Bluesky is currently experiencing a major outage.

On my desktop browser, my Bluesky feed won’t load at all — it just shows a spinning loading circle. I’m seeing something similar with the mobile app; I can log in, but when I do, the feed doesn’t low. Other Verge colleagues are also experiencing issues.

In an error message on its status page, Bluesky says in a 6:55PM ET message that there are “major PDS networking problems” and that “we are investigating a major outage with Bluesky hosted PDS instances.”

Bluesky didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment. The company also hasn’t posted to its Twitter account about what might be going on.

In November, Bluesky had some issues with slow-loading feeds and notifications because one of its internet providers had downtime because of a cut fiber cable. That outage happened on what Bluesky said at the time was its “highest traffic day ever.”
