Flipboard, to news
@Flipboard@flipboard.social avatar

There’s a new playbook being written right now when it comes to the future of social media. The early-mover advantage is still in effect, and there’s a lot to figure out. Gone are opaque algorithms and the whims of any single company.

The fediverse represents a chance for quality journalism to shine again.

We talked to two leaders at fedi-forward publications — @TheConversationUS's @BostonAbrams, and @404mediaco's @jasonkoebler — about why they’re investing in the open social web, what they’ve learned so far, and their advice for other publishers just getting started.

@NewsDesk @gbhnews @NBC Great pick — it certainly gives us headaches!

We'd love to get the #NewstodonFriday hashtag going again. This, as far as we can remember, was started by @gbhnews, and is an initiative to feature work from newsrooms that have an active presence in the #fediverse
If you're a news organization, share your handle and your favorite story of the week in the comments to this! And if there's a publication in the fediverse that you love, let us know about that in the comments too.

@Flipboard I'm getting repeated errors trying to add articles to my magazine. "Server error", "Unable to flip", etc, both on web and android app. Sometimes it works after many retries. Are you guys having any system issues?

@claralistensprechen3rd @FlipboardMagazines Hi Clara! Looks like a great publication but Songlines.co.uk doesn't seem to have a Flipboard profile for us to federate (nor an easy-to-find RSS feed that we can sneak into our music topic, alas!). If you know anyone at the magazine, we'd love to be in touch!

Flipboard,
@Flipboard@flipboard.social avatar

@claralistensprechen3rd @FlipboardMagazines Thanks for the heads up though — will pass on the URL to our topics team to see if they can find an RSS feed to add to our system.

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 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

@Flipboard Hello! Just to be sure, is it normal as of today that posting on Bluesky from the Flipboard app always fail? I’m able to see content but not post. I was wondering if it was a limitation for now. Thanks

@trusttrist HI Tristan! Will look into that for you — stay tuned (will likely be Monday morning before we get an update!).

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).

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 🙏🏻

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

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:🥇

Flipboard,
@Flipboard@flipboard.social avatar

Hi @starrwulfe! Not sure if @lisamelton is on Flipboard (we love her too!) but if she is, she could create a Magazine of every link she shares here, which would then be followable on Flipboard and in the fediverse once we federate her account. We know her as the queen of the boosters, so not sure if she would be interested in curating individual URLs into a Magazine.

@moonmehta@mastodon.social avatar

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

@chnynf@mastodon.social avatar

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.

Flipboard,
@Flipboard@flipboard.social avatar

@chnynf Hello! We haven't yet federated all our user accounts so you won't be able to find all Flipboard publishers' or creators'/curators' content in the fediverse. However, here is a blogpost about publisher federation and a Google sheet with a list of federated curators and the topics they cover. Some of them will use hashtags in their captions when they flip into their Magazines, which means you should be able to discover their content here (depending on how well search is working!). Otherwise if you follow individual curators'/creators'/publishers' Magazines (topical feeds) you'll get all their content on that subject. You can also follow our new account, @FlipboardMagazines for frequent Magazine recommendations, or for fantastic non-Flipboard recommendations, there's @FediTips.

@darnell@one.darnell.one avatar

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.

@smicha84 Ok, let us look into this a bit further! It could be that it just takes some time to refresh as we jumped the gun. As we said, we don't have the capacity to completely mute a topic, but you can use the controls to get your feeds a little more to your liking.
