Feed should no longer have a hard rest daily that is disruptive
September 26, 2025 at 7:10 PM
The network has very high traffic currently, so experiencing some brief outages
September 10, 2025 at 9:51 PM
Seems like there was an outage earlier, will investigate the cause and address it

Reply filtering based on likes is functioning again! You may need to reset your preference in the pinned post for this account.
February 22, 2025 at 9:19 PM
May experience some outages as there are some upgrades coming
February 22, 2025 at 8:31 PM
Since I haven’t found a good workaround for tracking likes without increasing the budget, are there any other features people are interested in?
January 31, 2025 at 9:58 AM
Still looking for a way to handle like filters without the massive performance hit of having to process the high number of likes.

Current though is to limit the number of likes based on users being followed?
January 23, 2025 at 7:54 AM
Like filtering on the feed will be disabled while I work on some performance issues
January 21, 2025 at 7:12 AM
As a heads up, for following-classic I’ll look into if there’s any way I can filter with likes more efficiently.

If I don’t find a way, and funds aren’t reached, I’ll be pulling that functionality out as it drastically raises system requirements

A breakdown of the cost of running this, and other projects/services

This is through Digital Ocean
- $96/month for a 8 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 50GB Disk
- $20/month for a 200GB Disk Volume
Since it's a new month, posting the link to donate to help pay for the following-classic feed & bskyttrpg server costs. Outside of the kofi, it's entirely funded out of my own time and wallet, so it's immensely appreciated

Almost caught up with live records now. Made the choice that some posts will be missing in order to catch up to current posts as soon as possible

Have officially hit 1,000 distinct users this week for the feed
November 16, 2024 at 9:44 PM
Going to be disabling the like filtering on replies for the time being, as that's putting too much pressure on the db
November 14, 2024 at 2:42 AM
Received reports people are still seeing people they’ve unfollowed on their feed, looking into this
November 13, 2024 at 10:18 PM
Experiencing some disrupts, working on resolving that
November 13, 2024 at 9:07 PM
Beginning the upgrade and tests now. If you notice any problem please not them here
November 13, 2024 at 6:11 AM
Will be doing some testing to improve the performance in an hour or two
November 13, 2024 at 5:33 AM
Feed is having some trouble keeping up with the new amount of activity, so will need to make adjustments to it. Resolution should be out this week
November 12, 2024 at 9:50 PM
Sorry the feed is chugging a bit, it’s hitting all time use of today alone 40k views thus far
