Would you like to receive notifications when you get blocked or added to a list (starter pack, mod list, etc)? Simply follow us and we'll start sending you DMs to notify you each time this happens. Follow @unsub.blocks.listifications.app to only receive notifications when you're added to a list.

If you click at some of the notifications we did send you, you'll see that the accounts that made the list are now suspended. Clearsky is showing many lists that belong to accounts which were suspended. We don't send notifications for those. Those lists don't exist anymore so it would be pointless.

New users to Listifications will now receive a welcome message. Hoping that it explains what we do well. Let us know if anything is unclear.

Welcome direct message from Listifications:

"Thank you for following @listifications.app!

We will send you a DM as soon as you are added to a list or get blocked by another user. Note that sometimes messages may be delayed, in some cases up to 3 days if they are considered spammy.

To receive only notifications for lists, follow @unsub.blocks.listifications.app

People create lists and block accounts for various reasons, in some cases these actions are automated, you should never harass anyone that has blocked you or added you to a list. Instead report any abusive lists by hitting the "Report list" button and/or by messaging @safety.bsky.app.

If you no longer wish to receive notifications from us, simply unfollow us."

I'm not sure what you mean, you should be able to add any account to your Post Notifications list. You should be able to search for any account and add it. You can also go on a profile and add it to the list that way (see image below)

You've got a space at the end of your list name, just remove it and it should work

DM us so that we can DM you Your DMs are closed to everyone it seems, so one way to get around this is to send us a message.

It is important to note that BlueSky is an open and decentralised social network. This means that all of your posts, likes, blocks, lists and other public actions can be easily accessed by anyone. One of the reasons we have created this app is to educate people about this. For more info see below:

"What is public and what is private on Bluesky?"

Open the list, then hit the three dots, you should then see a way to report the list

Although in your case it looks like you have DMs turned off

To reduce message frequency, in some cases your notifications will now get grouped into one message and delivered with a delay. This should help those who get added to many lists or get blocked by people often. It will also help us stay within the rate limits.

Example of a notification that's been grouped.

"4 people have added you to lists"

For those curious, this is what the "outage" yesterday looks like. Thanks to the DLQ we should be able to deliver these messages today.

This is despite the headers showing we have requests to spare. Sending DMs via the Bluesky UI also no longer works.

We've seen a huge spike of notifications yesterday, peaking at nearly 5 per minute!

Looking back a week it's a little messier, but I recently eliminated all the failure/DLQ cases. The failures in this case are mostly deliveries to accounts that have their DMs turned off.

Cloudflare queues graph over last week showing 3.15k messages with 96.13% delivery success, 0.95% failure and 2.92% dead letter queue.

For those curious, our notifications are implemented using Cloudflare Durable Objects and Cloudflare Queues. The Queues are particularly amazing for ensuring delivery. developers.cloudflare.com/queues/

Cloudflare Queues graph over last 24 hours showing 588 messages with 100% delivery success.
