Caught up!

Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 17/08/2026
After yesterday's Bluesky outage, this feed server got way behind and had a bug that kept it from catching up effectively. It should catch up within the next 30 minutes or so. There is a chance that the engagement counts powering the Highline feed sorting could be off for yesterday's posts

It happened again, sorry, will try to prevent this kind of issue in the future

The feed server got stuck receiving updates about 7 hours ago, I got it going again and it should catch up soon

Oh interesting, I did see something about the Bluesky team trying to enable that recently but rolling it back. I’ll look into it more

Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 14/06/2026
Hmmm, I need to look into that. Do you know what kind of replies I’m surfacing that the default feed doesn’t?

The Following ➖ and Following ⬇️ feeds should now show your own posts too, like the original Following feed does. In the former, you can mute yourself like you can any other account

Great question! In the OAuth flow, you're redirected to log in through bsky.social (your PDS), but the next step confirms what exactly you're authorizing. For my server the only permission I request is just to confirm your identity. You can see & revoke your authorizations here: bsky.social/account
bsky.social

New feed: it should work basically like Following, but if you use "show less" on a repost, you won't see reposts from that account. If you "show less" on a post, you will mute that account from the feed. There's a UI to add or remove mutes at feeds.mdruker.app. Feedback welcome!

New experimental feed: top 100 most engaged posts (likes + reposts + replies) across the network over the last day, in reverse chronological order

The server got stuck consuming updates overnight, it should catch back up soon
010
Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 07/06/2026
Server is back up. I moved the feed server to my own VPS to save some money and have more capacity. Please let me know if you see any issues!

Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 07/06/2026
I am starting some maintenance on the feed server, expected downtime about 15-20 minutes.

Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 04/05/2026
Did you know you can tap “see more/less like this” and the Highline feeds will increment or decrement the number of posts from that account you’ll see per 24 hours?
011
Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 18/04/2026
It would increase storage costs quite a bit, not sure about compute. I’m planning to look soon at changes to how/where this server is deployed to optimize costs, will see then if extending the storage period could make sense, or if it’d only work as a premium tier or something

Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 14/03/2026
Highline feed update! The Highline ⬆️ and Highline ⬇️ feeds will now try to skip showing you posts you've already seen on these feeds. Please let me know what you think.

Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 14/03/2026
Sorting option added! Let me know if it works for you.

Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 05/03/2026
I switched which jetstream instance it listened to, and now the server seems to be consuming updates. It should hopefully catch up to real time over the next couple of hours.

Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 05/03/2026
The server seems to be stuck in consuming new posts, it will likely take me a few hours to address it

Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 28/01/2026
The server is caught up now, let me know if you see anything weird in the feeds.

Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 28/01/2026
The server is now consuming events again, but will likely take some hours to fully catch up, sorry!

Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 28/01/2026
Looks like this server was affected by Bluesky relay updates, looking into it.

Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 30/12/2025
Thank you! Glad to hear it’s useful. The repost percent isn’t of number of reposts in Following, it’s a target for what portion of the Highline feed is reposts. The server populates it from the top most reposted posts from your follows over the last day, showing the earliest repost for each.
010
Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 30/12/2025
Oh, interesting! I will look into that
000
Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 23/12/2025
Thanks! With the name, I’m trying to convey that it’s reposts not from the whole network but from your follows specifically — and not take up too much space. Will think about how else to say that
010
Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 23/12/2025
Oops, incorrectly assigning blame here. It was my own bug that I introduced a month ago that broke reposts! Mea culpa.
010
Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 23/12/2025
It looks like a Bluesky app update caused reposts to stop appearing in the Highline feeds. I pushed an update and they should appear again, per your settings. By default, the Highline feeds include 10% reposts, but you can tweak how many your feed shows at feeds.mdruker.app

Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 19/12/2025
New feed: posts most reposted by your follows over the last 24 hours, in descending order of number of reposts. H/t to @bmann.ca for the feed concept

Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 11/12/2025
New feed: This one is a _forward_ chronological version of Following that saves your spot as you scroll from oldest to newest. It might be for you if you don't follow a lot of accounts. Let me know what you think, or if you find bugs!

Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 11/12/2025
I fixed an oauth issue that affected logins to feeds.mdruker.app for some PDS’s. If you had trouble getting in, give it another shot!

The server is all caught up! Apologies for the downtime
010
Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 24/11/2025
Turns out the server got stuck on some bad data... 10 hours ago. I pushed a fix and got it back up but it'll take some time to catch up on all And I'll look into how to make the server more resilient for this scenario

This feed server is not doing so well. Will look into it this evening.

The server is caught up now

Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 19/11/2025
Looks like an issue with one of the jetstream endpoints. I switched to another one and the server is now trying to catch up.
100
Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 19/11/2025
The server seems to be behind on updates from the network, looking into why.

Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 18/11/2025
FYI: the reverse chronological Highline feed is now known as Highline ⬆️ and the new chronological one is Highline ⬇️. They both use the same feed filtering logic and your customizable settings at feeds.mdruker.app.

Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 15/11/2025
New feed alert! I'm developing a new feed, a version of the Highline feed that's _forward_ chronological. It holds your place (up to 24 hours back), and catches you up to not-quite-now on what you missed. Try it and let me know what you think.

Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 22/10/2025
Anyone have any feedback about the Highline feed? Especially interested if you’ve tried out customizing what it shows you at feeds.mdruker.app, but I’d also appreciate just hearing how you use it or why it didn’t work for you

Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 24/09/2025
This explains some weirdness you may have seen on the Highline feed over the last few hours. This server itself seems to be OK

Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 11/09/2025
The Catch Up feed is now known as Highline! Like the highlights of your timeline/skyline. And new users of the feed will be defaulted to seeing some recent posts at the top. Happy for feedback, of course.
020
Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 10/09/2025
The Catch Up feed settings page (feeds.mdruker.app) now asks for fewer permissions when you log in
Oauth authorization page asking for identity permissions only
020
Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 09/09/2025
Thanks for the feedback! I've now reduced the oauth scopes so it's just identifying your account. Let me know if it works for you
100
Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 09/09/2025
I can’t find how to do a narrower scope, unfortunately. Have you seen that elsewhere?
100
Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 09/09/2025
I don’t do very much with the oauth sessions, happy to narrow permissions if it’s possible, especially if there’s prior art I can look at

Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 05/09/2025
The Recent Posts setting (accessible at feeds.mdruker.app) has now been updated to include reposts and replies as you would normally see in your Following timeline, before showing you a more filtered view of earlier posts
Recent Posts (Experimental)

Before switching to the most engaged posts, the feed can show you an unfiltered view of a few of the latest posts.

[20] newest posts shown first

Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 05/09/2025
Catch Up feed updates! (This should only show up once on your feed as a news post) -Tap Show More / Show Less on a post to have more or fewer shown from that account -Log in to the personalized settings page at feeds.mdruker.app to adjust replies, reposts, and how much the feed shows you
1101
Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 04/09/2025
The Catch Up feed supports this now. Show more / show less will increase or decrease by 1 the number of posts the feed will show you from that account per 24 hours. You can always see and edit those values at feeds.mdruker.app as well.
001
Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 18/08/2025
Updating the default settings so new users of the Catch Up feed will be able to see replies and some reposts. Existing users shouldn't be affected, but if you see something weird, let me know. And you can update settings at feeds.mdruker.app regardless.

Highline Feeds @feeds.mdruker.app · 16/08/2025
New feature for the Catch Up feed now available to test! To use, go to feeds.mdruker.app and log in through bsky.social.
Account-Specific Overrides. Set positive for more posts from this account, negative for less.

Shows +5 for @jamellebouie.net, -10 for @jcsalterego.bsky.social, and an Add New Override section.
