As part of our mission to bring more high-quality journalism to the fediverse, we’re federating today the profiles of nine U.S. media sites, bringing their content to Mastodon and other platforms. We think this is especially important now as the world faces serious crises like Ukraine, Gaza and climate change — not to mention pivotal elections coming up this year in several countries.
We’re delighted to welcome this next wave of trusted publishers:
Bloomberg: @bloomberg
Bloomberg Law: @BloombergLaw
Bloomberg CityLab: @citylab
The Kyiv Independent: @KyivIndependent
Politico: @politico
Quartz: @quartz
Salon: @Salon
Time: @time
Vox: @Vox
Here are just a few of the amazing Magazines you’ll be able to follow:
Business News by Quartz, @business-news-quartz
Congress by Politico, @congress-politico
Markets by Bloomberg, @markets-bloomberg
News & Politics by Salon, @news-politics-Salon
Supreme Court by Vox, @supreme-court-Vox
Urban Planning by Bloomberg City Lab, @urban-planning-citylab
World News by Time, @world-time

@NewsDesk outstanding!!
@NewsDesk
Nice initiative, thanks. Would it be possible to make the link in the toot clickable?
@jeancf Hi Jean! Which links are not clickable for you? We are able to click on the links to publishers and Magazines in the post, as well as the blogpost, both when logged into flipboard.social and mastodon.social, so could it be an issue with your instance?
@NewsDesk Never mind, they are OK now. Maybe an instance replication issue. 
@tchambers @NewsDesk When will these be more than just read-only glorified RSS feeds?
@tchambers @NewsDesk As of right now this doesn't feel much different from following all those "bird.makeup" Twitter syndicators that filled up the Fediverse a couple years ago.
@jsit @tchambers Hi Jay! These are official publisher accounts on Flipboard, so the content is all directly curated by the publisher, which makes them a bit different than those "bird.makeup" mirror accounts.
Publishers use a combination of RSS feeds and manual "flipping" to add content to their topical Magazines.
You can follow the publisher's complete account or just the Magazine feed you're interested in (we always use the example of ESPN, where you might be interested in tennis but not golf, for example, so you can just follow one type of content using a Flipboard Magazine).
Comments and boosts can be seen by publishers logged into the app and we are also working on federated people on Flipboard being able to reply to federated comments, so stay tuned for more on that!
We also have our totally-humanly-curated, not-an-RSS-in-sight accounts here, which are @NewsDesk, @TechDesk, @ScienceDesk, @CultureDesk and @ArtPhotosDesk. Follow those for handpicked stories, polls, and human interactions!
@NewsDesk thanks, this is amazing! I love the work you're doing!!
@NewsDesk Could you possibly add language support to these accounts?
Quartz, for instance, sometimes posts in Spanish.
A little-known feature of Mastodon is that you can filter out posts of certain languages from accounts you follow; but the poster has to report this language, it can't be ascertained from the content of the post.
(Not only don't I speak Spanish, but these posts seem to be duplicates of their English posts.)
@jsit @NewsDesk
Hi, I corrected the language for this specific article. Any other articles by quartz that are boosted by the @quartz-en-espa-ol-quartz magazine should now be correctly labeled.
@JsonCulverhouse Whoa crazy, thanks! I’m surprised it was that quick!
@jsit
thanks for reporting, will fix
