Last year, it was Mastodon; this year, it’s Bluesky. This upcoming decentralized social media app is getting a lot of attention as a potential alternative to Twitter. It’s another destination for people to migrate to after leaving the Musk-owned social media platform. Now, according to Engadget, you can use Flipboard to browse your Bluesky feed.
In case you don’t know what Bluesky is, this app is backed by Jack Dorsey, one of the founders of Twitter. This is meant to be a Twitter alternative that will prioritize decentralization. The app has been in development since 2019, and it is still in beta testing. We’re not sure exactly when the app will launch, but it’s going to be pretty soon.
As for Flipboard, this app has been around for a while. It will aggregate articles from different sites and publications and display them on a feed. You will scroll through your feed to access all of the latest articles. If you want to stay up to date with all of your favorite news, then you should give it a try.

This move is part of Bluesky’s plan to take on Twitter. Also, this is a part of Flipboard’s plan. The newsfeed platform has integrated with another decentralized social media platform, Mastodon. With this integration, Flipboard is now a much more desirable news aggregation platform.
Using Flipboard, you’ll be able to flip through your Bluesky feed. This is extremely useful if you happen to use both apps. Instead of hopping from app to app, you can see your news articles and your social media feed all in one place. This is a very interesting integration, as Bluesky is not even out of beta testing Yet.
As Twitter continues to fumble, other platforms seem to be conspiring to steal as many people from it as they can. A lot of people have been claimed by Mastodon, and even Hive Social is getting a bit of a following. Bluesky is the latest, and we’ll just have to see how it fares.
