Flipboard just brought over 1,000 of its social magazines to Mastodon and the fediverse

The fediverse just got a little bigger today as Flipboard has now launched over 1,000 of its social magazines across the decentralized social web,

After sensing a change in the direction that social media was headed, Flipboard last year dropped support for Twitter/X in its app, which today allows users to curate content from around the web in “magazines” that are shared with other readers. Flipboard’s magazines, however, tend to be thematic in nature, allowing users to browse news, articles, and social posts referencing a particular topic, like healthy eating, climate tech, national security, and more. With the initial test group now integrated with ActivityPub, Flipboard says that the plan is to get started generating the remaining active and public curators and their magazines.
