Rise of the machines…

Christine McCloud @geneapleau.bsky.social · 2d

I’m setting my expectations really, really low.

Christine McCloud @geneapleau.bsky.social · 2d

Still waiting…

My # g e n c h a t posting update: So now Bluesky Support is looking into it. Hopefully they can fix this, and even more so hopefully it's just me!

Not sure. Bluesky Feed Creator did explain how they changed how their feeds have changed unless you pay up. I don't need a dedicated #genchat feed that bad, especially if it's excluding people!

Christine McCloud @geneapleau.bsky.social · 4d

Not anymore. I canceled the custom feed. So my personal posts *ought* to just show up in the regular search feed.

Christine McCloud @geneapleau.bsky.social · 5d

Well, crap, it's still not showing up under the hashtag. Back to Bluesky support. Meanwhile, I'm going to play with my ancestors.

Christine McCloud @geneapleau.bsky.social · 5d

All right, let's try this again. #genchat

Christine McCloud @geneapleau.bsky.social · 5d

Yeah, I just heard back from Support. They said that I could (A) note which users I wanted to be in the feed, or (B) pay to see everything all the time. Screw that, I'm nuking it. Using the search bar will do just fine, as well as Deck Blue. Goodbye, Bluesky Feed Creator!

It was making me crazy last night! Fortunately, @genchat.bsky.social worked just fine

Yes, I posted that from the Genchat account.

Christine McCloud @geneapleau.bsky.social · 5d

I did!

Christine McCloud @geneapleau.bsky.social · 5d

I was hoping it would show up on the feed! I personally set up the custom feed, and the only parameter it has is using the hashtag #genchat

Christine McCloud @geneapleau.bsky.social · 5d

It seems to be affecting regular search by hashtag as well. I had to go back in to the feed creator & force-post my posts. I’m worried that there are others whose posts I’m never seeing!

Let’s see of if I show up in the #genealogy feed.

Christine McCloud @geneapleau.bsky.social · 5d

Nope.

Christine McCloud @geneapleau.bsky.social · 5d

Well, I've put reports to both Bluesky and to Bluesky Feed Creator. We'll see what they say.

Christine McCloud @geneapleau.bsky.social · 5d

#genchat Just posting this to test the custom feed.

Christine McCloud @geneapleau.bsky.social · 5d

Thanks. I’m glad I’m not totally invisible! I highly suspect that there’s a bug in the feed creator I made for genchat. I just need to carve out some time to fix it.

Christine McCloud @geneapleau.bsky.social · 6d

Interesting...

Christine McCloud @geneapleau.bsky.social · 6d

Testing: without a hashtag

Christine McCloud @geneapleau.bsky.social · 6d

I may just have to nuke the #genchat custom feed with BlueSky Feed Creator if I can't get my posts to show at all. And I think it may be interfering with seeing posts via the ordinary search-bar. So frustrating!!

Are my posts showing up when you type #genchat in the search bar, though? Because I'm not seeing them, oddly enough

Christine McCloud @geneapleau.bsky.social · 6d

OK, I can't see my personal profile in any version of #genchat feeds: deck blue, search bar, etc. I can see when posting from the @genchat.bsky.social profile. What the heck?
