This feed uses a more complex personalized algorithm to find posts you might enjoy based on your previous likes. Of course transparency with feeds like this is really important, so check out the reply below if you want to learn about how exactly it works!

Introducing the Feed of Feeds! It's a feed to find new feeds, see people talking about feeds and posting their new feeds. You could also call it a Feed Feed. https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:tenurhgjptubkk5zf5qhi3og/feed/feed-of-feeds

Introducing the OnlyPosts feed! It's just like the default "Following" timeline, but without reposts and replies to reduce noise. https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:tenurhgjptubkk5zf5qhi3og/feed/only-posts

A lot of people are posting really cool ideas for custom feeds, but it's hard to find and keep track of them. So I think picking a hashtag for users to post feed requests/suggestions would be useful. How about #FeedRequest ?

🗻 Introducing the Week Peak Feed 🗻 It features the most popular posts from the last 7 days! (Currently only the last 4 days are indexed, but in 3 days we'll be up to date) https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:tenurhgjptubkk5zf5qhi3og/feed/catch-up-weekly

The Sky Feeds feed generator is now hosted in Ashburn (Virginia) with Hetzner. The bsky.social servers are running in the same city, so latency is down to 5 milliseconds! Most feeds should now load instantly 🚀

If you already tried the "Mutuals" custom feed, you may have noticed that it can take 2-3 seconds to load. I'm switching the infrastructure to a new database today which should significantly improve load times and also enable some interesting new custom feeds!

Introducing SkyFeed v0.4.4 • brand new Discover page with instant search for all custom feeds on the network • save/unsave/pin/unpin feeds you like (syncs with the official app) • show feeds published by user on profile page • support custom feed embeds • like custom feeds ⇒ https://skyfeed.app

The official Bluesky application will be updated very soon with support for custom feeds! Anyone will be able to publish these feeds and this account (@skyfeed.xyz) already has some for testing purposes. There's also @skyfeed.app which is an unofficial client that already supports custom feeds!

Brooooo

if you want to try the new feeds *now* even the new, much improved what's hot, the `custom-algos` branch of the official app works now without any tweaks you can go to @bsky.app and @skyfeed.xyz to subscribe to them and then pin them https://github.com/bluesky-social/social-app/tree/custom-algos

Hi Bluesky! Check out my custom feeds :)
