We have released a new version of @iroh.computer. Nothing major in terms of features, but we did manage to significantly reduce the binary size. So now my entire embedded device zoo is running on iroh from crates.io. No more patch needed. www.iroh.computer/blog/iroh-1-...
ESP32 and Pi Pico running iroh 1.3

No, but I've been focusing on setting up a @sifa.id profile, which is a decentralized alternative to LinkedIn: sifa.id/p/redsolver....

nothing to see here, this is just a test post for checking the latency of the new skyfeed query engine :P

hi du kannst bei deinem regex einfach (brot|brötchen|stulle)\b machen, mit \b wird erzwungen dass das an einer wortgrenze ist

this has been a bit painful, but now skyfeed.app is no longer on a 2 year old flutter version :) I also added a few performance improvements, so it should feel better to use. However, Flutter no longer supports the HTML renderer on web, so if somethings broken on your device pls let me know

hi, sorry for not responding earlier -- unfortunately thats not something skyfeed can influence directly because it depends on the client you use to view a feed with. the official bsky app always shows the full reply chain inline as far as I know, and the only thing you could do is exclude replies.

I deployed Jetstream V2 (github.com/bluesky-soci...) a few days ago and am pretty happy with how smooth it is, compared to previous solutions.

SkyFeed @skyfeed.eu · 17/08/2026
Back in March I posted that SkyFeed isn't sustainable: hosting 75,000+ community feeds for millions of readers costs ~1000€/month, and donations cover ~200€. The gap has been coming out of my own pocket. Today that changes: SkyFeed Pro is now live on skyfeed.eu 💚 [1/x]

what exactly are you referring to?

redsolver @redsolver.dev · 26/07/2026
as long as they still exist on bluesky they should be visible, which feed is affected and could you link a sample post missing from it?

I was looking at packages/appserver in github.com/muni-town/ro..., not sure if it's still in use but it had recent commits.

I really like that the web app is using Svelte, but something that put me off was the non-FOSS license used for some of the core backend parts.

redsolver @redsolver.dev · 24/07/2026
My final picks were @colibri.social (excited for the next release there!), @chatto.run (still working on atproto/bsky auth and integration) and potentially @nerimity.com (excellent feature set and interface, but not that close to atproto)

if the member limit becomes an issue I'll create another one and bridge them!

I've been testing a few open Discord alternatives (including atproto-native ones) and they are really promising, but not fully there yet! So for now, I decided to instead simply create a temporary bsky group chat for SkyFeed discussion: bsky.app/chat/eCF6sL2 - feel free to join and say hi :)

I would like to set up a community space/chat for SkyFeed, which platforms/protocols would you recommend? the obvious pick here is Discord, but not sure if that really fits the whole "privacy-friendly and decentralized" vibe. I would also consider trying roomy, but not sure how polished it is yet?

Hey everyone, I would like to apologize for the unreliable SkyFeed experience over the past few days. It's part of the not quite yet finished process of migrating feeds to the new infra, and I'm trying my best to get it done and finally have reliable feeds again! (incl. all the personalized ones)

redsolver @redsolver.dev · 22/06/2026
It's mostly about RegEx complexity, the new engine has stricter timeouts and I still have some work to do in caching efficiency of already processed feeds, which results in some feeds with larger regex queries to fail to compute in time. Actively working on ironing these bugs out atm.

redsolver @redsolver.dev · 18/06/2026
Hey, I've been switching a lot of feeds over to the new infra over the past few hours, if you still notice any issues in one of your (or someone elses) skyfeed feeds right NOW, in this moment, please reply here with a link to it. I'll take a look and fix them if needed!

I found the issue, my edge cache (bunny.net) was configured to keep serving old http responses if my servers are down/erroring, but looks like bunny just thought there were having issues all the time, likely due to high latency US<->EU or so. anyways, should finally be fixed now.

Oh yeah for uhhm a few minutes I had the bunny cdn cache not vary by query params, which resulted in everyone getting the same (cached) feed for a few seconds each 😅

This new setup should result in significantly more reliable user experience across all feeds, and enables me to finally resume work on some long-promised features and updates! If you notice any issues during the cutover phase, please ping me or send me a DM.

After more than a year of re-building the entire SkyFeed architecture, the first few SkyFeed feeds are now finally being served by it! 🎉 All feeds are being validated automatically on each request and if they are proven to work reliably, that specific feed is routed to the new server.

This was a weird one, my redis cache container was migrated to a new host I guess, but its internal v6 ip could not be reached from the other skyfeed containers. re-deploying the cache container (resulting in a new IP) fixed it

redsolver @redsolver.dev · 03/06/2026
SkyFeed feeds are currently down due to a networking issue over at my @fly.io cache layer. Not sure yet if it's just my fault for not configuring something correctly or if they are having issues, I'm currently doing my best to find the issue and fix it quickly!

redsolver @redsolver.dev · 31/05/2026
Oh yeah sorry about not announcing that, I had to temporarily disable the endpoint serving that feed to reduce pressure on the database server

Which feeds exactly? The ones I checked are looking fine
