Bluesky down for some, with frozen feeds or error messages

Social media app Bluesky is down for some users. Some are reporting that their feed appears to be frozen with only older posts appearing, while others are seeing an error message …

Based on reports at Downdetector, the problems first started around 5am ET and have been building since then. At the time of writing, the company’s status page shows that everything is fine, nothing to see here, but it’s not unusual for companies – including Apple – to take time to acknowledge issues.

The Verge’s Dominic Preston says that the problem is affecting some users, but not all.

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.

Personally, I’m seeing an error message.

Hmm, some kind of issue occurred when contacting the feed server. Please let the feed owner know about this issue.

Message from server: Internal Server Error
