Flipboard is making good on a major fediverse promise. Late last year, at the same time it announced it would be switching user accounts to ActivityPub, Flipboard said it planned to let users follow users on federated platforms that used ActivityPub from the Flipboard app. Starting Tuesday, that feature is here, meaning that you can follow people from places like Mastodon, Threads, and Pixelfed right inside Flipboard.

    What is Flipboard?

    Seriously, 4 to 6 words is all it would take.

    Flipboard, a social media aggregate app, is making good on a major fediverse promise.

    Is that what it is? Did I guess right?

    How do people like Flipboard? I need to find something to get news now that I’m off Reddit. Is it pretty decent at giving different perspectives in articles or is it pretty much algorithm based on what you’ll prefer?

      I just use Lemmy. Follow the right communities and I don’t feel like I’m in the dark in any way.

        Haven’t gotten to that point yet; I’ve followed/unfollowed a few just due to general spam or some pretty clear biases (whether I agree with them or not).
