Flipboard is making good on a major fediverse promise. Late last year, at the same time it announced it would be switching user accounts to ActivityPub, Flipboard said it planned to let users follow users on federated platforms that used ActivityPub from the Flipboard app. Starting Tuesday, that feature is here, meaning that you can follow people from places like Mastodon, Threads, and Pixelfed right inside Flipboard.

    I still remember flipboard being forcefully installed as the action button app for an old phone. My rage continues to smolder a decade later.

    An app that couldn’t be uninstalled and took up precious resources. That’s all they’ll ever be to me.
