SonaSky @sonasky.app · 19/09/2026BIG SonaSky Ref update including a couple of much-requested features! tl;dr - v1.5.0 - You can upload images TO SonaSky ref (into your repo) rather than needing a Bluesky post! (old way still works though!) - You can now add custom links to your character description - Better description editor 13910
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 18/09/2026SonaSky 2026-09-17: SonaSky Bot Offline Update: The bot is back online and catching up over the missed posts from today. 2026-09-18T00:33:00Z - sorry all, my job's been keeping me crazy busy. I'm just getting to this now. Restarted the bot, it's catching up. 1190
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 08/09/2026[Quick *important* announcement about SonaSky feeds] SonaSky feeds now respects users' "Ask apps to hide my posts from algorithmic recommendations" privacy setting. To the 106 of you who were briefly included in feeds despite your preference stating otherwise - I am deeply sorry. -Astra 1192
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 06/09/2026Time for a new feature... SonaSky Feeds! I'm excited to share that that I've got feeds created to show posts from all SonaSky labeled accounts *and* feeds per species label, both in reverse-chronological order and in a "popular" sorted feed that updates every ~15 minutes. 15712
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 06/08/2026[RESOLVED] Network Routing Issue - 2026-08-06 Summary tl;dr - the way outbound traffic for SonaSky is routed failed due to an upstream/provider issue. The issue is now resolved. At time of posting, bot lag is about 2 hours. This should auto-resolve shortly. 0141
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 26/07/20262026-07-26T05:58:24Z - Resolved **We're so back**. Bot is up and running and liking/unliking posts will now add/remove sonasky labels. Thanks for bearing with me over the last few days. Browse/check status on sonasky.app 1192
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 26/07/2026Still chipping away, the label browser (more minimal than before) is back. Next up, bots that handle adding/removing labels. 1110
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 24/07/20262026-07-24T20:21:21Z - Core services restored, except for bots. tl;dr - labelers are *ok* <3. For now, adding/removing labels is unavailable and the label browser site is unavailable while I work on some efficiency improvements to the bot and browser. Thank you for your patience. 1121
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 24/07/20262026-07-24T18:35:03Z New hardware acquired. Partial data recovery success - most critical data recovered, but was an issue recovering all db records for the db. Ozone up and running on new node with correct signing key. Next: continue attempts to recover the db + once stable bring bots back online 1141
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 24/07/2026Updates 2026-07-24T16:28:12Z Data recovery attempt is still in progress. Restarted drive recovery after first attempt failed. Disk read speed is quite slow. In parallel, acquiring new hardware. 170
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 24/07/2026Updates 2026-07-24T03:35:10Z Data recovery attempt is still in progress. Drive read is going very slow. Next update to come after I've gotten some sleep. It's been a long day. 2181
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 24/07/2026Updates 2026-07-24T01:20:35Z Data recovery attempt is still in progress. Drive read is going very slow. 2160

SonaSky @sonasky.app · 15/05/2026(11/12) Feature: Add basic markdown support for description field The character description field now renders basic markdown - bold, italic, headings, tables, lists, etc. - on the public view page instead of displaying raw text. 101
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 15/05/2026(10/12) Feature: Add confirmation dialog when clearing colors from a ref sheet A confirmation prompt now appears before wiping all colors from a ref sheet, preventing accidental data loss from a misclick. 100
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 15/05/2026(9/12) Feature: Add support for reordering character list You can now drag-and-drop to reorder your characters on the dashboard, with the custom order persisted and reflected on the public view as well. 111
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 15/05/2026(6/12) Bugfix: Hide transparency slider for color picker as it was not intended to be present The color picker was unintentionally showing an alpha/transparency slider; it's now hidden since transparent palette colors aren't a supported use case. 100
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 15/05/2026(5/12) Feature: "When is it ok to draw" checkbox clarity Improved the labeling and layout of the "when is it OK to draw" SFW/NSFW by making a matrix of checkboxes. These are better rendered on the character page as well. 100
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 15/05/2026(3/12) Feature: Color palette exporting Adds a new export helper and button allowing you to export a character's color palette, so that you can import into an art program of your choice. Supported options: GIMP, Krita, Adobe (works with Clip Studio Paint as well). (also .txt and .css for fun!) 133
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 15/05/2026(1/12) Feature: Character Links Adds the ability to attach external links to a character's ref sheet page. Supports platforms like FurAffinity, Refsheet, Toyhouse, or other Bluesky pages. 2111

SonaSky @sonasky.app · 21/06/2025Delays in applying/removing labels expected for the next couple hours. Thank you for your understanding <3 Currently, SonaSky is running approximately 21 hours behind real-time. The last post processed was from around 2025-06-20T18:35:21-04:00. 1193
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 20/06/2025Hello there, this is because you liked the "Donkey" post. Normally, un-liking this post would resolve the issue. However, SonaSky is currently offline due to a power outage. Please check back in later and hopefully the bot will be back online for you to self-service remove the label. 010
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 12/06/2025Sonasky Pokemon was briefly down 2025-06-12 Status: Resolved Summary: Pokemon labeler was temporarily offline due to a disk issue. Further investigation ongoing to prevent future outages. Please remember this is a best-effort supported service. Outage (US/Eastern) 2025-06-12 09:42:59 - 10:02:33 1132
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 10/06/2025SonaSky Pokemon labeler was briefly down (2025-06-09) [RESOLVED] Due to a disk I/O error, the virtual machine running the labeler service for Pokemon was temporarily offline (between 2025-06-09 18:35:07 and 2025-06-09 18:50:10 US/Eastern). 1155
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 24/05/2025Status Update: 2025-05-24T13:00:00Z User reports stated that the same issue was occurring with the Pokemon instance; I logged in from bed and applied the same fix, then went back to sleep for a bit. Should be all good now. 150
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 23/05/2025Status Update: 2025-05-23T22:01:00Z Pulled latest image for labeler from container registry and restarted service. Labeler looks to be back online. Last Updated: 2025-05-23 18:02:06 Eastern (a minute ago) 1121
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 23/05/2025Degraded Service SonaSky labeler is down Status: Investigating Status Update: 2025-05-23T21:25:00Z It looks like the issue may be due to a botched auto-update pushed out by Bluesky: code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND' 1151
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 15/11/2024[Status] SonaSky is experiencing issues and labels may be delayed. Investigating. 1140
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 15/11/2024Hello, reminder that I prefer that you DM @sonasky.app with any support needs/questions rather than my personal account, thank you! Now with video to demonstrate, since Bluesky hides the DM button for labeler accounts. 19019
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 13/11/2024Hello #furry folks on Bluesky! Here's a(n updated!) quick introduction to SonaSky, a #fursona labeler that adds a badge to your profile advertising what your sona species is. Subscribe here & @pokemon.sonasky.app to see all labels! Reskeet to spread the (updated) word! Updated: 2024-11-13 9672348
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 12/11/2024Just went through a TON more requests. I cannot get to all the remaining ones today, and I know more are going to come in, but I hope I was able to get to your request! 5444
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 31/10/2024I'll need to make a new intro video with this new guidance, but quick post to say: Species requests will now be done via a form instead of DMs/replies; I added a link to sonasky.app to request new species! Trying to make things more clear for all of you, as well as easier for me to keep up with. 1274
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 31/10/2024Hey Pokemon Labeled Folks! You may be seeing an old PKMN label on your profile (see picture) which is separate from your label(s) from @pokemon.sonasky.app. It doesn't show up for anyone else, just you, but to remove it, click "like" on the quoted post! bsky.app/profile/sona... (1/2) 12510
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 30/10/2024After a number of sleepless nights, I've got a second labeler stood up dedicated solely to PKMN labels! How does this affect you? If you want to SEE: subscribe to @pokemon.sonasky.app (stay subscribed to @sonasky.app too!) If you want to USE: (re)like a sonasky post with a pokemon label. 🧵 15212112
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 26/10/2024While it was a nice feature, I've disabled the bot's ability to update the labeler's display name and bio with latest cursor position and delay estimates. This consumed extra API calls and may have contributed to getting rate limited faster. For the status/position of the bot, go to sonasky.app 0172
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 22/10/2024Rate limit strikes again! Thank you for your patience and understanding. 2333
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 21/10/2024Well, still managed to get rate limited even after the updates I spent the weekend making. I think there are just a lot of labels being applied? 😅 Thank you as always for your patience as the bot catches up. I have many requests to catch up on as well after work, hope to get to those l8r today 💙 5372
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 19/10/2024Current delay for the bot can always be found on sonasky-browse.bunnys.ky :) In part due to the # of new users, the bot has gotten rate limited a few times. I'm also working on some updates to the bot to hopefully reduce how often that happens, if I can, or at least how fast it is to recover after. 130
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 18/10/2024Hello and welcome to all the new #furry folks on Bluesky! Here's a quick introduction to SonaSky, a #fursona labeler that adds a badge to your profile advertising what your sona species is. Extra tags: #furries #furryfandom 211446688
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 02/10/2024Results after 2 weeks - reverting to English only won. Once the rate limit is lifted, I'll look to deploy that change. Localizations will still be stored in this repo, but the repo will not actively push pt-BR up to the labeler github.com/astrabun/son... 3140
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 12/09/2024Congratulations on your #video feature, Bluesky! Another great addition to this awesome community. 1589
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 01/09/2024[!] NEW: The display name and description updates every 10 minutes to make it easier to see when there are delays to labels being applied. [!] NOVO: O nome de exibição e a descrição são atualizados a cada 10 minutos para facilitar a visualização quando há atrasos na aplicação de rótulos. 0204
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 31/08/2024Added a status message to sonasky-browse.bunnys.ky so you can always know how far behind the labeler bot is! If you liked a post and haven't received the label yet, check here first to see if there's a notable delay, and if there is, please be patient! 1112
SonaSky @sonasky.app · 31/08/2024Adicionada uma mensagem de status para sonasky-browse.bunnys.ky para que você sempre saiba o quão atrasado o bot do rotulador está! Se você curtiu uma publicação e ainda não recebeu o rótulo, verifique aqui primeiro para ver se há um atraso notável e, se houver, seja paciente! 054
