I was referring to both to say you can get similar functionality on Sync, but Flipboard has its own charm.
It’s fancy. Sync for Lemmy really lets you customize things, but I do like the default Flipoard flip actions, font sizes, layout. You can make custom groupings of content you want to view. I forget what the branded term is, but it’s like you can make your own magazine and flip through it.
If it bothers you, you can adjust settings to where it doesn’t really add any difficulty to the game.
