Surf is a new, Flipboard-developed open social web browser designed to curate, aggregate, and display feeds from decentralized platforms like Bluesky, Mastodon, and PixelFed, alongside RSS feeds, podcasts, and Threads. It aims to unify the "open web" into a single, customizable feed-based experience. Key Features and Aspects of Surf: Open Social Integration: Surf connects to Mastodon, Bluesky, and other ActivityPub-enabled platforms. Custom Feeds: Users can build personalized, topic-based feeds (e.g., sports, hobbies) and share them. Unified Experience: It aggregates content from multiple, fragmented platforms into a single interface. Content Curation: It features "Starter Sets," which are pre-populated curated lists to help users get started. Multi-Modal Viewing: Offers different modes for content consumption, including video-focused (TikTok-like) and podcast views. Availability: Currently in private beta for iOS and Android.
This site is really cool. You can combine content from multiple platforms into a single interface. Especially useful for people who are on both Bluesky and Mastodon. The app is still in private beta, but I set up my account and created a feed in my web browser. surf.social/discover
