What is the Blacksky Web App?

Blacksky.community is a web app (can only be accessed via a web browser) that assembles all the data on the network.


How to access the Blacksky Web App?

Go to Blacksky.community and log in or create an account. Once you are logged in, you will be able to immediately access your account, feeds, etc.

You can also use our web app with any PDS. This means that if you host your own PDS or are even a Bluesky user, you can log into our web app with your credentials. Our moderation, community guidelines, and TOS still apply.

Currently, there may be pages that do not have blobs (profile images) and full follower counts shown due to backfilling. Backfilling is the process of syncing all the data in the network from scratch. At the time of the Blacksky web app launch, ~50% of accounts were synced. This process will take time, but you will still be able to use your account as usual.


Features

Main Features:

  • Built-in moderation service (you do not have to subscribe to our moderation service via the web app). Bluesky data is viewable, but is under our moderation for the full web app, not just as a labeler or PDS moderation tool.

  • Blacksky feed is automatically built in.

  • If your account is banned or suspended by Bluesky, our web app automatically copies that moderation decision, but if you submit an appeal, we will investigate the ban, and if it does not go against our TOS, you will regain immediate access to your account.

  • If you receive a label from Bluesky moderation, such as ‘rude’ or ‘sexual content’, it will appear on our web app, but you can appeal it here, and we will investigate it against our own moderation and remove the label from your account via our web app (if you are on our PDS).

Things to Remember

Bookmarks, Drafts, and Mutes

  • Bookmarks, Drafts, and Mutes on the Blacksky apps differ from your Bluesky app ones. You will need to redo these functions within the Blacksky App. This data is private and thus specific to which app you're logging into.

Blocks

  • Blocks are universal across all apps. This means that if you had someone blocked on Bluesky, then they are also blocked on Blacksky.

DMs

  • If you have been banned from Bluesky but are unbanned by Blacksky, you do not have access to DMs because they are Bluesky-specific and closed-source. We encourage you to use Germ as an alternative to be able to talk privately with those on our web app.

If you encounter any issues while using our web app or mobile app, please send an email to support@blacksky.app.
