Thanks so much for your interest! FYI the app is NOT available yet. I hope to start an open Testflight beta next week and will post the invite here.

No because your username is set with bsky.social and you’d use the same account details to sign in. Essentially, think of Flashes as a different view (or front-end) as Bluesky, but built with a focus on being functionally similar to Instagram.
Yes! The creator @seabass.bsky.social noted that he has just launched @bluescreen.blue on testflight, and that @flashesapp.bsky.social will be very soon! I'd take the time to switch from Meta. It takes a day or so for the download request, and delete account is hidden on meta apps. Cheers!
It is a big hope, but I am hoping the creator of Apollo for Reddit, @selig.bsky.social might team up with @seabass.bsky.social and make a bluesky/reddit competitor. Wrap Bluesky up in all the packages in the best way. Twitter, IG, TikTok, and Reddit all in one. Power to the people!
THANK YOU @flashesapp.bsky.social ! I love that we can get off all Meta etc soon!
To everyone waiting for news here. The dev has finished first the tiktok alternative Bluescreen, which is already available on beta for iOS and waiting to get final approval for release in the AppStore. He wrote yesterday about it and commented this: bsky.app/profile/seab...
Flashes will be next.
He hasn’t, but: bsky.app/profile/blue...
I am not. But I’m a solo dev specialized in iOS / iPad OS development so this is what I can deliver at this moment. I’m confident that with the proper funds I can pay an Android dev to build this in no time.
More info on release: bsky.app/profile/blue...
Will come very very soon. @bluescreen.blue and @flashesapp.bsky.social share much of the same code base, so both are almost at the same stage. However, Flashes was a little more difficult to finish on time since it incorporates more media types (images) and there are more options (filters, etc.)
Don’t want to leave FB because of marketplace? Use craigslist.org instead! It’s owned by Craig Newmark, a philanthropist who in December 2022 pledged to give nearly all his wealth to charity!
I like old Instagram so much. New Instagram is just the worst! Can't wait for @flashesapp.bsky.social !!!
