Bluesky is back up after a major outage
Bluesky experienced a major outage on Thursday evening that lasted around an hour.
On my desktop browser, my Bluesky feed wouldn’t load at all, just showing a spinning loading circle. I saw something similar with the mobile app; I could log in, but when I did, the feed didn’t show. Other Verge colleagues were also experiencing issues. Now, though, it looks like things have fully recovered.
In a 6:55PM ET message on its status page, Bluesky said that that there were “major PDS networking problems” and that “we are investigating a major outage with Bluesky hosted PDS instances.” In a 7:38PM ET message, it said that “we have identified a likely root cause and are rolling out a fix to the Bluesky PDS fleet.”
At 7:54PM ET, Bluesky CTO Paul Frazee said that “we are back” and that Bluesky is “still clearing out the situation.” Bluesky’s status page also says that all systems are operational.
Bluesky didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment.
In November, Bluesky had some issues with slow-loading feeds and notifications because one of its internet providers had downtime because of a cut fiber cable. That outage happened on what Bluesky said at the time was its “highest traffic day ever.”
Updates, April 24th: Bluesky said it was rolling out a fix, and now it appears the site is back to normal.
