My experience early on with the beta version that there were none of the photographers I wanted to follow or engage with using the app which, for me, kinda defeated the purpose. I doubt that’s changed. I’m optimistic about Bluesky’s app, Flashes. But I dont know why.
I think the beta stage has just been to see how it works for displaying the images, uploading etc. There was comparatively such a small pool of photographers testing it that it could compete. Today, I’ve seen a lot of the people I know on IG signing up so should be good to see what happens.
Flashes also looks promising but, as Threads proved, it’s not worth sinking too much effort into any one new platform as you might end up ditching it pretty quickly! 😁 I’ll certainly try flashes too.
