Flipboard Joins the Fediverse, Plans Full Interoperability with Mastodon

The news reading app is set to become the largest platform in the fediverse, with all public accounts expected to be federated by next month.

Flipboard, the news reading app, is officially joining the fediverse, a collection of decentralized services running on the ActivityPub protocol.
The company plans to become fully interoperable with Mastodon and other fediverse services, starting with about two dozen publishers whose content will be discoverable across the fediverse.
By next month, all public Flipboard accounts are expected to be federated, allowing anyone on an ActivityPub-powered app to view their posts and interact with them.
Starting in April, all fediverse content will also be available within the Flipboard app, enabling users to browse content shared to Mastodon, Pixelfed, PeerTube, and other fediverse apps.
Flipboard CEO Mike McCue predicts that the momentum for the fediverse is so strong that even Twitter may ultimately end up supporting ActivityPub.
