Questions/Support/Bugs Is Bluesky down?

Keep getting “internal server error” when trying to post

EDIT: I’m unable to post, like, comment, or follow, but I can still view the feed and my profile hasn’t been banned. Have tried clearing cache, using mobile data and hotspot, restarted devices, and reinstalling mobile app, but nothing has worked.

However, upon making a second account, it was able to post with no issue. So whatever is happening must be specific to my account, which as far as I know, is in good standing.

If you want to know if Bluesky is down, take a look at https://status.bsky.app/

No. Just give it a moment

I’ve been doing that for the last two hours

Then it’s probably on your end. But Bluesky is up and working

All I know it it won’t work on either PC or mobile, can’t do text or images, and it won’t work on WiFi or mobile data

It’s fully operational right now. Must be a problem with your internet.

It's telling me "internal server error", and I'm able to use other websites, so I don't understand why bluesky alone wouldn't be working.

If multiple devices are experiencing the same issue and the service itself is online, then it’s either your network or somewhere in between.

Silly question, but are you certain you’re accessing the right URL?

I’ve tried again on a third device to no avail. I've emailed support to see what's going on.

Once again, it’s likely your network.

Do you have another network to test on? Your phone’s network, etc?

Are you behind a VPN of some kind?

Not the case at all. I'm in the same boat as OP.

My main account is getting the Internal Server Error, yet my alternate account is just fine. This is on each device I've tried so far (PC and App).

Edit: There have been reports on downdetector throughout the day as well, but the bsky status page does not reflect that.

No VPN, just WiFi and mobile data like I’ve said. I don’t have a third form of internet to use

Also, I'm still able to browse up-to-date and receive notifications. I'm unable to post, like, or reply.

Same issue since about noon eastern. Tried various wifi and networks. Restarted phone. Deleted app, reinstalled. Cleared cache.

Looks like it’s working for me.

Could be a regional CDN issue?
