Server down??
Ivory has not been able to fetch new data in several days now. Typically, when this occurs, the skybridge.fly.dev website also won't load. However, it appears to be loading fine (and has been for most of the time). When I try to refresh the feed in Ivory (both desktop/mac and ios) it reports "Server Failure. Please try again later." (That may be Ivory's error message but it is presumably responding to actual server issues.) Are others seeing this as well? If so, is there any timeline for a fix? I'm truly grateful for the service skybridge has provided and I'm hoping it's not about to vanish.
Same thing happening on (edit) Mona the past week as well. Thought I might try deleting the account and then re-adding, but that process leads to a blank browser window and I can't complete it.
I’ve been unable to login, showing “Permission Denied“ error. Possibly related?
I'm getting a 502 error on https://skybridge.fly.dev
Previously, the splash page was fine but the actual server seemed to be down. Now it seems like the splash page is also down. I'm hoping @videah will see this and be able to give us some good news soon. (I really miss reading Bluesky in Ivory.)
It's not for everyone but running your own instance in fly.io isn't too difficult to set-up, there are some updated instructions in #65
Too bad, it's no longer working. Is there an alternative? Unfortunately, I'm not able to run my own instance.
I'm assuming that it's either hit an API limit from the number of people using it or it's become too expensive with so many people using it. @videah are you willing/able to give an update please?
It's not even sure the project is still alive... Last update is quite far from now.
The live instance appears to be down, but the repository is still solid and relatively easy to deploy as your private server, which is better anyway because it is less likely to be rate-limited by BlueSky.
See Issue #65 for help with this.

~~Is the system back up, on a different url/platform? #90 seems to imply that there's life still to be had.~~ nvm. looks like someone's personal instance.
Any updates on this @expertmanofficial?
@compuguy hey, sorry for responding late, I'm very rarely active on GitHub. Anyways: no, no update. He never responded to me.
So yeah, anyone who is on Bluesky can easily DM him. I tried to get attention of his a few times - he never responded.
The only thing I can say is that if you go to here, read this carefully.
Here's what got my attention:
"The instance of SkyBridge hosted at skybridge.fly.dev is provided as a free public service but currently faces heavy rate limiting from Bluesky due to all the requests coming from a single IPv4 address. If you want a more consistent experience you can host your own instance to avoid this."
Sooo, he does knows about it.
His bluesky profile is videah.net I think.

It's not a big deal @expertmanofficial. By now it's pretty obvious that the public instance of SkyBridge is permanently down. If anyone wants to use this, they're going to have to host it themselves.
