Hi, I have let go of the blueskyfeeds .com domain, and am no longer associated with it. From now on this account is focused on open source improvements on the feed server and running a few lightweight feeds.

Just Some Feeds @just-some-feeds.bsky.social · 08/07/2025

Running it now on my much smaller server. Will take a while to fill up again.

They're not affected. All the feeds affected have already stopped working.

i.e. UKPolitics feed will be gone on July 7 unless @johnlf.bsky.social does something about it

Hi, sorry, I missed your post. A sticky is a post that crops up every time. The feed this post is 'stuck' on will be deleted on July 7th unless the feed maker transfers it to somewhere else. Like the 'sticky' post to get rid of it.

Smaller issues if possible, but yeah, any kind of feedback is good feedback, honestly.

blueskyfeeds.com code is up on github.com/anianimals-m... Simple feed is a single-user standalone feed builder without UI that can use feeds exported from the main app. It runs with a local sqlite database The other 3 are the existing large server that uses mongodb

@oro.lol Are you experienced in building dockers? It's been more than a year since I last built one. But I should have the node.js code up on github in the next 24 hours.

Just Some Feeds @just-some-feeds.bsky.social · 24/06/2025

Open source code for feed self-host and potentially running in a docker container is tentatively working. Doing some tests and writing a readme now.

260

Just Some Feeds @just-some-feeds.bsky.social · 22/06/2025

Good idea, a docker version could even run on a local SQLite and if not complicated could run on jetstream instead of the full firehose.

140

Just Some Feeds @just-some-feeds.bsky.social · 20/06/2025

It's a legacy issue. In 2023, when I started this project, Bluesky was small and I got feedback to make creative feeds e.g. Quote 📷 🐈‍⬛ , it'd make a feed of posts photographed. Many feed features just never made it to jetstream. The firehose is still fine with optimization and horizontal scaling.

I'm also looking to work w/ any feed providers who want to support migrating feeds on my service. Keep your json backup, and hopefully someone will support feed migration from it.

Just Some Feeds @just-some-feeds.bsky.social · 20/06/2025

I'm checking with graze if they can transform my json export to their format, so do backup your feed json in case, I'll post an update if it works.

160

Just Some Feeds @just-some-feeds.bsky.social · 20/06/2025

Any feed provider that supports migrating that keeps the feed url like graze should work (but the json logic is not compatible) www.graze.social/docs/migrati...

Thanks for all the supportive words. I'm trying to rush out the open source next week for those who can deploy on a micro instance or device. I recommend deploying on a service where Inbound Data is free or very cheap because reading the firehose is 300+GBs of data per month.

Just Some Feeds @just-some-feeds.bsky.social · 14/06/2025

There's a few sites that do something similar now, compared to when I first launched.

Just Some Feeds @just-some-feeds.bsky.social · 14/06/2025

I'm sorry that I personally don't have the capacity to keep the site up. Thank you to those who have contributed on ko-fi for operating costs. I've cancelled all monthly subscriptions, and if you contributed recently and wish to get a refund, please let me know on that platform.

Just Some Feeds @just-some-feeds.bsky.social · 14/06/2025

Please start looking for ways to migrate your feeds to another service. I will be fully open sourcing the code on github on a later date once I've cleaned it up a little. If you have dev experience, you can possibly just run a small server for yourself.

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).

41249118

Just Some Feeds @just-some-feeds.bsky.social · 27/03/2025

Oh, I haven't enabled videos in this feed yet, I'll enable it now. There was also an outage I fixed about 27 hours ago that caused posts to be out of order/missing so one of your posts didn't get in.

110

Just Some Feeds @just-some-feeds.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

This time it was the database automatically resetting for 10 minutes that broke my reset. Adding a manual reset with a longer delay for that. I'm not in a good headspace right now to do much more than that 😭. Real life is rough.

110

Just Some Feeds @just-some-feeds.bsky.social · 18/01/2025

That post itself isn't 'appearing in the feed', it's the later post that mentions a bunch of clubs including those in your keywords: bsky.app/profile/geor... The default bsky.app loads posts, their parent post, and their root post in a single block as part of the context.

Just Some Feeds @just-some-feeds.bsky.social · 08/01/2025

In the Picture Posts Filter, only enable 'Posts with at least one picture', and disable Text-only posts, and you'll see this row appear.

Is your password manager editing the 'Federated PDS Domain' field? That's supposed to stay as bsky.social unless you specifically signed up on a PDS.

Service is up, and I don't see any errors here. Try using your email instead of username or clearing your browser cookies for the page and login again.

Just Some Feeds @just-some-feeds.bsky.social · 29/11/2024

Have you checked out the others not done by the big provider? I don't think anyone else injects data into the PDS either. E.g. science one: bsky.app/profile/boss...

120

Just Some Feeds @just-some-feeds.bsky.social · 29/11/2024

There is also a maximum size for the JSON pushed to the feed configuration, and my builder supports arbitrarily long lists of keywords and user-dids. Whereas my competitor has limits on the number of blocks, and regex is very compact compared to my keyword format. So basically it can't fit.

130

Just Some Feeds @just-some-feeds.bsky.social · 29/11/2024

Any other application that a user has logged in with an App Password can edit inject information there. So I cannot read and trust that information to not crash my server. In that case, publishing that information is really just to share feed templates for people like you to read.

120

Just Some Feeds @just-some-feeds.bsky.social · 29/11/2024

It is not an official feature to allow injection of arbitrary data into the generator json, and Bluesky might decide to disallow it. If I recall, my competitor added that to allow other people to clone feed templates.

110

Just Some Feeds @just-some-feeds.bsky.social · 29/11/2024

Are you a web developer? Or should I answer in less technical terms?

110

Just Some Feeds @just-some-feeds.bsky.social · 29/11/2024

You mean the feed configuration? Skyfeed is injecting the feed configuration into bluesky's data storage and I don't.

Feeds on this service usually have 'Made at Blueskyfeeds.com' at the end, and I don't see any outages on my side. Which feed are you referring to?

Thanks for the feedback. I'm editing it now.

Just the token john doe is fine. You don't need to add any ignore combinations. It only searches for John and doe separately if you add them as separate keywords

Sorry, working on it for v2, eta next month. Right now there's a delay on deleting that and it sometimes just fails. 😢

110

Just Some Feeds @just-some-feeds.bsky.social · 23/11/2024

Oh anyway, I only save and process with the shortname. The full name is sent to Bluesky at the end of the edit process, and I don't keep it. I think I found it. Did you try to add syncing a bluesky list?

000

Just Some Feeds @just-some-feeds.bsky.social · 23/11/2024

I'm reading the logs now, there's some errors and the changes got rejected. Let me see if I can replicate that. Did you edit it with the editor or import JSON for that?

000

Just Some Feeds @just-some-feeds.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

Sorry about that. I made a few fixes, see if logging out and in fixes that for you.

220

Just Some Feeds @just-some-feeds.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

It's faster because it saves to db immediately and processes as a separate server. I'm still testing, but it's about 3 min delay so far. I'm still optimising. All the features are not ready yet, e.g. it's not linked to the website.

110

Just Some Feeds @just-some-feeds.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

New update will fix that, I'm estimating that it'll be ready next week.

Just Some Feeds @just-some-feeds.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

That said, I wonder if there's a way to make a block list of servers that these kinds of validation tests are run on, so that regular users don't get affected.

000

Just Some Feeds @just-some-feeds.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

True. Valid and well-formed however doesn't mean it wasn't malicious 😂 and can disrupt public infrastructure (e.g. feed providers). I've filed a github issue with atproto to improve the free templates and improve validation.

Just Some Feeds @just-some-feeds.bsky.social · 16/11/2024

I've restarted the site and edits seem to work fine for me. Is it still failing for you?

000

Just Some Feeds @just-some-feeds.bsky.social · 16/11/2024

Will get back to you in about an hour when I get home to test

The servers are overloaded with lots of new posts now that there are 1 million new users in the past 24hr. I need at least 2 weeks to deal with it, follow this account for updates on the situation. I'm spending money manually starting and stopping servers to deal with the slow processing speed
