Today, the social magazine app Flipboard is announcing it has also now integrated with ActityPub. That changed this year, when Flipboard shifted its Twitter integration over to Mastodon and another alternative social app, Bluesky. All this was in the lead-up to making Flipboard itself a federated social app, a process that’s kicking off today. As this rolls out, all Flipboard users will have one Flipboard.com account connected to the fediverse, even if they host numerous Flipboard magazines. Today, Flipboard has over 10,000 publishers of social magazines on its app and over a quarter million individuals who are curating content using Flipboard’s app.
