Hello fediverse!

This morning we shipped an exciting new version of that enables *anyone* on Flipboard to follow *anyone* in the fediverse.

This is the culmination of a ton of work to deeply integrate into the product. The result is incredibly seamless.

Just tap on the search icon in Flipboard and tap the follow button for anyone featured there or that you find in search. You’ll soon start seeing their posts in all of your relevant Flipboard feeds.

Check the screenshots below and read this post to learn more:

@hello Thank you! And one really important point to highlight:

This is actually a full blown ActivityPub follow. So what that means is that if your Flipboard account is federated it is a full two way connection and you can reply to posts.

Also, starting today, any Flipboard user can request to federate their account to gain this two way capability. We are gradually federating more and more accounts as we scale our backend.
