Hundreds of users have been affected by online disruptions, with Bluesky’s official status page showing the status ‘some systems are down’.
The outage started early today morning, and many found their Home and Explore feeds completely broken.
The incident took place in the Eastern region of the United States, while crowd-backed status pages saw a marked increase in complaints about the app, feeds and its delays.
The outage appears to be affecting many users, as the app returns messages such as “Failed to load feeds” and “Unable to connect.” Please check your internet connection and try again. »
On the other hand, Bluesky’s own numbers still show good overall availability, which makes the problem more obvious: a service can appear stable on paper and still be disruptive for users in a specific region.
Let’s see where the outage occurs and causes internet outages for hundreds of users.
At the time of writing, Bluesky, while updating the status of the outages, said, “We are starting to see a rapid recovery, but many users and services are still affected. »
The outages have affected eastern regions of the United States since the morning and linked the disruption to an issue with an upstream service provider.
Bluesky added that it is working with this provider to restore full service as soon as possible.
However, as of now, Bluesky’s official status page still states that the incident is ongoing.
