Built on Bluesky, Pinksky brings its Instagram-like app to Android | TechCrunch
Briefly

Pinksky is a newly launched Android app providing an Instagram-like photo-sharing experience that prioritizes user connections over viral content. Developed by Ramon Souza, Pinksky leverages the Bluesky network, allowing users to tap into existing social connections while adhering to Bluesky's limitations, such as a four-photo post cap. Though similar in appearance to Instagram, Souza envisions Pinksky attracting users seeking meaningful interactions. Previously available on iOS, the app features user profiles, photo feeds, and a Stories section, presenting a classic approach to social networking that differentiates it from more content-driven platforms.
Pinksky fits into the third segment - focused more on photos and connections rather than viral and repetitive content, unlike traditional Instagram's more diverse user segments.
The app, built on the Bluesky network, allows users to leverage existing social connections while maintaining open technology values through the AT Protocol.
Pinksky offers a classic, photo-sharing-focused Instagram experience, emphasizing user connections, profiles, and short-lived content, reminiscent of early Instagram.
Developer Ramon Souza created Pinksky to appeal to users seeking a familiar interface but with a distinct purpose of fostering connections rather than chasing virality.
