@mike Brilliant! I love being able to follow these sites via Mastodon.

There is a medium post which quote.

"While the accounts we are federating have tens of thousands or even millions of followers on Flipboard, we think this could be confusing to people in the Fediverse. Accordingly, follower counts will start at zero in the Fediverse and increment as each account accrues new ActivityPub followers."

@mike @greg ah. If this is an app thing, I'm using megladon 2.1.6.fork110

@cmonster @mike could be .... to be honest, all the different app and even server version cause various experiences which can be difficult to track down. Even the follower counts .... I think they are cached and not "real time" .... I already see the root having 29 "fediverse" followers in our own internal database that produces the number over activity pub

@greg @mike Can Confirm it works as greg says on the web. And I followed another account from my app for which a post seems to have been published. so i guess it's working, though a confusing interface glitch. Thanks!

@rotfarm I think that publishers and creators will have multiple accounts in the #Fediverse for different purposes and use cases. For example I now have three accounts in the Fediverse: My Flipboard account where I curate interesting content into magazines that people can follow. My Mastodon account where I mostly post and converse about the Fediverse. My PixelFed account where I post photos.

@manton thank you!
