We finally got accepted as a Publisher (yay!), and we have a LOT of articles that fall into different categories. Our site is able to generate all kinds of RSS feeds, and we have special topic hubs set up in a number of different ways.
Is it better to just have one magazine for the whole site, or should we split off into different magazines - one for the Fediverse, one for Bluesky, one for our Podcast, etc?
Just want to follow best practices here. Maybe @mike has an opinion? 😁
My first impressions with the #Fediverse, #Flipboard and #activitypub. I am still feeling my way around the environment. I am not thrilled about having so many accounts all over the place and it doesn’t seem like they are all connected. I would eventually like to see a seamless connection between my Flipboard magazines, my Flipboard account, my mastodon account and my threads account. I would like to get to a place where I can communicate with my followers and build meaningful #communities

So I was just looking at Flipboard and...it looks pretty cool. 😲 Lots of articles so seems like something I would enjoy using. 😆 Not sure why I haven't used it, I did have an account a while back but ended up deleting it. Kind of tempted to make a new account. 🤔
What are your favorite Flipboard Magazine feeds that you think people should be following and why?
Here are a few of my faves:
🌠 Following the fediverse: curated stories about the rise of the fediverse and the decline of the walled gardens as social media transitions from closed to open @following
🇮🇹 Bella Italia: curated stories about the rich culture of Italy -- helping me plan my next big adventure @italy
😎 Mia's Queue: stories about taste, culture, curation and community @mia
🌐 World History: from the history of ancient Rome to the industrial revolution, I learn so much from this curator who is also a history teacher @world
👨🍳 The Recipe Exchange: a feed where a community of over 150 culinary experts and serious home cooks share their go-to recipes and cooking tips @the
Let's get #MagazineMonday going and share your favorite feeds to follow!
flipboard.com is a remarkable collection of accounts that are connected to the Fediverse. There are 5,757 accounts from them that are known on this server (we relay with them and get all their content), and these accounts post about every topic imaginable.
You can follow any of their accounts on your favorite Fediverse app! It's great!
I relay with their server so that searches return a richer result set.
Today, I had to create an extra sidekiq process just to handle the surge of posts from them. But, I think it's worth it.
If you have a specific interest, you might find an appropriate account to follow. I'll be looking through their accounts.
Here's a tiny screenshot to show how specialized some accounts are.
Do you know @Flipboard?
It’s a really nice service for getting news for a wide range of topics.
In the past when my iPad was still mine exclusively I used the #flipboard app A LOT. It's like a magazine you can flick through 😍
Flipboard is federating since some time already!
This is simply amazing, because you can follow certain topics via your favourite #fediverse / #mastodon client and curators get interact with readers.
I really appreciate that Flipboard's ActivityPub implementation turns on full text search by default. It's the right choice for discoverability and user experience.
Now if only Mastodon would do something more to prompt users to consider enabling full text search for their accounts.
Wonderful People are over there at #Flipboard. We love the posts, that reach us. So many fantastic pictures, so many wonderful people. Hey you, at Flipboard, we here at Mastodon love you.
It feels so good, to be united. Flipboard, #Fediverse or #Mastodon? Who cares? We are the ONE.
We've received a few questions lately from the community inquiring about what Flipboard is, so we wanted to share a bit about our mission to inform and inspire the world.
You might also be familiar with our moves to federate our platform.
We are also an award-winning app/website where publishers, creators, and community members curate content about topics ranging from politics to philosophy. If you want to check it out, download it here, follow topics that interest you, and let us know what you think. We'd love to hear from you.
