Flipboard Expands Its Fediverse Integration to Over 400 Creators
Flipboard announced the expansion of its fediverse integration to 400 creators (including myself) and over 11,000 curated magazines.
With this, creator and their Magazines can be discovered and interacted with on other federated networks like Mastodon and Threads. When people engage with creators and their content across these networks, it will appear in Flipboard’s notification system, which has been updated, including activities by users on Flipboard and on federated networks.
Why It Matters: This marks another step in Flipboard’s push to be fully federated. It follows its initial push of making 1,000 Flipboard magazines federated a few months ago. Now, hundreds more creators and thousands of magazines can be discovered outside Flipboard on Mastodon, Threads, and other federated networks. It also enables two-way communication between Flipboard creators and audiences, whether on Flipboard or other platforms.
Flipboard’s move comes a few weeks after Threads started beta testing a fediverse sharing option, which is helping to draw more attention to decentralized networks. The fediverse will offer a new avenue for creators to be discovered and grow their communities — stay tuned.
