Flipboard has begun testing ActivityPub federation of user accounts - eviltoast

Mike McCue - Hello Fediverse. I’m posting this tonight from my federated Flipboard profile! We’re now testing our #ActivityPub integration starting with my account. You can follow me here to see all the stories I’m curating about things like startups, photography and of course, the #Fediverse. Curious to hear your thoughts on how this is working. We’ll incorporate your feedback as we make more progress on federating Flipboard. Stay tuned for lots more soon.

    Actually, I’m quite fond of this #account-#channel formation. It lets people have different channels for different content. Like how some YouTubers have a main channel and a second channel with low quality videos or how some streamers have a VODs channel.

      Yeah it works fine, once you know that’s how it works. But I expect a lot of creators would be like me and assume the account name is just the account name, and videos will show as published by the channel name. So more of a PSA that everything gets published by your account and to be aware of that when setting things up :D
