My first extremely literally blue sky post, repeating some photos from the bad place while trying out @flashes.blue

Perhaps @flashes.blue or @sprk.so could do, but imo there needs to be a big push towards a single app view – the way #atprotocol works is too complex for most to parse initially, they just wanna be pointed towards the new app & know their friends/institutions/etc will be there – rest comes later.

@flashes.blue Why's it's taking so long for @flashes.blue to come to Android, isn't it about time it did, people need an alternative to the toxic Meta rubbish I/others with any sense won't touch! Come on why should crApple get everything first! Won't touch their crap Trump/MAGA funding junk

Oh, there is one! @flashes.blue! Sadly not for Android yet... let's see if we can do something about it

Ich habe gerade gelernt, dass es sowas wie Pixelfed im Fediverse auch in der ATmosphere gibt: www.flashes.blue Leider (für mich) aktuell nur für iOS #bluesky #atmosphere #photo

Hello @flashes.blue & @bsky.app 5/11/26 #MFA @massartboston A fragile armature holding only tension, balance, and possibility. Layer by layer, translucent paper slowly transformed the structure into something closer to a body—soft, imperfect, shifting through light and shadow.

Please have her post these to @flashes.blue - they deserve an audience!!!

5/10/26, 9:20 PM

Nein. @pinkleap.app ist mir neu und @flashes.blue gibt's leider nicht für Android. Also nutze ich notgedrungen @grain.social (grain.social/profile/did:...).

There are two wolves inside me, one of them says go back to Instagram because my friends are there and the other one says join @flashes.blue because fuck meta

5/10/26, 6:21 PM

So, if I post on @grain.social it can be seen on @flashes.blue ? Doesn't help me at all as long as Flashes isn't available for Android. 😠

5/10/26, 6:04 PM

@flashes.blue is now interoperable with @grain.social and @sprk.so displaying stories that were created in any of these apps.

5/10/26, 5:36 PM

Major @flashes.blue release. Hashtags now automatically turn into feeds once there are more than 10 photos. You can subscribe to them in @bsky.app as well. Check the feeds tab under @trending.flashes.blue

5/10/26, 5:33 PM

I noticed, too. I remembered that you (and @pinkleap.app) display the pronouns I had set with @flashes.blue (green circle in screenshot RHS), and I wanted to check whether you also display labeller pronouns (like @boostblue.bsky.social in screenshot LHS), but your web page was "temporarily paused".

@flashes.blue update waiting for review. This update is going to be 🔥

5/8/26, 11:03 PM

Meta will remove optional end‑to‑end encryption from Instagram DMs on May 8, 2026, reversing Zuckerberg’s 2019 encryption pledge and restoring Meta’s access to scan message content and comply with law‑enforcement requests. Another reason to move to @grain.social @pinksky.app or @flashes.blue

5/8/26, 9:27 AM

www.flashes.blue va con ATProto, puedes usar tu cuenta de Eurosky

5/8/26, 8:40 AM

Neben Microblogging-Apps gibt es aber auch Foto-Apps für die ATmosphere - so wird das Ökosystem rund um atproto genannt: Zum Beispiel @flashes.blue - die Instagram-Alternative aus Berlin. Noch nicht in Europa verfügbar ist die TikTok-Alternative @skylight.social.

5/6/26, 8:47 AM

That’s perfect timing. There‘s going to be some exciting news coming out of @flashes.blue next week. A

We need boots on the ground when this happens to tell everyone about @flashes.blue @sprk.so and @anisota.net when this happens

@flashes.blue coming to android anytime soon?

5/1/26, 1:02 PM

We already have @flashes.blue for the slideshow view. The bluesky app can retain the grid view as the default view for media.

4/30/26, 5:54 AM

Thank you so much for the profile media tab with that three-column layout of square images! After 984 posts with @flashes.blue (which has such a media tab, too), I noticed that the app has cut off the bottom 4% of most of my images on upload, leaving them all badly cropped! (1/2)

4/29/26, 4:20 PM

@sebastian.eurosky.social the support for @flashes.blue in Jasper seems a little weird to me as a proposal since it’s fundamentally just moving Instagram to Bluesky. I might close the issue for now.

4/28/26, 12:44 AM

It would great if there was an app where one could upload content like this to @bsky.app @flashes.blue along with the other platforms. Maybe someones in the @atproto.com @atmosphere.community is already building?

4/27/26, 10:25 PM

Es ist tatsächlich tricky, in der Photographie ist's leider ähnlich. Es passiert ein bisschen was auf Basis des AT Protokolls z.B. @pinksky.app oder @flashes.blue Viel Erfolg!

4/27/26, 2:16 PM

My copy of Doorways of #Chicago came this week! I followed this IG account by Ronnie Frey for a while before quitting FB and IG and enjoyed his photos of my favorite city. I wish he would either also post on @bsky.app and/or @flashes.blue but at least for now I have this incredible 📕.

4/26/26, 11:06 AM

Just use @flashes.blue

4/25/26, 6:18 AM

we still need an artist focused app up in here y’all. no reason you can’t just use bsky lexicon and separate ones for folders. #atprotoidea also : @flashes.blue and @heron.tunji.dev are doing more custom things like this - e.g. on flashes i have a portfolio tab just showing nice pics

4/23/26, 5:07 AM

i mean, there is @flashes.blue if you want an Instagram-style experience with media carousels and all. so i question the necessity of this update. again, however, higher quality for images is a good update.

4/23/26, 2:48 AM

Quer uma alternativa ao Instagram? flashes.blue (iOS) pinksky.app (Multiplataforma) Toma esses dois >:3 (Recomendo usar o flashes se tiver iPhone ao invés do pinksky, ele é mais bonito e inclui Liquid Glass, então encaixa certinho no OS)

@flashes.blue oauth when? can’t use until app passwords are retired

4/22/26, 2:21 PM

@sebastian.eurosky.social here's an issue for the @flashes.blue integration, I'd work on it properly but i'm still in recovery.

4/21/26, 12:40 PM

I'm also interested if there are any plans for cooperation between @grain.social and @flashes.blue 🤔

4/20/26, 6:35 PM

@flashes.blue my @eurosky.social hosted account cannot connect :(

4/18/26, 11:46 AM

Any chance I can get support for @flashes.blue in there? Can I submit a PR?
