Mike McCue - Hello Fediverse. I’m posting this tonight from my federated Flipboard profile! We’re now testing our #ActivityPub integration starting with my account. You can follow me here to see all the stories I’m curating about things like startups, photography and of course, the #Fediverse. Curious to hear your thoughts on how this is working. We’ll incorporate your feedback as we make more progress on federating Flipboard. Stay tuned for lots more soon.
Neat! I have to admit I’ve never heard of Flipboard (I’m not known for my broad experience in social media). From the summary I read just now it sounds like Flipboard is a kind of news aggregator? If so, that’s right up the alley of sites like Lemmy and Kbin instances. So a good match for federating here.
It’s basically an RSS reader (with a bunch of curated feeds) with a nice interface. I’ve used it off and on and found it to be no better or worse than a lot of other mainstream news readers.
I only know Flipboard as bloatware on a Samsung phone.
