Bluesky is still down? Did their servers catch fire?

Be the first to share your thoughts.
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 Red Dwarf works because it connects directly to PDS servers and uses microcosm services. Blacksky should have stayed working right now since they moved off of most, if not all, of the Bluesky services. plc.directory is still the main authority Bluesky owns, but there are projects replicating and caching it now like plc.wtf that will be part of microcosm. I did catch the CTO saying "I think it's coming back now" right before it crashed again this morning.
@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?)

I managed to log into blacksky.community, maybe that might work? It redirected to my PDS & OAuth went through just fine

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
