Flipboard has announced a groundbreaking move to join the Fediverse network, allowing users to follow accounts within the ActivityPub network. At the same time, Flipboard account owners can now access content from other networks, transcending boundaries. This initiative has been in testing since the end of last year.
Mike McCue, CEO of Flipboard, stated that Flipboard has reached the third stage. Users from other networks in the Fediverse can now follow Flipboard accounts, enhancing its strength and positioning it as a major social network in the future.
By opening up the ability to follow accounts, Flipboard has integrated into the ActivityPub network, which includes Threads, Mastodon, Ghost, WordPress, Pixelfed, and more. Users can now follow, comment, or express their feelings by liking posts.
