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.

RSS reader is how I’ve gone tbh.

I dont want my news being chosen by a social media algorithm

How did you go about setting your RSS feed up? I want to get into it, but am unsure how to generate a reliable full-coverage feed. Any decent setup guides out there?

Use an app like inoreader to discover feeds.

I personally have programmed my own and host it on web, this is what it looks like: https://me-cfs.github.io/yann/personalhost/newsrssfeed/

Here’s the list (in js but readable) of all my feeds, gives you an idea of what a well rounded rss feed looks like: https://me-cfs.github.io/yann/personalhost/newsrssfeed/feedlist.js

Thanks boss! I'm overwhelmed with how folks just consistently deliver on lemmy.
It really reminds me of the old internet network days

That's kind of what I was worried about, was if it was algorithm based, and if it was, how bad is it pushing content vs showing me what I would be interested in. RSS feeds may be difficult cause I never really committed to any specific publications or sites, so I wouldn't have any specific ones to populate the feed.
