What happens when Bluesky goes down?

Feed not loading or showing old posts

Bluesky's algorithmic and custom feeds can stall independently. Users may see cached content or an empty timeline during outages.

Posts failing to publish

The AT Protocol write path can degrade separately from read operations, causing posts to fail or appear stuck in a pending state.

Custom feeds returning errors

Custom feed generators are third-party services. If a feed generator's server is down, that specific feed won't load even if Bluesky is operational.

Handle verification not completing

Domain-based handle verification relies on DNS propagation and AT Protocol identity resolution, which can fail during infrastructure issues.

How do I troubleshoot Bluesky issues?

1
Refresh the app or browser tab
Force-refresh Bluesky to clear stale cache. On mobile, pull down on the feed to trigger a manual refresh.
2
Switch to a different feed
If your custom feed is broken, try switching to the default "Following" or "Discover" feeds to determine if the issue is feed-specific.
3
Try the web app
Visit bsky.app in a browser. If the web version works but the mobile app does not, the issue may be app-specific.
4
Check your PDS (Personal Data Server)
If you self-host a PDS, verify it is running and syncing correctly. Issues with your PDS will prevent posts from federating.
5
Check status.bsky.app and wait
If the official status page shows an active incident, wait for the Bluesky team to resolve it before troubleshooting further.

What can I do during a Bluesky outage?

Switch to Mastodon or Threads

During Bluesky outages, Mastodon and Threads offer similar text-first social feeds as temporary alternatives.

Access via alternative AT Protocol clients

Third-party Bluesky clients like Graysky or Skeets may use different caching layers and could remain partially functional during partial outages.

Draft posts offline

Write your posts in a notes app and publish them once Bluesky comes back online to avoid losing content.

Frequently asked questions about Bluesky status

Is Bluesky down right now?

Check status.bsky.app and API Status Check, which links the official status page alongside community outage reports. If both show incidents, Bluesky is likely down for many users.

Why is my Bluesky feed not loading?

A stalled feed can be caused by a platform-wide outage or an issue specific to your custom feed generator. Try switching to the default "Following" feed to isolate the problem.

Why can I not post on Bluesky?

Post failures usually indicate write-path degradation on the AT Protocol network. Check status.bsky.app for active incidents and try again after a few minutes.

Why is my custom Bluesky feed broken?

Custom feeds rely on third-party feed generators. If the generator's server is down, that feed won't load even when Bluesky itself is operational. Contact the feed creator if the issue persists.

Does Bluesky have a public status page?

Yes, Bluesky publishes infrastructure and service status at status.bsky.app with incident history and current component health.
