All SkyFeed feeds should now be back online, thanks for your patience! This has been the first and only downtime in the last 4 months.

In case you're wondering what's up canoe. 🛶🤍

Is this skyfeed thing like the only way feeds work on this platform? I dunno how it works basto. 🙁

I've been chronicling my development of a custom feed that doesn't rely on SkyFeed. You basically publish a record to the network that says "hit me on this URL if u want posts," then you have a service serving the posts. Here's an example: feeds.mnem0.synology.me/xrpc/app.bsk...

This is a self-hosted service on my Mac mini serving a few posts where people said a certain phrase. I log them from the firehose, but I could just as easily have a static list I update manually.

So you consume everything, parse, and then publish a feed ..? What's it take to consume the firehose ..?

I am using a client provided by this package: github.com/kcchu/atprot...
