I tweaked the #ActivityPub inbox endpoints of my #WordPress site a bit and was able to follow my blog on #Flipboard ❤️

Local news matters, now more than ever. So a few weeks ago, we asked you for your thoughts on federating local papers in the USA — where you're located, and the specific publications you'd like to see. You responded, with ideas, suggestions, and an education on American geography. Now, we've federated 64 publications. Here's a blogpost with more details, plus a spreadsheet with a list of all the federated profiles, which include everyone from @AlaskaBeacon to @SunSentinel. If you spy a profile you like, search for it in the fediverse and you should see all its Magazines (topical feeds). Follow the profile to see everything in your feed, or just Magazines if you're only interested in, for example, South Florida Sports (@south-florida-sports-SunSentinel) or Texas Barbecue (@texas-bbq-TexasMonthly). If we've missed something or you have a suggestion for us, just let us know in the comments. Follow our @FlipboardMagazines account for regular updates on federated Magazines.

Hello fediverse!

This morning we shipped an exciting new version of #Flipboard that enables *anyone* on Flipboard to follow *anyone* in the fediverse.

This is the culmination of a ton of work to deeply integrate #ActivityPub into the product. The result is incredibly seamless.

Just tap on the search icon in Flipboard and tap the follow button for anyone featured there or that you find in search. You’ll soon start seeing their posts in all of your relevant Flipboard feeds.

Check the screenshots below and read this post to learn more:

Creators no longer have to depend on “walled garden” platforms that change algorithms on a whim and own the audience. Digital sovereignty is the ultimate influencer status. Help our proposed fireside chat with @molly0xfff become a reality at SXSW '25! Community votes are a powerful signal. TYIA 🙏🏼

I stopped using Google news over two months ago and I don't miss it. In my not-so-humble opinion it was starting to feel clunky and it was overly difficult for me to set up a feed of what I am interested in. The app I am using right now (#flipboard) has been great and I have a nice customized feed in a large number of areas. It works well on my cell phone, ChromeBook in their app and browser version for Linux and Windows 10.

Same goes for YuckTube, I found a good app that just works and the ads are not intrusive.

Now to find a good replacement for FB where I can post items of interest for friends and family along with photos of family events. The site is turning toxic and most of the crap (to be charitable and not using profanity) that hits my feed isn't interesting at all. Family postings are either drying up or moving way down the feed. I have stopped reporting obvious bots, scammers and hate mongers as I keep getting the reply 'met standards'. It is almost at the level as the dead bird site.

This week, we've featured several amazing tech and science voices from the Mastodon community on Flipboard!

In case you missed the news, you can now follow anyone from the fediverse in the Flipboard app. We're excited to introduce our readers to people in the Mastodon community, including @alyssam_infosec, @annaleen, @pomarede, @HelenBranswell, @lisamelton, @percepticon, @parismarx, @TatianaIlyina, @skrishna and @zackwhittaker.

To follow these accounts on Flipboard, download the app and visit the Tech & Science tab in Explore. You'll see posts from the fediverse accounts you follow in the new Fediverse Activity carousel in the For You feed.

📣 It's been a while since we've federated a batch of publishers — so to make up for it, here are 250, and they're big ones.

Today, we're bringing names like @abc, @RollingStone, @forbes, @BleacherReport, @NationalGeographic and @newyorktimes to the fediverse. They join the 174 profiles we've already federated, which include everyone from @19thnews to @Vox

Here's a blogpost with more details on this latest batch of publications that cover news, business, cooking, home design, politics, sports, science and more. Follow their Magazine feeds if you're only interested in one topic, or their whole profiles if you want the lot. The spreadsheet below lists out all federated accounts.

Forward-thinking journalists are not letting the “media apocalypse” happen to them. Instead, they’re doing the work that arguably has been most critical all along: building direct connections with their readers. @404mediaco's @jasonkoebler and @ProPublica's @ben join fediverse futurist @mike for a conversation about the discovery and sustainability of quality journalism.

People who’ve figured out the fediverse understand its power. Hear from early adopters who explain their lightbulb moments in our new short video series. The use cases and potential of the system are awesome, and these stories are just the beginning. Tell us: what's your favorite thing about the fediverse? We're listening and looking for more people to feature.

Really appreciate that somehow through Flipboard, I’m able to follow @csmonitor here on Mastodon. Great source of objective news. Thanks, @mike! Took me a minute to figure out what the official #Flipboard mastodon feed was to follow more broadly. Hoping it’s @Flipboard

Since the newest update to @surf, links to feeds can be opened directly in the app.

I have created a #Cybersecurity feed on #Surf for anyone on the beta. The feed includes posts, etc., regarding Cybersecurity information. You can even contribute to the feed using the hashtag #CyberSecBrief.

If you have any recommendations for a source that I can add to the feed, just let me know.

If you are not in the Surf beta, I have an invite code that can get you in. Just DM me, and I will share it with you. This is all due to the huge thanks of @marci, @mike, and all of the @surf team. They are such great people.

You can learn more about Surf by is from this great article from The Verge.
