After Flashes would help, but it reads okay to me as-is. It'd perhaps be better if it were "Flashes, a Bluesky-based Instagram alternative, has launched".

This gives me hope that we may someday get a proper Youtube replacement 🥹. I just hope this comes to android soon.

Is there no browser version of it?

I don’t like that my main profile feed shows every picture Ive posted on Bluesky. They’re most screenshots or responses to people etc.. Would be nice if there were a way you could filter those out to say a “bluesky media” feed from pictures you upload specifically to Flashes

In Flashes you can go to your profile and click on Advanced at the top and there’s a setting for Portfolio you can toggle on. Then you get to pick which photos show up in your Portfolio tab. That seems to be the way to curate your feed a little

Thank You! Now if you could reverse how it automatically posts to Bluesky and not your portfolio (I had to go into Advanced >Manage Portfolio) and select what photo I want which is a bit much, it would be the perfect feature I was looking for/

I looked for it in the play store and I found pinksky and I don't know if that's right.

App name is “Flashes for Bluesky”

@jaxonevans.social

Flashes is only available on iOS at the moment. Pinksky is similar, although not nearly as well done.
