Sky Feeds

All SkyFeed feeds are now back online, thanks for your patience! The feed generator backend is now serving 120 feed requests/second :O

New posts might still be a bit delayed, please reply to this post if your feed is having other issues.

Hey SkyFeed users, new posts won't appear in your feeds for the next 1 to 3 hours because I switched the indexer to the new federated bsky.network BGS, and it still needs to catch up on the last three days' worth of posts, likes and so on! Thanks for your patience.

✨ The 𝙇𝙞𝙨𝙩 𝘼𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙩 is now live on skyfeed.app ✨

You can use it to create lists based on RegEx matching display names, handles and the full profile description.

This feature is still highly experimental, so please be careful and report any issues and bugs you might encounter here in this thread!

Update: Everything is back online!

✨ SkyFeed v0.9.0 ✨

• The sidebar is now collapsible and shows a list of trending hashtags
• You can now create multiple workspaces/decks and quickly switch between them
• Full hashtag support with feeds for every existing hashtag (sorted by New, Hot, Rising, Top or Random)

→ skyfeed.app

✨ New personalized Feed: Liked by Follows ✨

It contains posts liked in the last 10 hours by users you follow. However, the more posts someone has liked, the less their likes are worth. So the feed might highlight interesting posts by users who don't use Bluesky that much yet :)

yes, the easiest way is to add a second regex block after the first one and tick the "invert" checkbox for the second one. it will remove all posts that match the second regex

just a regex with \b@handle should work

🛠️ Builder Update 🛠️

• RegEx search now supports alt text and links
• Remove by reply/repost count
• Remove list of users
• Stash+Pop blocks for more advanced feeds
• Remove duplicates
• List Input: set timeframe
• Debug info: result counts
• Performance optimizations!

Try it on https://skyfeed.app

it should be working in the official app, check if your " content language" settings maybe filter out some posts. also if it doesn't work you can configure your default "Following" feed to not show replies in settings if you're using the most recent official app

The SkyFeed Builder query engine is now open-source 🛠️ Written in Rust and powers all of the 645+ feeds you already published! The engine has been pretty reliable, the recent outages were caused by the custom caching proxy.

not yet

performance, it's not possible to build an efficient index for every single possible regex, so the engine always has to check every single post for a regex match. when you use a single user or list input it's less posts to search so the limit could be higher (iirc 10 days atm)

SkyFeed Status Page: https://status.skyfeed.xyz/

If this is the only post you see in a custom feed, SkyFeed is down. If I'm not asleep, it should be back online in about 15 minutes!

the list input always uses the maximum timeframe available. should be back to 7 days now!

right now all feeds are limited to 24 hours for performance reasons (there's a lot of activity right now), but should be back to 7 days soon

yeah that looks good

you can check the status page to see if it's just your feed: https://status.skyfeed.xyz/

Should be back online now! new deployment gone wrong

It should be picked up if you get enough likes

After pasting the link in the bsky.app text box it should show a button for adding the embed

I just switched to a new query engine powered by Rust which is a lot more efficient, but does not support lookaheads and lookbehinds because they are slow. it should be possible to rewrite your regex to work without them, let me know if you need help with that

Hey everyone, the bsky firehose (API) is still catching up after the outage, so you might not see new posts on SkyFeed feeds for the next few hours. In other news, a rewritten version of the SkyFeed query engine in Rust is almost ready, so big performance improvements coming early next week!

SkyFeed Builder UI, configured with a "What's Hot Classic" Feed, input entire network, remove replies, remove posts with less than 12 likes, sort by creation date

🛠️ Builder Update 🛠️

You can now filter by like count and remove non-hellthread posts using the "Remove" block!

More improvements: show query timings, detect if name is too long, better error messages, mobile support, unpublish feeds, explain RegEx block, list picker

Try it on https://skyfeed.app

The example feed filters for all posts on the network using the science emoji and ranks them with the What's Hot (Hacker News) algorithm.

🛠️ Introducing the SkyFeed Builder 🛠️

Easily build powerful custom feeds using simple blocks and a full preview of the feed. When you're ready, you can publish the feed on your account for anyone to use, even in the official app!

Available now on https://skyfeed.app/

Screenshot of the new SkyFeed Builder, running in debug mode

Coming soon: Build powerful custom feeds directly in the SkyFeed app 🛠️ These feeds can be published on your personal account and used by anyone, even in the official app!

All @skyfeed.xyz queries/algorithms are now open-source: https://skyfeed.xyz/queries

You can run them yourself with an instance of the SkyFeed Indexer (https://github.com/skyfeed-dev/indexer). Algorithmic transparency is important, especially for more complex feeds like "Discover".

Unfortunately it's hard to detect the location, one approach could be to check the profile of who posted something for country flags, but that's not really reliable.

hmm weird, does that still happen?

yeah I could do that, maybe just include them by default in the main feed
