Hello fediverse!This morning we shipped an exciting new version of #Flipboard that enables *anyone* on Flipboard to follow *anyone* in the fediverse.This is the culmination of a ton of work to deeply integrate #ActivityPub into the product. The result is incredibly seamless.Just tap on the search icon in Flipboard and tap the follow button for anyone featured there or that you find in search. You’ll soon start seeing their posts in all of your relevant Flipboard feeds. Check out these screenshots:

@mike this is so exciting! If I understand it correctly, users can subscribe to federated content without needing to create an account on the fediverse, right? Then, if they do want to join the fediverse, they'll have access to more options (like commenting).

@mike I just installed the update, it seems to work very well (finally the Pixelfed aggregation also works).It's a very interesting and promising goal, congratulations. @flipboard is always ahead of everyone! And keep it up!

@docpop Exactly. Starting today every Flipboard user can follow every fediverse user and see their posts in relevant feeds. Also starting today, any Flipboard user can request to federate their Flipboard account which will turn them into a full blown Fediverse user who can be discovered and followed from Mastodon and other fediverse apps.

@hello Thank you! And one really important point to highlight:This is actually a full blown ActivityPub follow. So what that means is that if your Flipboard account is federated it is a full two way connection and you can reply to posts.Also, starting today, any Flipboard user can request to federate their account to gain this two way capability. We are gradually federating more and more accounts as we scale our backend.

@mike Each person/account shows up as a separate magazine, right? Is there an easy way to combine them?

@dan613 Great Q. We definitely need a way to do this. I believe the fediverse should have a notion of multiple feeds for a single account. This would also help enable things like publicly shareable lists. Open to ideas for how to make this happen!

@mike I was thinking more like lists on Flipboard. It's not just for the Fediverse, but any RSS feed like WordPress. I can do it with an external RSS aggregator, but I don't see why Flipboard couldn't do this internally (multiple feeds per magazine).

@mike Okay ich hätte genauer fragen müssen. Soweit hatte ich das wohl schon verstanden. Ich frage mich aber, ob sich das auf die Kultur im fediversum auswirken könnte. Z.b kleben einen schneller Bots oder Trolls am Konto oder hat das ggf andere negative Konsequenzen?

@_ohcoco_ @dan613 Turns out you can do this today. You can log into your Mastodon account directly and then you can access your lists as a flipboard magazine. To do this, go to the following tab (the 4 squares icon), select the accounts sub tab, select mastodon, log into your account, then tap on your account from this tab and you'll see your lists. Screen shots here:

@Mike McCue Android. I see Fediverse sub, but I can't rolling down for hours to find anybody. There are millions accounts on Fediverse(tried to roll down for several minutes, no POTUS, for example). And when I use search, Fediverse sub disappear and in result I can't see anything from Fediverse. 🤷♂️

@mike I checked it with my Mastodon Account and my WordPress blog and it seems to index the posts on Flipboard, but I can't see my Flipboard Account in the followers list?Does flipboard send a real "Follow" request or does it simply subscribe to the outbox in a similar way as with RSS?I would love to debug it a bit, so that it plays nicely with the WordPress plugin, but I can't see any requests to the inbox at all.

@mike Nice! It successfully convinced me to login to my Flipboard account after 10 years. I connected my Fedi account to my Flipboard account and I can load the feed but I can't seem to post anything from my Fedi account thru Flipboard. I hope it is just a temporary glitch.

@pundir You can actually do this by connecting your fedi account to Flipboard. Go to the Following tab (the tab with 4 squares) and select the accounts tab. Then sign in to mastodon and you'll see your home timeline, mentions, lists, etc. and can fully reply, like, etc.

@sneexy @gabboman fair question. I don’t think the fediverse icon works particularly well when scaled down and when placed next to or on top of avatars. Also the vast majority of people have never even seen that icon. Meanwhile the threads fediverse icon is simple and clean, doesn’t rely on color, and works well scaled down. Most of all, whether we like it or not, millions of people are being exposed to this icon everyday on Threads as a symbol of the fediverse so I think it’s a pragmatic choice.

@Mike McCue A new proposal for a Fediverse logo is a Unicode character: ⁂ (U+2042).Most of all, whether we like it or not, millions of people are being exposed to this icon everyday on Threads as a symbol of the fediverse so I think it’s a pragmatic choice.This would not only allow, but actively help Meta assume control over the Fediverse.#FediMeta #FediverseMeta #CWFediMeta #CWFediverseMeta #Fediverse #Asterism #FediverseSymbol #FediverseLogo #Meta #EmbraceExtendExtinguish

@jupiter_rowland That’s a cool suggestion. Will explore that and other options. They key is we need everyone to use the same icon otherwise users will be very confused.

@mike @jupiter_rowland even today not everyone is using the same icon. Many people are using the Mastodon logo when what they are representing is the fediverse, Theads stepped in and made up their own (which I see you are now using) but having Meta be the one to choose symbology for us seems very counter to many of our collective visions. And having each platform and each software all use different symbology is indeed very confusing. Thus this initiative.
