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.
Kind of like how RSS/Atom is not useful anymore. Most feeds don’t contain the actual articles, in an attempt to increase clicks and ad revenue. That’s just sad, I miss the old internet.
There are some RSS readers that will download the actual URL and apply “reader mode” on the page to present the full article. I think FreshRSS has such a plugin.
Also many RSS reader apps provide the same functionality. ReadYou on Android and Reeder5 on iOS for example.
It does! I haven’t configured mine yet but I use Feedme’s mobilizer to do the same thing at the moment.
