I'm so excited about federating #Flipboard to the #Fediverse! We are getting closer every day.
I just recently saw a demo from our engineering team of a Flipboard account being fully federated and followable from #Mastodon. Now we need to interpret all the engagement signals (commenting, favoriting, etc) properly. This includes designing what Flipboard users should see when they click on Mastodon users who reply to them and vice versa. A bunch more to do but we are making serious progress.

@thekenyeung That's a great question Ken! There are really two efforts underway. One is to federate Flipboard. The other is to . . .

@mike would you consider this Flipboard 5.0?

@mike That is exciting. I’ve been watching and noodling ways we might wrap what you’re doing into something even larger. You’ve got a great digital collection of works there. I’d now like to see a new kind of library built around those stacks.

@shoq me too!

@cdevroe Good advice. We are indeed looking for ways to stage this work in phases but that has proven harder than we thought.
Seems like federation is an all or nothing proposition from our vantage point.

@mike don’t feel obligated to do it all at once. Start simple and iterate quickly. Perhaps that is already the approach you’re taking. If so 👏
