Hello fediverse!
This morning we shipped an exciting new version of #Flipboard that enables *anyone* on Flipboard to follow *anyone* in the fediverse.
This is the culmination of a ton of work to deeply integrate #ActivityPub 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 Nice! But it would be great to use Flipboard as the proper Mastodon client (with like/reply/post/retoot access) for the connected Fedi account.
@pundir You can actually do this by connecting your fedi account to Flipboard. Go to the Following tab (the tab with 4 squares) and select the accounts tab. Then sign in to mastodon and you'll see your home timeline, mentions, lists, etc. and can fully reply, like, etc.
@mike I tried the same yesterday. The timeline loaded but I couldn't post and felt like it worked in read-only mode. But thank you for confirming that flipboard can be used as a Mastodon client. I'll try again today.
@pundir hmmm. Cc’ing @FlipboardCS
@FlipboardCS @mike it is working now. Thanks a lot!
@pundir @FlipboardCS Excellent!
