This feed is hosted by 🦜 @skyfeed.eu, not 🦋 Bluesky. We host 90,000+ custom feeds, but subscriptions don't yet cover our hosting costs: skyfeed.eu/sustainability If this feed is useful to you, consider supporting SkyFeed with a sub for 5€/month. It helps fund hosting and keeps the feeds running.

If you are subscribed to SkyFeed Pro (skyfeed.eu), your published SkyFeed feeds now refresh more often! New posts should usually appear in 30 to 90 seconds and I'm working on making that significantly faster soon, with most of the performance improvements also coming to all free feeds.

Since a few people asked: your existing feeds are not affected by any of this. They keep running exactly as they are, for free, and you can continue building however many you want :) skyfeed.eu is only where your account, the sub and stats live. Feeds don't "move" anywhere, it just pays their bills

All feeds you published with SkyFeed will continue working just fine, you don't need to do anything! When the new feed builder UI launches on skyfeed.eu, migrating feeds to it will be an active decision for each one and you can always just stay on the old builder.

The past weeks went into the foundation too: I just finished moving all infra to the EU and if you happen to use a EU-hosted AppView you can now view SkyFeed feeds with no traffic leaving the EU 🇪🇺 Also, thanks for your patience during the flaky cutover phase.

The new feed engine is also still in the works and taking longer than I'd like. Near real-time feed updates will be part of Pro, because they cost real server load. Longer history for more feed types like regex ones, new query types, new blocks and the new builder UI stay free.

Some things that won't change either way: - no ads on SkyFeed, ever. They go against the ethos of algorithmic choice - nothing that's free today moves behind the paywall - the entire backend stays open source - GitHub Sponsors stay, see next post

To the people sponsoring me on GitHub: thank you, you helped keep SkyFeed alive so far. GitHub Sponsors is still the most direct way to support me, but it does not handle VAT, which is the main reason I couldn't offer actual features through it and why skyfeed.eu uses a different one

SkyFeed Pro is 5€/month and gets you Feed Stats: hourly request counts for feeds you published. They count requests, never people. Today, a sub mainly helps pay SkyFeed's hosting bill, but since I'm the only person working on it, that buys me the time and stability I need to build new features.

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]

SkyFeed reposted

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!

redsolver@redsolver.dev

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

SkyFeed reposted

Update: Everything is back online!

redsolver@redsolver.dev

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

SkyFeed reposted

✨ 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 :)

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!

SkyFeed reposted

🛠️ 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/

SkyFeed reposted

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!

It was not the database or indexer. The feed generator cache layer went OOM (out of memory), likely because of a memory leak somewhere. The temporary fix for now is to restart the server every 24h :D

🧭 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!

It works by collecting your past likes of less popular posts, searching the network for users who have a similar like history, aggregating their recent likes and then ranking based on the sum of all the curator weights. The attached image shows the full SurrealQL query used for the algorithm.

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 ?

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!

SkyFeed reposted

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

SkyFeed reposted

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!

You are up to date.
