Sill is experiencing rate limit issues with Bluesky. If you use Bluesky as a PDS host (you probably do), Sill probably isn't working for you right now. I'm in communication with the Bluesky team to try to resolve this.

Quick demo on the use case for more link data in @sill.social. Browse by publication, author, and topic, and see all the links in the history of your network, plus what your network said. This is only working locally right now, still need to figure out production scale. Probably some DuckDB.

Working on a rework of filters in @sill.social. Changes: 1. New "minimum shares" filter. Really useful in conjunction with sorting by new. 2. Grid layout to make more efficient use of space. 3. Filter state is saved to local storage, so when you return, Sill remembers your filter state.
The Sill filters UI, which offers:
- a search bar
- a minimum shares input
- a sort by select input
- a time range input
- a reposts filter
- a service select input
- a list select input

@charliemeyerson.com talked about how he gets his news for @chicagopublicsquare.com. I'm pretty confident Charlie is @sill.social's #1 user. He has a custom notification feed that sends him an email anytime someone he follows posts a link about Chicago. www.chicagopublicsquare.com/2025/05/all-...
And a secret weapon: Sill—although its usefulness is a function of how many smart people one follows on Bluesky. Here's a snapshot of your Square columnist's Sill alerts yesterday morning.

The screenshot shows over a dozen emails from Sill in a 4-hour period, all links about Chicago.

Added a quick new feature to @sill.social today. You can now set up custom notifications based on lists/feeds. So, for example, I now have an RSS feed that updates whenever 2+ people share the same link in my basketball list. Notifications are a powerful way to make social media work on your time.
A screenshot of a Sill notification group for a notification called "Basketball links". It is delivered via RSS and has two filters, one on the list name, which should equal "Basketball", and the number of shares, which is greater than or equal to two.

Posting this to hold myself accountable. Sill will relaunch tomorrow morning, with or without recovered data. I have a process that removes corrupted data from my backup, but it is quite slow. I'm going to let it run overnight and see what happens. If it's not done or close, I launch anyway.

Basically where I'm at is to either: - Attempt to recover my offsite backup (which is a little old) and recover most user accounts - Just launch Sill on the new server I've provisioned (with a new provider), make everyone sign up again. Obviously option 1 is preferable!

The production failure was hardware failure at Latitude. Nothing I can do about it. That's why we backup offsite. But I made a mistake: I exported a pg_dump file through `docker exec -it`, which corrupts the binary format. But I can see the data, I just have to get it in a workable format. Ideas?

In the meantime, I'm researching alternative hosts where I can restore Sill from a backup. But this will mean lost data and lost user accounts. I'm doing everything I can to prevent this scenario, which is why this is taking an absurdly long time.

Here's the deal with Sill. Latitude.sh's support has been abysmal and has my data in limbo. I have offsite backups, but they are less recent than what's on my hard drive at Latitude. I'm holding out hope that I'll get that data back if they get their act together.

Okay well, who do you like for hosting bigger bare metal servers on the cloud, because latitude.sh is completely failing me. Been a total disaster for the last 24 hours. AWS/GCP/etc. generally too expensive for the size I'm going for.
