Unusual Spike in Tightknit RSS Feed Messages Recorded Overnight

·Aug 05, 2026 01:07 PM(edited)·

Sooo I'm not sure why this happened but it seems like the RSS feeds from Tightknit went all out in the middle of the night. I don't know if a backfill happened or what, but we got a TON of messages in our internal Slack channel that's connected to the RSS feeds.

Hey Beth S. not exactly sure what could have happened. What is "News Alerts"? Either way we can file a ticket to see what might have caused it - we haven't made any changes on RSS Feeds in the last few months so not sure what it might be. Linear Asks file a bug on the Eng team

Ohhh hmmm, maybe it's on our side? I gave the RSS feed links to someone in IT who hooked it up to the Slack channel, so it's possible something happened with that setup. I'll ping them about it too

Hey Beth S. this was actually from our side. Sorry about that - it was a one-time "updated" time bug that made RSS think all posts were "new". I'm posting an announcement about what happened shortly.
