Blacksky PDS users have reported seeing a "too many files open" error across the Bluesky and Blacksky clients. This was a consequence of the PDS migration and should now be resolved. Thank you for your patience as we work on refining our fully independent PDS implementation
The Blacksky PDS is in the process of being migrated – as a consequence, there may be temporary issues seeing posts, posting, or with your account generally. Please bear with us and report any issues to [email protected]
Every time you view or like a post or take most actions on Bluesky or Blacksky your requests go through your Personal Data Server (PDS). It’s also the home of all your data.
To date, we’ve used other people’s software to run Blacksky’s fleet of PDS.
In the next week we’ll be migrating to our own.

Blacksky's fleet of PDSs were down from about 12:45am to 5:30am ET. logins and most requests timed out.
it was not an attack, just an upstream bug, and the immediate issue is resolved (I can post this, for example).
if you're still having trouble logging in, email [email protected].

We’re thrilled by Blacksky’s growth! To make your experience even better, we’re starting 4 weeks of server maintenance. You might see some temporary delays or limitations with Blacksky-only posts, notifications, and likes. We know this is not ideal, but we will update you all regularly!

We are performing repairs and maintenance on our backend server to reduce storage space. As a consequence, your notifications older than 21 days may disappear and the app performance may be impacted or slower for the next 24-48 hours

Blacksky users on a Bluesky PDS may be experiencing some problems, which means the Blacksky app or the Blacksky feeds may be slower or down for those users. Migrating to a Blacksky PDS may also be riskier. Users on the Blacksky PDS (like users with a blacksky.app handle) should be unaffected
