Following its announcement, Flipboard’s Mastodon community now has around 500 active members who have established accounts in order to participate on the decentralized social platform. Last month, Flipboard first announced it was joining the Fediverse with plans to integrate with Mastodon, launch its own Mastodon instance, flipboard.social and, later, add support for ActivityPub - the protocol powering Fediverse apps like Mastodon, which has benefited from the chaos surrounding Twitter after Elon Musk’s acquisition. Flipboard CEO Mike McCue will also demonstrate the app’s new Mastodon support in a session this morning at FediForum, an online event dedicated to discussions surrounding the challenges facing the Fediverse - the group of interconnected servers powering a range of open source, decentralized applications, including the newly popular Twitter alternative Mastodon. Magazine app Flipboard is integrating Mastodon in its Android application, as the company broadens its commitment to the federated social web.
