bskycheck.com had a downtime of 1-2 hours today. A maintenance operation that went wrong. Disregard the stats for today

Hello #eurosky 🎉 Just migrated, very easy. Amazing work @eurosky.social and EU-HAUL migration tool.

‪Changing the logo of bskycheck to this. The old one was too close to the official logo of bluesky. Like it?

I can vouch that AT proto is incredibly easy and enjoyable to develop on. If you’re on the fence about developing your app or agent, go for it. Especially with the new atproto.com website that makes it even easier.

Next, the posting stats of the typical user after 1 year: In average: 29 followers, 33 posts But median is 2 followers, 0 posts Why the gap? a few users drive the average: 👀 76.9% NEVER posted (lurkers!) 🌟 22 super posters (10K+ posts) Only 15.6% have complete profile

And finally some fun facts from the #bluesky users that registered exactly 1 year ago: Together they: - Posted 1.7M posts - Gained 1.5M followers - Are following 1.6M users - 672 users got custom domains (Top: .com 213, .gy 77, .org 35)

Secondly, the engagement type of #bluesky user that registered exactly 1 year ago: - 61.3 % (32,176) are balanced (similar followers/following) - 0.6% (308) are influencers (10x followers and more than 5k) - 19.7% (10,321) are consumers - 2.9% (1,539) follow nobody - 15.6% (8,175) have no followers

🎉 Today is bskycheck.com anniversary 🎉 I started monitoring and logging the new #bluesky users on 18th Feb 2025

To mark bskycheck.com anniversary, I decided to do a "what happen to them" look back on the 62,933 users that registered on 18 Feb 2025, exactly 1 year ago. First, are they still around? - SURVIVAL RATE: 52,519 (83.5%) - Deleted: 2,727 (4.3%) - Suspended: 7,152 (11.4%) - Deactivated: 523 (0.8%)

Added back the stats for the domain to bskycheck.com, as well as a few new ones related to PDS.

Added tool-tip details of the streamers in the live now users list. It displays a preview of their stream (working with twitch and youtube only at the moment).

I did a few changes on my script that counts new users. Bskycheck was over estimating the number of new user vs bsky.jazco.dev/stats by around 5% (it got worse recently not sure why). Did a few adaptations to get closer, over-estimation is now around 1-2%.

And finally, I did a little of de-cluttering the stats page by grouping some statistics... and because there is never enough took the opportunity to add a few more stats 😜 Feedback welcome...

Second new feature: Leader-board lists Huge shootout and thanks to @bluefacts.app for this one. I am too much of a fan of www.bluefacts.app to redo what they are doing so well. So you have all the lists of top users right in bskycheck.com

First new feature: "Live now" list List of all the users with a "Live Now badge" on Bluesky: Users currently broadcasting on #Twitch, #stream.place, #YouTube, #bluecast Click on the platform logo to access the stream

🎉 Just launched a few new features on bskycheck.com 🎉

Adding a new feature on bskycheck.com A guess of what is inside❓

Bskycheck.com monitoring of new signup is back online. The prognosis for now is "stable and under monitoring"

⚠️ bskycheck.com is down ⚠️ I am having some issues with AT proto jetstream. Events like new signing are not processed Working on a fix... Please disregard all stats for today

bskycheck.com new feature alert! Hover over any handle in the verified domains table to see a tooltip with the user's profile picture and display name. Hope you like it! 😊

Prepared an Android app version of bskycheck.com website. Nothing fancy just the website in an app. Need testers to be able to put on the play store. So please DM me if you can help 🙏

I made an android app version of bskycheck (iOS coming soon). I would need some testers So if you have an android phone and are interested please DM me 🙏

Thinking of adding stats in the automated daily post: "📈 ____.__ K new users joined Bluesky yesterday (↘ __._% from previous day) I can add: - daily Averages (per hour, sec) - momentum weekly, monthly - expected date of next milestone (next million user, end of year...) What would be useful?

Bluesky has been on a growth spree! For the past 2 days we’ve seen 3× wave of new users So… what’s fueling the surge? 🤔 1️⃣ 🎨 That new “Edit Image” feature on X 2️⃣ 🎉 Festive vibes, new year, new me 3️⃣ 🌊 Just a fluke that’ll settle down soon 4️⃣ 💡Other? (drop your theories) 📊 Show results

Will be quiet on here for a few days. Other blue skies calling #alps #skiing #photography

⚠️ A maintenance operation on bskycheck went wrong ⚠️ Today's stats are affected. Disregard.

Not to have a break in the posts during holidays I automated this. From tomorrow a similar one will be posted. Less personal comment... more constancy... compromises...

Holidays are coming 🏂 ☃️ Will not be doing much on bskyheck.com for a while So last chance if you have new requests...

I created a few dynamic lists from bskycheck.com website live tracking tables: - Bluecheck verified users - Last Edu/Gov/ORG domain users - Last countries specific domain users Feedback is welcome #CANADA #US #UK #GERMANY #FRANCE #BRAZIL #JAPAN

I added a supporters wall featuring all the amazing people helping to keep the bskycheck website up: bskycheck.com/about.php?pa... Want to be there? You know what to do! Every ☕️ helps improve and maintain the service. ...plus, you get a shoutout! 🙌

Did a little of bug fixing and improvements on the "you" tool bskycheck.com/userinfo.php -> Now likes and reposts received are displaying accurate information 😜 -> Added best time to post graph and top repliers stats 🎉 Hoping it is useful, let me know if you wish to see other stats/info...👀

I am having some push back from users not agreeing with the categorization of the users I am doing in: bskycheck.com/followstat.php Can you help me 🙏 to change the criteria (and category names)? Here are the criteria used to categorize users:

Now watching

Tomorrow 🎃👻🎃 #bluesky will pass the 40M users milestone. For reference, exactly one year ago, it had 13.1M users.

Changed the bskycheck logo. Better?

The correlation between bskycheck’s monitoring of AT proto and the data from bsky.jazco.dev/stats website is still very strong. bskycheck.com still overestimates the number of users joining by 4-5%

Added back the bot checker tool. Take it with a grain of salt, it is far from flawless. Just a hint about account and if they might be bots.

THIS

Do I have any AT proto dev in my followers? I have a dilemma. For the past hour I see many users registration on a private PDS using clouve.com hosting. In all aspects they are legit ATproto/bluesky users but the DID does not seems to be resolvable. So remove those from my stats or not?
