Hello fediverse. Today we federated 63 awesome local publications like @SunSentinel, @Gothamist and @AustinMonitor.
Local news is critical to the communities we live in and so we're excited and grateful to help bring some of the best local publications to the fediverse.

@mike @SunSentinel @Gothamist @AustinMonitor this is so important! Congrats.
@chris @mike @SunSentinel @Gothamist @AustinMonitor Nice! I'd been following a scraping bot for Gothamist, but it only syncs once/day.
@mike Just added the Cleveland.com feed. Thank you for providing this service!
@mike @SunSentinel @Gothamist @AustinMonitor Wonderful news, keep up the fabulous work!!
@mike immediately followed Gothamist. That’s awesome.
@mike @AustinMonitor @TexasMonthly Very excited to see the great work you’re doing getting these terrific publications on the Fediverse & Flipboard, Mike!
We Texas Monthly!
@mike @SunSentinel @Gothamist @AustinMonitor Even after reading the article, it's unclear to me how to follow these local accounts in the fedi. ??
@msbellows @mike Hi there! Here's a spreadsheet with all our federated accounts. If you search for the handle (for example, @Votebeat) it will bring up all the Magazines (topical feeds) on that profile, and then you can choose the ones you want. Hope that helps — let us know if you have any issues or suggestions for publications you'd like us to federate!
