The network has very high traffic currently, so experiencing some brief outages

Seems like there was an outage earlier, will investigate the cause and address it

Reply filtering based on likes is functioning again! You may need to reset your preference in the pinned post for this account.

May experience some outages as there are some upgrades coming

Since I haven’t found a good workaround for tracking likes without increasing the budget, are there any other features people are interested in?

Still looking for a way to handle like filters without the massive performance hit of having to process the high number of likes. Current though is to limit the number of likes based on users being followed?

Like filtering on the feed will be disabled while I work on some performance issues

As a heads up, for following-classic I’ll look into if there’s any way I can filter with likes more efficiently. If I don’t find a way, and funds aren’t reached, I’ll be pulling that functionality out as it drastically raises system requirements ko-fi.com/ripperoni

Going to be doing some maintenance tasks now, so there may be some outages

A breakdown of the cost of running this, and other projects/services This is through Digital Ocean - $96/month for a 8 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 50GB Disk - $20/month for a 200GB Disk Volume

Since it's a new month, posting the link to donate to help pay for the following-classic feed & bskyttrpg server costs. Outside of the kofi, it's entirely funded out of my own time and wallet, so it's immensely appreciated ko-fi.com/ripperoni

Just deployed a new feature for the feed. This will not apply to reposts of a media post without alt text however

And we are back up!

Almost caught up with live records now. Made the choice that some posts will be missing in order to catch up to current posts as soon as possible

For anyone experiencing issues with the feed, please be patient

Reminding that you can by using this feed follow.ripperoni.com

Have officially hit 1,000 distinct users this week for the feed

Going to be disabling the like filtering on replies for the time being, as that's putting too much pressure on the db

Received reports people are still seeing people they’ve unfollowed on their feed, looking into this

Experiencing some disrupts, working on resolving that

Beginning the upgrade and tests now. If you notice any problem please not them here

Will be doing some testing to improve the performance in an hour or two

Feed is having some trouble keeping up with the new amount of activity, so will need to make adjustments to it. Resolution should be out this week

Sorry the feed is chugging a bit, it’s hitting all time use of today alone 40k views thus far

Experiencing an outage, working on resolving it swiftly

Some fun stats

Finally setup a kofi to help to pay for maintenance costs in running my projects. The heaviest expense at the moment is for the following-classic feed which cost $40 last month. I'm looking into reducing the cost where I can, but contributions help. ko-fi.com/ripperoni

Anyone who wants to experiment with it before I clean up the UX, I have a small demo follow.ripperoni.com/login

It's almost here

The following-classic feed should be faster, and also no longer will have a delay when following and unfollowing a user

Resolved a bug related to posts not showing correctly for some users

Going to be implementing a new feature today!

Okay, user feed preferences should be live now

Will be deploying some feed updates shortly, so there may be some outages

This is the thread containing user feed settings

Going to be making some posts for allowing user settings. They won't be live yet though, so interacting won't do anything yet

Currently, the a users following list is updated roughly every 24 hours, so newly followed accounts may not immediately show

Future feature will allow users to set how many likes they want on a reply in order for it to show

The feed you are using is being migrated to this account. Being use this feed instead bsky.app/profile/did:...
