Bluesky is still down? Did their servers catch fire?

People say "you can use different AppViews" and such, but the only alternative that works is Red Dwarf and it's clunky. I don't know, man.
does blacksky not work
@irelephant.at.app.wafrn.net I wasn't able to login at the official frontend due to DID resolution problems, but Witchsky configured to use the Blacksky AppView works. Well, mostly. Blacksky seems to have some trouble, too.
@volpeon *Raises paw* (What's an appview? It's always so confused about atproto bits...)
@lunarvale@weirder.earth As far as I understand it, the AppView is the part that actually turns the data transmitted throughout the ATProto network into a usable shape. I'm not saying it's merely a frontend, but rather a frontend and backend that together form an application. In BlueSky's case, its AppView is a microblogging application. Others would be a git forge (I forgot its name) and other things.
@volpeon (That's... Really overcomplicated?)
staging.blacksky.community usss the full-blown Blacksky AppView
Blacksky
@didd.uk@bsky.brid.gy No dice either
I managed to log into blacksky.community, maybe that might work? It redirected to my PDS & OAuth went through just fine
@volpeon@icy.wyvern.rip
wafrn is clunky as fuck so im not gona spam it besides this line.
But hey, check witchsky, wich allows you to set the appview to the same as in blacksky

@gabboman@gabboman.xyz Oh, I was able to log in on Witchsky. What do I need to do to use a different AppView?
@volpeon@icy.wyvern.rip
settings-> runes
there is something to set the appview but right now i dont remember the data for the blacksky one
I only get a shot at authorizing OAuth requests when Bluesky's infra isn't down, which sort of defeats the purpose
I wish I could test people's suggestions, but Bluesky is working again now and I want to see how they behave when things are actually down
