<p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://flipboard.social/@mike" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>mike</span></a></span> Now that Flipboard is <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> interactive, can a Flipboard account be used with a Mastodon client? I want to set my wife up with a Mastodon account and I’m wondering if we can just use her Flipboard account? <a href="/tags/inquiringminds/" rel="tag">#InquiringMinds</a> <a href="/tags/socialmedia/" rel="tag">#SocialMedia</a></p>
