The San Fransisco Aviation Museum (known as the SFO Museum / https://sfomuseum.org) has launched a massive initiative to federate their whole archive into the #fediverse! They have gone so far as to write their own #ActivityPub software in #Go suited to their needs and open sourced it (https://github.com/sfomuseum/go-activitypub). And have already launched thousands of automated accounts that cover different parts of their collection. It looks like @thisisaaronland is behind the project.

What is and isn't acceptable for businesses to do in the #Fediverse?
Lots of opinions, many strongly held. The fact of the matter, of course, is that businesses *are* connecting to the Fediverse, from news organizations to Meta and everything in between.
Would be useful to come up with a set of acceptable things to do for businesses and unacceptable ones. Or maybe a scale.
I want to run a #FediForum session on this next week, and brainstorm with you all.
Join me? https://fediforum.org
Giving @Flipboard another spin, since it’s a big supporter of the #Fediverse. It’s also a survivor…I remember covering it on ReadWriteWeb when it launched (or maybe that was a post by @jon?). Either way, here’s my #InternetHistory mag, if you’re a Flipboard user: https://flipboard.com/@ricmac/internet-history-e041t55qz
This is strange: @heiseonline (on #Flipboard) is among the first German #news organizations, that were now federated by @Flipboard.
In the app I see the number of #Fediverse-followers, but when I log into the flipboard-account, I don't see interactions from #Mastodon & Co.
OK, maybe it's just not "really" federated, fair enough. But if I change the URL to sth I know from Mastodon, like https://flipboard.com/directory, the page breaks and I suddenly see fediverse-interactions. What's up there, @mike?
We at @Vivaldi continue to be the only browser company all in on Mastodon and the Fediverse.
We have made our own instance, Vivaldi Social. Any user that has a Vivaldi account for sync or other services, can easily enable a presence on Vivaldi Social.
We have integrated Mastodon as a Web panel into Vivaldi.
We include links to Vivaldi Social into Vivaldi.
We also work on integrating our blogs and forums into the Fediverse.
We hope others will follow. Mozilla has talked a lot and we hope they will join us fully soon.

Today, we're beginning to federate a selection of publishers based in Germany and the U.K. We've also introduced @FlipboardDE, a new profile for the Mastodon community in Germany. In the first test, we are partnering with 21 publishers to federate their profiles and Magazines. Follow the profile to see all the stories they are posting on Flipboard, or topically curated Magazines to get coverage on specific areas of interest. Here's a blogpost that explains more.

Hallo #Mastodon! 👋 Wir bei Flipboard Deutschland freuen uns riesig Teil der Fediverse-Community zu werden. Die Welt der sozialen Netzwerke verändert sich rasant und wir sind gespannt darauf gemeinsam mit euch zu lernen.
#NeuHier #Introduction #NewHere #Nachrichten #Technik #Politik #SocialMedia #Fediverse @Flipboard
Im letzten Dezember haben wir damit begonnen, Flipboard für das Fediverse zu öffnen. Heute machen wir einen weiteren wichtigen Schritt in diese Richtung, indem wir unsere Testphase ausweiten: Die ersten Publisher aus Deutschland sind nun für das gesamte Fediverse zugänglich.
Mehr Infos dazu findet ihr auf unserem Blog:

There goes the neighbourhood.

Flipboard hat sich entschieden, "all in" beim Fediverse zu gehen. Was bedeutet das eigentlich konkret und warum liegt die Zukunft von Social Media in dezentralen Apps wie #Mastodon? Flipboards CEO @mike McCue hat mit @1E9tech darüber gesprochen und zum ersten Mal spannende Einblicke mit der deutschsprachigen Community geteilt.

welp Mastodon has finally become a real place for #BreakingNews I learned of the Baltimore bridge collapse here first. Went to Xitter and bluesky and nothing there yet at all. #Baltimore #BridgeCollapse #News #Fediverse #Mastodon
Yesterday morning I was flipping through my Mastodon timeline via Flipboard and I saw a post from @gtconway3.
@tchambers had boosted George's post using whatever app Tim likes to use to these days (I suspect @phanpy though it could just as easily have been the native Mastodon app, @mammoth, @ivory, or @IceCubesApp)
I tapped on George's profile and saw he was posting from #Threads. I tapped the follow button and now I see his latest posts in Mastodon and Flipboard.
There's a whole new array of apps, people and posts in the fediverse and it all just works. It's wonderful.
#Fediverse FTW.
Great interview with Jay Graber (CEO, #Bluesky) on Decoder with Nilay Patel (@reckless1280), where they dig into some of the major difference between Bluesky (#ATProtocol) and #Mastodon (#ActivityPub).

Question: which publishers are doing the best job at incorporating #fediverse networks as part of their content strategy and engaging with the community? I want to write a "Fedi Curious" post about best practices for #media orgs. Thank you in advance!
Thinking about starting your own fediverse community?
Here's where you can host it:
And here's a tool for finding a good domain name for it:
Hypothetically speaking, if #Trump wins the next presidential elections, would his team use #Threads and so the #fediverse to make his political tweets but on the fediverse?
Hello all, I'm trying something new to get a better vision of #Sengi users, what you like in the app, what you don't like and miss.
(yes, it's a survey 😶)
You can find it here: https://forms.gle/QbVhVQDnuShfvhUB9
Since it's the first time I'm doing this exercise, don't hesitate to give me any feedback about the process by itself!
Also, boosting for visibility will be highly appreciated. 🙂
Welcome to the neighborhood, President Biden @potus
While content is federated currently, #identity isn’t. And while that doesn’t diminish the decentralized nature of the #fediverse, having a single identity — that a user fully controls — would make it easier to sign up for multiple apps. My analysis of recent discussions here featuring @evanprodromou, @rabble, @deadsuperhero, @timbray, @osma & others. https://thenewstack.io/one-login-towards-a-single-fediverse-identity-on-activitypub/
Looks like #Ghost may be joining the #Fediverse!
I hope this is real and not hype because Ghost is my favourite blogging platform – a great alternative to #Medium and #Substack!
They already got great email integration. Adding ActivityPub would be beautiful!
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.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to the incredible team at @Flipboard for their unwavering belief in me. Today marks the beginning of an exciting journey as I join the #Fediverse community. A special shoutout to @mike McCue, the visionary CEO of Flipboard, along with @Steven Rice @Mia Quagliarell and @jejord , whose support has been invaluable. With their encouragement, I'm thrilled to embark on this new adventure. Let's dive in and make magic happen!
