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:

@mike this is so exciting! If I understand it correctly, users can subscribe to federated content without needing to create an account on the fediverse, right? Then, if they do want to join the fediverse, they'll have access to more options (like commenting).

@docpop Exactly. Starting today every Flipboard user can follow every fediverse user and see their posts in relevant feeds.

Also starting today, any Flipboard user can request to federate their Flipboard account which will turn them into a full blown Fediverse user who can be discovered and followed from Mastodon and other fediverse apps.

@mike @docpop it's amazing to see flipboard embracing the fediverse so fully, it's impressive!

could you explain how we can request to federate our flipboard account ? do we need to create a flipboard.social account for that ?

@matlfb @docpop no Flipboard.social account needed. Just send your Flipboard.com account to @jejord and she’ll get you on the list.
