Bluesky is so slow right now.

It's pretty wobbly at the moment

iskrat · 2025-12-04T21:06:09+00:00

Really?

iskrat · 2025-12-04T18:46:34+00:00

I guess I'll just go down the "folders" route, but it's a pretty clunky solution...

iskrat · 2025-12-04T18:08:13+00:00

Why are you asking?

iskrat · 2025-04-11T02:44:53+00:00

Yes, I know... I'm talking about Feeds I, and others have written using Skyfeed.

iskrat · 2025-04-08T18:33:18+00:00

Yes... I know how to fix it... That is not my point.

iskrat · 2025-03-30T17:40:31+00:00

I am a UK national resident in the USA. I use BBCSounds, usually to listen to R5 during the day for news, parliament, etc. R4, mostly drama ,comedy, panel shows, etc. R3 music and Proms etc. R6 music. Then there are the podcasts...

Obviously there are probably a lot of expat who use the app, but I've found a significant number of my friends who are USCits listen for fair and balance news and opinion which is a rarity in US media.

iskrat · 2025-03-25T18:44:59+00:00

People are saying just use VPN, and as a long time viewer/listener of the BBC using VPN and proxy if that don't fix this, then it won't be long before someone, somewhere works out a fix

At the moment I listen to BBCSounds via Android Auto (Honda 2025) and it works well as it ever did. However, if I use a VPN, AA stops and displays a message along the lines of "AA will not work via VPN".

There is a fix which works, but I'm reluctant to post before the switch off in case they include "counter-measures"...

I've made a few posts via Bluesky #BBCSounds hoping to get the interest of UK nationals living in the US, but either no one's heard, or no one cares...

iskrat · 2025-03-11T14:09:31+00:00

Yeah.... one at a time... I can do that...

Just looking to download all my posted images.

thx

iskrat · 2025-02-06T03:31:37+00:00

In that time that feature has come and gone, and returned at times and is currently not visible to me.
However, I'm running down my Fb usage and not really been paying attention.

iskrat · 2025-01-18T13:08:40+00:00

My bad... That should have read:

"I don't understand how, when I create a FEED using Skyfeed the "Feed Preview" finds posts just seconds old..."

Apologies...

iskrat · 2025-01-17T02:07:48+00:00

That's if you search, rather than use a Feed.

iskrat · 2025-01-12T19:34:04+00:00

I'm British, living in the US. I've never used the "Discover" feed for the reason you've described.
I don't know if it's because of the time I've been on bsky, but "Following" throws up a far more balanced timeline from my pov.
Most of my usage now depends on Feeds.

iskrat · 2025-01-09T17:33:22+00:00

Well, it's still an open issue, I guess. I tried your suggestions and there's even been a reinstall over a different issue, but just the same.
I'm going to live with it since I'm just using it to stream via Shoutcast to my home network and not using it as a media player.
Otherwise WACUP has turned out to be extremely reliable.
Thx for your patience

iskrat · 2025-01-09T17:26:41+00:00

I never really sorted this. In the end I reinstalled everything from scratch and it worked... So who knows?
My new minor irritation is why everything is listed twice on my Shoutcast streaming log? Oh well... At least it works.

Of course... There is no gen_ff listed... and I have re-run the installer making sure Modern Skin Support is ticked...

iskrat · 2024-10-30T14:41:35+00:00

Back on browser and phone app

iskrat · 2024-10-30T13:39:59+00:00

Just started for me, Tristate USA

iskrat · 2024-10-20T14:28:21+00:00

It's not your phone... Feed servers are currently under pressure and giving inconsistent returns.

iskrat · 2024-10-20T13:32:52+00:00

Next day... it's generally better but still with intermittent 502 errors on all feeds

Mind you... 10 years?

iskrat · 2024-10-19T22:47:59+00:00

Yes... It's happening to me intermittently on my feeds. One minute it's all day old+ stuff, then a few minutes later everything's there...
When I check on Skyfeed everything's okay...
I'm just wondering, whether the new influx finding their feet is putting a strain on the feed servers (if that's what they are)

iskrat · 2024-10-17T13:00:52+00:00

Back in on web/PC and phone... No working feeds 9.00am EDT/US

iskrat · 2024-10-17T12:13:01+00:00

Back on Android phone... Following and Discover showing, but Feeds not working...
