You can use @skeetsapp.com for that.

We're aiming at giving people a channel to communicate short-lived posts (e.g. around events and such). But still figuring things out. It will def not be the TikTokization of Flashes :)

this feature will focus on photos and will totally be optional. You could turn it off in the app.

You mean you want youtube videos to appear in Flashes?

User account stores (PDSs) hold the data that @flashes.blue works with. Most of those PDSs are currently operated by Bluesky, but users have the option to host their own PDSs (there is no admin that can keep them from doing so). In the fall we'll have independent PDSs with @eurosky.social
