Today my first-born is turning 18. Utterly incredible how time flies when you have kids. I remember each of these moments as if they were yesterday.

Aaah. Right. That was it. Was just reminded on the reason to "why" I actually turned off BlueSky linking in Friendica: In Friendica I will get every notification I have ever gotten on Bluesky...every single day, just as if they were new notifications. The full-time job of notification management was the reason I turned it off. That'll be the reason I turn it off again then (currently up to 83 notifications, but it keeps going right now...).

That "bridge"/plugin/integration might need a look at by someone clever.

...and just to clarify, the Friendica integration with Bluesky is completely separate from the "regular" bridge most other services of Activitypub uses for integrating with Bluesky.

Hi! I'm sure I've messed something up somewhere, now for how to fix it: all my direct messages go to a 404. I can list the direct messages alright, but when I click the link for a specific message (as in anyone of them) I get taken to (for example) friendica.hellquist.eu/message… which will be a 404.

What have I done? Any ideas on how to fix it? This happened before the latest update too, but I did upgrade to the latest version today (from being 1 version behind).

Just to clarify: this used to work and to my knowledge I haven't actually changed anything in nginx configs etc over the last year, on this instance that has been running perfectly for a couple of years.

Today I browsed the Github issues to see if there was any suggested solution to my problem. If there is I couldn't find it. I did see someone else getting 404's for something and the fix was to ensure the server blocks in the nginx config contained specific configuration lines, but alas, my nginx config already had those lines (and it has been working for literally years).

I also took this opportunity to upgrade my PHP version, from 7.4 (yeah, about time) to 8.3, but sadly that didn't fix it either. I am completely at a loss, and I am apparently the only one who has this so I guess I'll live without direct messages. It isn't like I receive torrents of them anyways (though I have received at least one that I can't read).
