{"id":2153,"date":"2024-04-05T07:12:54","date_gmt":"2024-04-05T07:12:54","guid":{"rendered":"https:\/\/aitesonics.com\/flipboard-is-moving-to-the-fediverse-170426320\/"},"modified":"2024-04-05T07:12:54","modified_gmt":"2024-04-05T07:12:54","slug":"flipboard-is-moving-to-the-fediverse-170426320","status":"publish","type":"post","link":"https:\/\/aitesonics.com\/flipboard-is-moving-to-the-fediverse-170426320\/","title":{"rendered":"Flipboard is moving to the fediverse"},"content":{"rendered":"

The news reading app is starting with the accounts of about two dozen publishers, including Polygon, Medium, Semafor, Kotaku and Mental Floss, whose Flipboard content will be discoverable across the fediverse. By next month, the company expects all public Flipboard accounts will be federated, meaning anyone on an ActivityPub-powered app will be able to view their posts and interact with them.<\/p>\n

And beginning in April, according to Flipboard CEO Mike McCue, all fediverse content will also be readily available within the Flipboard app itself. This means users will be able to use Flipboard browse content shared to Mastodon, Pixelfed (a photo sharing app kind of like Instagram), PeerTube (a decentralized video platform) and the rest of the apps that make up the fediverse.<\/p>\n

Flipboard\u2019s official entrance into the fediverse comes at a moment where there is increasing enthusias<\/ins><\/a>m for ActivityPub within the social media industry. Last week, Meta announced that it was taking its first steps<\/ins><\/a> toward making Threads compatible with Mastodon and the rest of the fediverse. \u201cI think you\u2019ll probably have more than 150 million people in the fediverse by the end of the next year,\u201d McCue tells Engadget, \u201cYou have millions of Flipboard users, millions of Threads users all joining this network … it\u2019s not going to take very long before this becomes the largest social network.\u201d<\/p>\n

McCue\u2019s enthusiasm for Mastodon and the fediverse is especially notable given his once close ties to Twitter. The Flipboard CEO was a member of Twitter\u2019s board between 2010 and 2012, and reportedly considered<\/ins><\/a> selling Flipboard to the company in 2015. But Elon Musk\u2019s takeover of the company, and the disintegration of its API, prompted him to begin experimenting with Mastodon<\/a> and Bluesky<\/ins><\/a> integrations earlier this year.<\/p>\n

He now believes that momentum for the fediverse is so strong, Twitter may ultimately end up supporting ActivityPub too. \u201cMore and more companies will have to look at ActivityPub,\u201d he predicts. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t be surprised if Twitter ultimately decides they\u2019re going to have to do this.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
