@Flipboard
I am connecting with Mastodon account and I noticed toot body and "posted a story" message doesn't appear in items but the article body instead in my tablet (app version 4.3.25), I prefer it and I want to see it also on smartphone (currently using same app version 4.3.25).

Question for @Flipboard

Is there a way to flip @lisamelton's coverage of the Hush Money Trial into a magazine to follow that way? Her curation is :boost_requested:🥇

645 days after setting up my own Mastodon instance, I finally tackled tuning my Postgres database config last wk & today setup multiple Sidekiq Processes after my queue got to 10K for the second time this wk

I read the guides multiple times over those 645 days but it never clicked in my head. I was afraid to mess with Sidekiq because I didn't want to brick my instance.

Then today, during the thunderstorm, the old grey cells clicked in and I understood.

Queue cleared up quickly

Wow! I’m one of the earliest writers for which #Flipboard has enabled federation. I curate links on #space & #Moon exploration on there, which you can now follow from Mastodon or anywhere in the Fediverse @moonmehta!

Thank you @mike and @Flipboard. 🚀🌖

Question for the people! -- What platforms on the Fediverse offer the best content discovery capabilities? Services like Flipboard and Threads are integrated into the Fediverse now, we should be getting a lot of contents, but when I search for specific topics, the results are still really sparse.

I was one of the lucky folks that @Flipboard federated today!

Very excited to setup magazines so people can follow me for specific interests if they don't want all of me on main 🌐

You can follow me at @anujahooja and I'll be setting up magazines for my various interests as I find content to share in them 🙏🏻

darnell, 2 days ago to threads

Yay! My #Flipboard account is federating: @darnell

Like #Threads & #Ghost, Flipboard is beta testing #ActivityPub on its main site.

I believe Flipboard will prove to be a counterweight to Threads and a prime location for news & pundits (as #Meta does not really desire the latter two on their platforms).

@Flipboard dear Flipboard, I would like you to stop recommending that I follow the Israel-hamas war, and the Russian-Ukraine war topics. I have the screenshots on my phone to verify this has been going on practically every week for months now. I find that recommending war, even if it’s just to read about it, is completely vulgar and deeply unsettling. It is also against the Mastodon Server Rules. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Sincerely, a normal ass dude from New York.

Le journal Le Devoir a deux fois plus de chroniqueurs que de chroniqueuses. Dommage parce qu'aux autres postes c'est plus équilibré, sauf à l'information politique où les journalistes sont cinq hommes pour deux femmes.

Le journal est dans @Flipboard mais ne semble pas avoir activé @LeDevoir

Wraithe, 5 days ago (edited 5 days ago) to random

I REALLY need to stop reflexively typing in “news.google.com” as a “check on the news” reflex.

It really is just a habit, and the fact is I get a way better “news at a glance” from, say @Inoreader right off the bat
@Flipboard as well, but it showed me a bunch of stuff I had no interest in, so I need to clean my dashboard up a little there. 😀 (1/2)

We ran a webinar on April 18 for creators and curators who are curious about the fediverse, have a federated Flipboard account, and don't know what to do next. Here's a link to the recording, plus the TL;DR bullet points if you don't have time to watch it.

Hi @Flipboard

The messaging on your “Do Not Sell My Info” footer link is a bit confusing. ^_^

This paragraph (2nd paragraph) suggests turning it “off”:

> You may opt-out of the sale of your personal information by toggling the button below off (green is on, grey is off).

While this paragraph (5th paragraph) suggests turning it “on”:

> Do not sell or share my personal information / opt out of targeted advertising (If you select On you are asking us not to sell or share your personal information and opting out of targeted advertising)

I'm not sure if it should be “on” or “off”. ^_~

If I may suggest, you can remove the second paragraph, as it is also explained in the 5th paragraph.

Then the 5th paragraph can be reworded to something like:

> Turn on the “do not sell or share my personal information” option. If this option is enabled (green “on”), we will not sell or share your personal information and you are opting-out from targeted advertising. (Default is: off.)

• I used “turn on” since it's simpler (more understandable to a wider audience; than using words like “enable”/“disable” and “toggling”; also the button is labelled “Off/On”.
• Since the default is “Off”, it's more appropriate to “Turn it ‘on’”.

If, by any chance, the 2nd paragraph is needed according to your legal team, may I suggest something like:

> You may choose to not allow the sale of your personal information by turning “On” the button below (“On” is color green; “Off” is grey).

• Also simpler for a wider audience. Especially in countries where English is not a major part of their curriculum.

When he built a bridge to connect Bluesky to Mastodon and other ActivityPub-powered platforms, @snarfed.org@snarfed.org started a new chapter for the fediverse. The software engineer opens up to @mike about his rollercoaster ride in the latest episode of Dot Social:

Hi friends,

The http://alt-text.org alt text library project needs a new leader, because I have brain cancer.

I would like to connect with the #accessibility dev community, something I have never figured out, probably in part for neurodivergence reasons. I want to hand the project off to a team or a leader if anyone is willing to take it over.

Github: https://github.com/alt-text-org
WIP MVP: a site designed for writing alt text with a private library: https://my.alt-text.org

Boosts appreciated
