🫖 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.
@molly0xfff is a leading cryptocurrency critic, but get to know her and you’ll see she’s anything but cynical about the future of the web. Hear why this researcher, writer and software engineer thinks so in this fascinating conversation with @mike:
Nel 2024, per la prima volta, si ha finalmente la sensazione di avere una massa critica di persone e piattaforme interessate a ridare vita a Internet per riportare in vita ciò che abbiamo perso e creare qualcosa di nuovo. Solo nell'ultima settimana ci sono state conversazioni fra #Mastodon, #Flipboard, #TheVerge, #Buttondown, #WriteFreely e diversi co-autori della specifica #ActivityPub. C'è la sensazione palpabile che questo possa essere l'anno del web aperto!
Dall'11 aprile, i curatori di @Flipboard hanno ricevuto più di 100.000 apprezzamenti, like e risposte da persone di tutto il #fediverso. Alla luce di questo segnale positivo da parte della comunità, oggi stanno federando altri 100 account che rappresentano più di 2.500 riviste su tutto, dal clima alla cultura!
Se state cercando ancora di capire cos'è Flipboard e cosa fa nel Fediverso, date un'occhiata qui:
I’ve been absolutely digging curating links on #space and more in many magazines on my #Flipboard account, now that it’s fully federating! 🚀🤓 Here’s my federated Flipboard username to follow: @moonmehta
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!
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:
So far we've federated 450 #Flipboard accounts which have now received more than 100,000 likes, boosts, replies and follows from people in the #fediverse. Today we are federating another 100 people who are curating terrific magazines that people in the fediverse can now enjoy.
Here's just one of my many favorites:
Addressing Climate Change Locally

High school Biology and Anatomy Teacher in Portland, Oregon

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. #fediverse#lemmy#mastodon#threads#flipboard
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).
Via @tchambers, more @Flipboard boards are federating today! Flipboard has seen over 100,000 #fediverse interactions and is opening up 100 more boards today.
Woohoo 🎉 Today, we federated another great group of Flipboard curators, adding over 2,500 Flipboard Magazines to the fediverse on topics like history, climate, culture, space and education.
And check out these five newly federated Magazines we love:
Water: stories related to water issues curated by climate diplomacy expert Anna Schulz @water
Quantum: cutting edge physics from quantum mechanics to cosmology @quantum
S.T.E.A.M.E.D.: curating stories in science, technology, engineering, architecture, math, medicine, and design @s
Spyglass: curated by M.G. Siegler, a long-time technology investor and writer @spyglass
City Life: curated by George Hahn, a self-proclaimed urban raconteur and self-made thousandaire in pursuit of sartorial stealth and effective living @city
Wondering what a Magazine is? A Magazine is a curated feed of posts about a specific topic or interest that is followable, just like a profile.
