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?

RSS reader is how I’ve gone tbh.

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

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.
