This might be the first great fediverse app.

Looks like it’s for feeds and the fediverse

    This is exactly what we need to get the masses off corporate social media sites.

    An app that shows content from across social services has more appeal than being on just bluesky or insta.

        The blog states it’s still missing a lot of stuff and it’s a work in progress. If they have to implement every type of fediverse post like peertube, Pixelfed. Loops, etc it’s gonna take some effort.

        I assume that’s the goal after reading the post but of course we will see.

    I JUST foung out about this, and was about to post this exact same thing. Except I was debating whether to post the Daily Tech News Show episode with timestamp, or if I should post the Engadget article I found.

    AAAHHH!!! IT MAKES ME EXCITED!!!

    Please let this come to Android!!! AND!!! The Flipboard company itself is now part of the Fediverse! So this app may end up being the most complete way to browse and experience PeerTube. I’ve tried 3 different times now to browse Peertube, and 3 different times I’ve gotten WILDLY different experiences. Part of the problem is I don’t have a peertube account. I don’t know which instance to sign up on.

    But with an app like this, I could sign up somewhere, and just pull all the feeds of my own interest into ME. I could search all the instances for my own interests, instead of searching for instances, and hoping there’s something on that instance that matches my interests.

    I’ve been in a tech mood lately. I’ve frankensteined the hell out of my PC.

    If this works, and works well, it could be a game changer for decentralized platforms.
