By the way - growth was never a goal for me My friends were like "oh I'm on bluesky and don't have a way to get my posts to discord" Made a solution and decided to make it public, then fix it later. It's fulfilling to make things for people you know. Strive to be like me, peasants.

Currently in the process of moving so uh V2 is going to take a LONG time while I try and get my shit together (y'all please give me grace I know shits hella broke rn)

MikroORM keeps doing this and I don't know why. It's pissing me off because it can't store channel IDs correctly. Someone please help 😭😭😭

shits fucked yo (nothing breaking it's just annoying database stuff)

Orchid is having trouble. I know. If you're experiencing issues and want it resolved immediately, use @skycord.app or help find bugs on our github: github.com/kyanoxia/orc... Mean time, I'm working on a v2 of the bot anyways so bugs won't be fixed immediately (why this account has been so quiet).

As of today, we're fully running on Pyro! 🎉🥳 Aside from the database, which is still MongoDB. The new privacy policy is not ready yet, but all that's really going to change is adding a link to Pyro's Privacy Policy, as our core policy hasn't changed. pyro.host/privacy

We've launched the Pyro Open Source Foundation, welcome our first beneficiary! 🎉

Stable hosting... finally... We've partnered with @pyro.host to beef up our hosting. We're no longer going to be running on a raspberry pi soon! In a week's time, Orchid will be fully running on their infrastructure, and an updated Privacy Policy will be issued. Read it! 🧵

Something big is happening soon 👀

We're back

Another power failure. We'll be back up soon ❤️

Orchid is back up, sorry for the inconvenience! We had a power failure yesterday but all is taken care of now! Donate on the Ko-Fi or GitHub Sponsors so we can run on a VPS and not on my parents' network ❤️

hehehehehehehe :3

Our website just got updated! To see what changed, go check it out @ kyanoxia.com/orchid

Thank you everyone for 300 guilds! This is monumental, and we're eternally grateful to be able to provide a service used by so many. Here's to helping many more people build their community 🎉

We're back up and running! Thanks for your support, and we should not have any more power failures (unless we do ;))

Orchid is down due to various issues; expect it to be back up later today. If you'd like to help contribute to buying a VPS and help to support me, please donate to the Ko-Fi. ko-fi.com/kyanoxia

Bot's being fuckier, taking it offline until I can pinpoint the issue.

No substantial changes have been made, but I am obligated to tell you that the privacy policy and terms of service have been updated. Please go read them on the GitHub. (hardly anything changed aside from the bot's name)

📢New Update! (1/5) Here's what's changed (v2.0.0) - We have migrated to the public Bluesky Jetstream - API calls are now more conveniently handled - The database got rebuilt to focus on channels connected to accounts, rather than accounts connected to guilds

Clearly - we have new branding. Orchids represent grace. The logo may not be final, and I'm still waiting on Discord to officially change the name of the bot, but I suppose this can be considered part of the v2 update. Sorry for the sudden change, but it must be done. I'll keep you updated.

So as you probably knew (if you use Skycord), there's been some drama afoot Basically, I made a false assumption that @midnightwolf.bsky.social was attempting to impersonate me by using some assets extremely similar to the ones I created This wasn't the case and we've come to a mutual agreement 🧵

Okay so it's very much broken right now, but I know *where* the error is. I just don't know *how* the error is. Expect maintenance to run until monday (because I'm one girl coding this myself and I need sleep tonight)

Skycord v2 maintenance is going to start VERY soon. Be prepared for outages and inconsistencies (you shouldn't get ping spammed). If you are subscribed to Ko-Fi, you can see a pre-release devlog here: ko-fi.com/post/Skycord...

Skycord v2 is close to release! With this release you can expect... a lot of bugs... (hopefully not!) I'm working on re-writing the database structure so that you don't have to reconnect your accounts, but it's not looking so hot so far... I'll keep working towards it!

I'm stepping away to go to the doctor. What a morning, I wasn't even able to hang out with my girlfriend or do my French lessons today. Thanks guys! Privacy policy and Terms of Service has been updated. Go read them.

i fourth this 🙏

We're at over 200 guilds now, thank you all so much! Make sure to star the GitHub repo linked in our bio! It helps more than you know!

📢New Update! Here's what's changed: - Accounts don't randomly disconnect anymore /update command is coming so we can update specific values instead of reconnecting accounts.

I'M WORKING ON IT AAAAAAAAA

Bluesky's API went down last night. A lot of your accounts were disconnected. Skycord checks for invalid accounts by using the API which is why you got disconnected. The issue is resolved and you should be able to reconnect now. 🧵

Thank you @buggygamedev.bsky.social for being our first supporter on Ko-Fi! Your donation is much appreciated ♥️

📢New Update! Here's what's changed: - Multi-channel support has been FIXED - The disconnect command has now been optimized MASSIVE thank you to @charo.houseparty.vip for helping me debug (and watching me crash out in the discord :3)

Beep Boop Bluesky News!

I've seen a bunch of people with invalid handles try to connect the bot, so just note that if your handle goes invalid, you must fix it before you can connect your account to Skycord. If your handle is invalid, the bot will disconnect your account and wait for you to reconnect it.

Hehe oopsies I fixed the bug :3

📢New Update! Here's what's changed: - Added an optional Regular Expression blacklist that will run on the body of posts - Added more error checks - Fixed console log/error/info/warn not accepting objects Please brush up on your regex syntax ;) regex101.com

Hey y'all! We're proud to announce that Skycord is now able to accept donations through Ko-Fi AND GitHub Sponsors (officially this time)! If you enjoy the bot and want to see it grow and improve, please consider donating! github.com/sponsors/kya... ko-fi.com/kyanoxia

📢New Update! What changed in version 1.2.5? - Added embed provider bskye.app (requested by @salbug.bsky.social)

Hey guys I have a question. Do we have a use for this feature? I could possibly implement a regex check for this. What are we thinking? I want to check before I soend an extra 20 hours coding this. github.com/Kyanoxia/sky...

Alright you guys, I got it set up! Ko-fi is LIVE! Please donate if you can, it motivates me to continue work on the bot, and helps me to get better facilities to do so! ko-fi.com/kyanoxia

We have a swag new handle now 😎

📢New Update! (1/2) - Disconnect command now works properly again without specifying order! - The reply parameter has been fixed (Thank you @wolfsaiman.bsky.social for the bug report)!

Yo chat we have an official webpage now. It's not perfect and when I feel like it I'll add more but start pushing people towards here instead of the GH now: www.kyanoxia.com/skycord

Hey guys, I'm proud to announce that Skycord has officially hit 100 guilds! It's truly an honor to be able to create and host this utility for you, and I hope that I can continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Thanks a lot guys, girls, and other-identifying pals! ❤️🎊
