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."
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!

🫖 During our outage this morning, people attempting to connect with Flipboard.Social found that we were declaring ourselves to be a teapot. Here's the origin of the unusual internet error message. Tell us, were you familiar with it?
Hi folks, you may have noticed that we had an outage for a couple of hours this morning on our app, website and instance. We are back online now and hopefully things should be back to normal, but please bear with us if there are any issues for the next while.
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.
Flipboard curators have seen over 100,000 boosts, likes and replies from people across the fediverse since April 11. Given this positive signal from the community, today we're federating another 100 accounts representing more than 2,500 Magazines about everything from climate to culture. Read more here:
