I use @flipboard for the following reasons. 1. I enjoy the content it serves. 2. It helps me broaden my horizons. 3. I enjoy making magazines that matter and I take great pride in curating each and every one of them. 4. I love the community. I hope #flipboard stays the same as always, providing good and educational content for all. #reading#learning#education#curation#flipboardusergroup
In December, we started to federate the accounts of some Flipboard publishers and in February, we introduced Magazines to the fediverse. Now, we’re taking two important steps: federating the accounts of 400 creators and expert curators; and enabling two-way communication so that new followers and fediverse activity are visible and actionable in the Flipboard app.
To learn more about this, take a look at our blogpost:
Thanks so much to everyone who has given feedback on what we’ve done so far. We welcome your thoughts and comments as we continue on our journey to fully federate Flipboard.
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.
If you are in to archives and all things graphic design and lettering arts, there’s a great paid internship going @letterformarchive in San Francisco.
Wonderful group of people to work with, and an amazing collection
What does it mean to federate your Flipboard profile? In the simplest terms, it means that whatever you curate (aka share) on Flipboard will be "syndicated" out to the fediverse with no extra effort. @miaq tests it out and breaks it down.
• How Israel uses AI for assassination in the Gaza War
• A father reflects on his son’s development
• The rise of the term, “gaslighting”
• Toni Morrison’s expansive rejection letters
• The history of PostSecret

Where do 'zines belong, culturally & institutionally? How do "we" document & archive these sub-cultural artifacts?
'zines were a significant part of my adolescence & young adulthood from ~'84 through ~'96. Mostly for the music & art scenes. I may have "published" a couple 'lil tracts. Definitely contributed a bit o'terrible poetry, pics, and illustrations to a few of them(fortunately now lost & thankfully forgotten!).
We’re not expecting many surprises at this Sunday’s Oscars ceremony — if “Oppenheimer” doesn’t win Best Picture, we’ll eat Oppy’s fedora hat, and when it comes to the two main contenders for Best Actress, we think Gladstone has the edge over Stone (though they both rock). Far more interesting to us are the stories around the edges. Here's our blogpost, with stories from @TheConversationUS@hollywoodreporter@variety_feed, Entertainment Weekly and more, plus an incredible video from The Academy about how the special effects from nominated movies were put together.
After an online training on #ReadersAdvisory for Millennials and Generation Z, I made a mega list on Libby called “Romantasy” and ended up needing arthritis cream on my wrist today with all the mouse work. Overdrive findability is tough. Metadata is scant. Neither author nor genre searches recovered most of these. It’s almost like they want to bury your old content licences. #Romantasy#LibbyApp#librarian#bookstodon#ebooks#curation @bookstodon @librarians
For over a decade, @Flipboard's in-house editorial team has been curating the world’s best journalism around the clock. But to access this curation, you had to use the Flipboard app or visit flipboard.com.
Now we’ve decided to federate our Flipboard editorial profiles and their related Magazines in order to make our collections available to everyone on Mastodon and other Fediverse networks.
Here's what we're up to. Would love your feedback!
