It is a platform that lets people spend time on their interests, develop deeper understanding of issues, and share the best ideas with others by collecting them into their own Flipboard Magazines. On Flipboard, quality articles, videos, podcasts and products are recommended for enthusiasts, by enthusiasts from around the world. It is part of a growing network of federated social media services, known as the Fediverse, which connect through the W3C-adopted open protocol, ActivityPub, promoting openness and a more community-driven environment.įlipboard is the world's first social magazine where people go for information and inspiration. Users can join an instance that aligns with their values or interests, and still communicate with users on other instances. Mastodon is an emerging microblogging platform akin to Twitter, but decentralized, made up of many interconnected servers (instances), each with their own rules and communities.
"Our current integration with Mastodon gives a glimpse into how the ActivityPub protocol can lead to more connected services and expansion of the Fediverse." As more apps and platforms embrace federated social networks like Mastodon, this ecosystem will increasingly become a viable alternative to today's 'walled garden' social media networks," said Mike McCue, CEO and cofounder of Flipboard. "We're big believers in the innovation and growth coming from the Fediverse.
If a user does not yet have a Mastodon account, they can request an invite to Flipboard's Mastodon instance at Flipboard.social.
Now Flipboard users on Android devices can link a Mastodon account to Flipboard by navigating to the accounts section and logging with the credentials for the Mastodon instance they are on.
