Headsup to anyone who follows @Flipboard accounts:

Some of them post extremely frequently because they're run by news agencies etc, and you're getting a firehose of articles.

You can narrow this down to articles about specific topics by following the account's "magazines", sub-accounts that only show posts on certain topics.

For example @AssociatedPress posts all Associated Press articles, but @entertainment-AssociatedPress is just AP's entertainment posts.

@FediFollows @Flipboard @AssociatedPress Welp, I just used the circles feature of Friendica (they are called lists on Mastodon and kinda work the same). Some of the more noisy are restricted to it, so when I open that circle I get something like 20-30 new posts (or more) in a span of just 2 hours 😁

@petrescatraian

Yeah, you can do it with Lists or equivalent on other platforms too!

But magazines may be easier for some people and is an option that didn't exist before, so I'm trying to highlight it πŸ™‚
