   I think that fully integrating #ActivityPub into Flipboard's backend is going to be one of the best things we've done since we started the company.

   There are three phases:

   Phase 1 (Today): Federate 25 accounts to test and learn

   Phase 2 (January): Enable anyone in the Fediverse to engage with any public curator on Flipboard

   Phase 3 (April): Enable anyone on Flipboard to follow and engage with any public account in the #Fediverse

     @millions @astrojuanlu Yes, that's part of the test. Publishers and creators will likely have multiple accounts for different use cases (i.e. kind of like how you can follow me on mastodon, flipboard or pixelfed... I use each account to post different content for different reasons)

     Exactly how this all settles out is something we're all learning together in real time right now.

     @astrojuanlu it’s gonna be weird having 2 fediverse verge accounts, is the flipboard one gonna be the main one now that it’s on the fediverse or are they both gonna coexist

     @mike To clarify a bit more in case it wasn't very clear...

     We need/want links to the official accounts that Flipboard is working with so we're not following or trying to interact with all of these bot accounts, fake accounts or whatever of news sites that random people have added to the Fediverse.

     Might be a good page on the Flipboard site that gets linked to and we can grab the list from there.

     @mike What would be nice to have is an actual list of accounts across the #Fediverse that y'all are federating . While I know the article shows an image of companies, I'm more referring to a list of the actual account names that we can click and follow or paste into the search bar of Mastodon and follow there. Would make things so much easier.

     For example, @verge is that the account y'all are dealing/working with or some other account?

     @CliffWade we'll continue to federate some accounts between now and January which we'll announce. When we do phase 2 the list will be hundreds of thousands of accounts globally.

     @Flipboard @mike Absolutely perfect. Thank you very much for the quick response.

     I assume this list will keep being updated?

     Also, are these accounts considered official? As in, will they ever be "verified" accounts? Just quickly looking, I see @theverge isn't considered verified, so it's hard to know that we should be following this account as an official account.

     Verification here in the #Fediverse is very important, as I'm sure y'all know.
