The Catch Up feed is now known as Highline! Like the highlights of your timeline/skyline. And new users of the feed will be defaulted to seeing some recent posts at the top. Happy for feedback, of course.

The Catch Up feed settings page (feeds.mdruker.app) now asks for fewer permissions when you log in

The Recent Posts setting (accessible at feeds.mdruker.app) has now been updated to include reposts and replies as you would normally see in your Following timeline, before showing you a more filtered view of earlier posts

Catch Up feed updates! (This should only show up once on your feed as a news post) -Tap Show More / Show Less on a post to have more or fewer shown from that account -Log in to the personalized settings page at feeds.mdruker.app to adjust replies, reposts, and how much the feed shows you

The Catch Up feed supports this now. Show more / show less will increase or decrease by 1 the number of posts the feed will show you from that account per 24 hours. You can always see and edit those values at feeds.mdruker.app as well.

Updating the default settings so new users of the Catch Up feed will be able to see replies and some reposts. Existing users shouldn't be affected, but if you see something weird, let me know. And you can update settings at feeds.mdruker.app regardless.

New feature for the Catch Up feed now available to test! To use, go to feeds.mdruker.app and log in through bsky.social.

Renamed the "Catch Up on Follows" feed to a catchier "Catch Up". Still the same feed.

I've cleaned up some stuff on the back-end, so you may have noticed some brief downtime. Everything should be working as normal now.

The server ran out of space and is behind again. I'm looking into where all that space keeps going...

New experimental feature for the Catch Up On Follows feed just dropped. Go to feeds.mdruker.app if you want to have a few of the newest posts at the top of your feed before the feed digest section. (The default is 0.)

My database ran out of space, but now that it has enough space the server is behind on updates. Maybe it'll catch up. Let's hope it catches up.

The server will be unavailable temporarily for an update

The feed server got stuck on a bad subscription entry. I pushed a fix and it's moving again. It's behind by around 50 minutes and will take some time to catch up.

Reposts in the feed are back! Login at feeds.mdruker.app to set a percentage of your feed that you want to be the top reposts by accounts you follow

Everything* should be working again! Thanks for your patience. *Reposts are disabled for now but none of y’all have that setting turned on anyway

I’m aware that the feed server is down and will try to fix it today

The feed server is unhappy right now. I'm looking into it.

Hot off the feed presses: the top reposts in your Catch Up On Follows feed! If you want 'em, log in via bluesky at feeds.mdruker.app and set up a repost percent:

Just added a new feed that's like your Following feed but only the posts with links

The server is currently not healthy due to a bad deploy. Sorry! I will try to get it back up as soon as I can.

You can now visit feeds.mdruker.app to update some settings for the Catch Up On Follows feed

Thanks everyone for your interest! I'm still working on making the feed work well. Some things on my radar: -the first load is slow if you have a lot of follows -and... it might generally be slow if you have a _lot_ of follows -looking into some issues with updates to follows -adding replies, maybe

The feed should be a bit faster for those with longer following lists now

The good news is the feed seems to be handling new users fine. The bad news is my engagement metrics are wrong, so I may not be serving actually the most engaged posts. (Will try to fix it soon)

I bumped up the max following count to 30K, and fixed it so hopefully folks with a longer following list folks won't crash the feed 😅

The feed is now operating and the data seems to be consistent on the back end. Next up: some work on the actual content of the feed

The feed is down unfortunately while I try to learn enough to get it working again.

Updated the subscriber to use Jetstream and hopefully be more robust. Now it’s catching up

The feed is currently behind but should catch up over the day. I will be working on making it more resilient over the next few days

If you're seeing this in your feed, welcome! This feed will now try to start indexing posts for you. It should start to populate meaningfully over the next day. It's also experimental and comes with no guarantees at all.
