I’m happy to hear this but honestly I’m confused as to how flipboard is supposed to work with federated media. I thought it was basically an RSS aggregator? Could someone explain

It’s more than that. You can run your own feed by selecting news stories and website articles and then share it with others; essentially being the editor for your own custom newspaper.
