Think of a publisher, and there's a good chance they'll have a Flipboard account. Now, we're in the process of federating them. Publishers — like just about everyone we know — have a hard time getting their heads around the fediverse and what it means to federate your Flipboard account, so @jejord has written this blogpost. In it, she explains the fediverse, what Flipboard federation looks like, the value of our Magazine feeds, and why we think all this is important. "The fediverse is potentially the One Ecosystem to Rule Them All, and is estimated to grow to 170M users by the end of 2024," writes Jessica.
In the words of Fatboy Slim, "we've come a long long way together." Here, @miaq breaks down Flipboard's federation journey so far.
"We could [federate Flipboard] with a quick flip of the switch but we’ve chosen to act more intentionally," she writes. "We’re taking measured steps to test, learn, and ensure that everything we’re doing stays true to our values and those of the fediverse. Maintaining quality is top of the list."
I've decided to try #Flipboard again as a #GoogleNews alternative. I don't like the interface as much and the ads are not intrusive, but I like that it has some #fediverse integrations with #Mastodon and #pixelfed. There's also apparently a YouTube integration, but it failed to connect for me.
Canadian legend Jann Arden loves Flipboard! Here's a clip of her talking on her podcast about how she's using it to plan her mudlarking trip to the U.K.
If I was to write a #blog what should I write about? Food and Travel are already saturated. I already write about #flipboard. Suggestions are welcome and thanks ahead of time. #writing#publishing#travel#food
Flipfam! I am a big fan of history and of photography. Today I am sharing a great storyboard by @salvomic. The reason I like it so much it’s because, it has valuable content. I enjoy reading and learning from curation like this. Thank you, @foto for curating this inspiring content
Ich nutze viel lieber #RSS-Reader für News, Blogs & Co. Online-Abonnente, als dies über @Flipboard zu konsumieren aber auf der anderen Seite macht dies das #Fediverse um so populärer und anerkannter in der Masse.
»"The Future is Federated" – Flipboard beginnt kompletten Einstieg ins Fediverse:
Bei #Flipboard ist man überzeugt, dass die Ära des Fediverse angebrochen ist und will komplett dabei sein. Bis #April soll die #App komplett angebunden sein.«

There are so many updates happening on Google it’s destroying the publishing business. Or is it? It’s time to start experimenting with other platforms to drive traffic to your websites. On of these is Flipboard combined with the Fediverse. The first thing to do is to change your thinking. It’s no longer about keywords but now you have to cater to readers and their interests. #flipboard#blog#google#mastodon#fediverse#reading
Hello (again) fediverse! We just federated our Flipboard Threads account, can't believe it took us this long. If you also forgot to do this, go to you Threads profile settings, under 'account' turn on fediverse sharing. By doing this, people on other networks can follow what you share on Threads. The future is open!
