What does it mean to federate your Flipboard profile? In the simplest terms, it means that whatever you curate (aka share) on Flipboard will be "syndicated" out to the fediverse with no extra effort. @miaq tests it out and breaks it down.
@mjgardner It's coming — we promise! Just making sure we slowly roll out new features so that we can get feedback from this community and tweak things as we go. It's been invaluable so far!
I'm not OP, but #Flipboard seems like a sort of a link aggregator (called "flips"). You can keep your own links (publicly or privately) and follow other people's curated links, and comment on them.
A little bit like a #Reddit or #Lemmy - except the links are emphasized more than the conversation.
I didn't know how to federate my links, though. So this article is interesting!
@ScottStarkey@zdl@miaq That's right! Here's a bit more about the app, which has been around for over a decade. Publishers and users can add ("flip") links into Magazines (for publishers, these can be RSS-fed whereas other users will manually flip content). We also have many users that just use Flipboard to keep up on news and the things they're passionate about, without doing any curation at all.
