“When Imperfect Systems Are Good, Actually: Bluesky’s Lossy Timelines,” n.d. https://jazco.dev/2025/02/19/imperfection/
Quite interesting article on how #bluesky manages table writes to user timelines.
tldr; if you follow more users than let’s say 2000 and one of the people you follow post something it’s possible you won’t see it as it’s never written to your timeline.
From engineering point of view this sounds like a bug or issue on architecture level. Users are never notified that they won’t see new post. But at the same time they probably would not see it either way due to their feed being polluted by extreme flood of posts generated by 2000 people.
I’m not sure how mastodon solves this issue and I’m also not 100% convinced that strategy made by bluesky is correct. For example if someone follows 2000 people who don’t post a lot this approach would prevent them from seeing new posts.
Conclusion. Just use #mastodon.
