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.

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?

It's fancy. Sync for Lemmy really lets you customize things, but I do like the default Flipoard flip actions, font sizes, layout. You can make custom groupings of content you want to view. I forget what the branded term is, but it's like you can make your own magazine and flip through it.

I am confused. Are you referring to Sync or Flipboard?

I was referring to both to say you can get similar functionality on Sync, but Flipboard has its own charm.
