with the new integration, each magazine now has its own native ActivityPub feed, making them discoverable to users on Mastodon and other federated social apps
the company will offer an opt-out option for anyone who prefers to keep their magazine exclusively on Flipboard.

Flipboard plans to continue integrating the remaining active and public curators and their magazines with ActivityPub. The company also aims to launch a new version of its app, allowing magazine curators to interact with users on Mastodon by viewing and responding to comments, likes, and boosts.

@ecksmc And I always thought Flipboard was just another news reader, like Google News, but easier to read one handed and with wonky url redirects for all stories.
I'm going to have to explore the settings, and read some in the newly discovered Inside Flipboard.
Thanks.
@walterbays i stopped using it a number of years back now
it started out as news reader service like you say but went downhill fast imo
The news follows the magazine app’s December announcement that it would begin to integrate directly with the fediverse
