X alternative Bluesky seems to be having one of those days. I first noticed that my “Following” feed — which is supposed to load posts chronologically — wasn’t showing any posts more recent than two hours ago. I follow 728 accounts right now, some of which are extremely online, so I knew something must be up.

When I tried to share one of my own articles from this morning, it appeared to post successfully — I can even still see it on my Bluesky profile page — but when I try to click through to the post itself, it says it can’t be found.

While Bluesky’s own service page doesn’t currently report any outage, Down Detector shows a spike in reports from the last two hours, so it’s not just me. One of my colleagues is seeing the same problem as me, with only older posts appearing, while another is actually seeing an error message warning that “some kind of issue occurred when contacting the feed server.” Then again, another colleague is seeing his feed load just fine, so whatever’s gone wrong, it doesn’t appear to be universal.

We’ve reached out to Bluesky for comment.

Update, September 24th: Added confirmation that not every Bluesky user’s feed is broken.
