Now you can follow profiles from the fediverse right inside the Flipboard app!

@Flipboard I discovered that #Flipboard can not follow #WordPress blogs in the #Fediverse.
I tried following several of mine & it did not work, then I tried to follow @pfefferle@mastodon.social blog (which is @pfefferle@notiz.blog) from the Flipboard app & it also did not work.
I encountered the same error when trying to follow #Ghost (on @index) & #MicroBlog (using @manton) too.
#WriteFreely works though! 😀😅 (thanks @matt‽).

@darnell @Flipboard @pfefferle@notiz.blog @index @manton @matt I also commented that already on their announcement post, but no answer yet. I had no error message, but I couldn‘t see Flipboard in the followers list after pressing the follow button.
Matthias Pfefferle
@darnell @Flipboard @pfefferle@notiz.blog @index @manton @matt I even had issues with following my Mastodon Account.
Matthias Pfefferle
@darnell @Flipboard @pfefferle@notiz.blog @index @manton @matt Flipboard seems to subscribe to my mastodon account somehow, but I also can‘t see a Flipboard account in my Mastodons followers list.

@pfefferle@mastodon.social @Flipboard @pfefferle@notiz.blog @index @manton @matt Hmm…is your Flipboard account federated‽ I can follow most accounts from @darnell@flipboard.com but that is because Flipboard activated ActivityPub on my account (as part of a beta test).
I remember others like @youronlyone had issues, but most of those went away after updating their app.
Matthias Pfefferle
@darnell@one.darnell.one @Flipboard @pfefferle@notiz.blog @index @manton @matt @darnell@flipboard.com @youronlyone hmmm, that might be the case, but my account was not enabled for federation yet...
Matthias Pfefferle
@darnell@one.darnell.one @Flipboard @pfefferle@notiz.blog @index @manton @matt @darnell@flipboard.com @youronlyone but if that is the pre-condition, I would assume that the "follow" button would be greyed out for me, with a message that tells me to first request federation for my account!?!
Darnell Clayton :verified:
@pfefferle@mastodon.social @Flipboard @pfefferle@notiz.blog @index @manton @matt @darnell@flipboard.com @youronlyone True. According to their announcement, you should be able to follow any Fediverse account, even if ActivityPub is not fully updated on your Flipboard account.
It could be a random bug though, as I was able to follow WriteFreely blogs from Flipboard (that is the only blog platform working right now).
Matthias Pfefferle
@darnell@one.darnell.one @Flipboard @pfefferle@notiz.blog @index @manton @matt @darnell@flipboard.com @youronlyone the problem is that I can't debug anything because Flipboard doesn't even seem to send anything to the inbox.... it must fail beforehand, and that's almost impossible to debug on my end....

I think, currently, for Flipboard accounts that are not federated yet, Flipboard is only subscribing to the Atom feed.
At least this was what noticed on my end after the new feature finally worked on my device. I can follow anyone on the fediverse, but there are no notifications that they were followed by a Flipboard account.
Maybe if a fediverse account is not sending the proper Atom feed, Flipboard won't be able to “follow it” if the Flipboard account is not yet federated.

@youronlyone @darnell@one.darnell.one @Flipboard @pfefferle@notiz.blog @index @manton @matt @darnell@flipboard.com that makes sense! I hope Flipboard will enable Federation for my account, so that I can test it with the WordPress plugin!
Darnell Clayton :verified:
@pfefferle @youronlyone @Flipboard You can request early access to federate your Flipboard profile here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/C7VQY5K
I would also contact @mike as I think he would not mind granting you early access, especially so that you can test compatibility with WordPress.
Matthias Pfefferle
@darnell @youronlyone @Flipboard @mike I already filled out the form!
Yohan Yukiya Seseㆍ사요한・謝雪矢
@pfefferle @darnell @Flipboard @mike Likewise!
Same username. ^_^
Mike McCue
@youronlyone @pfefferle @darnell @Flipboard adding @jejord who will get all of your accounts federated. Also cc’ing @greg and @JsonCulverhouse re: following Wordpress blogs in Flipboard.

@mike @pfefferle @darnell @Flipboard @jejord @greg @JsonCulverhouse

Matthias Pfefferle
@youronlyone @darnell @Flipboard @jejord @greg @JsonCulverhouse thanks @mike

@Flipboard @pfefferle@mastodon.social @pfefferle@notiz.blog @index @manton @matt
What about if you try fedilab? I'm abkento follow all those account from it
Matthias Pfefferle
@codeDude @darnell @Flipboard @pfefferle@notiz.blog @index @manton @matt I do not search for an alternative to Flipboard, I am working on the WordPress ActivityPub plugin and would love to have it federating with Flipboard nicely ☺️☺️
Matthias Pfefferle
@mike @greg @JsonCulverhouse maybe you can also tell me what the fallback is, if a user has federation disabled? What happens if this user clicks the follow button? will it subscribe to the RSS feed? does that feed has to be a well-known URI?

@pfefferle@mastodon.social @codeDude @darnell @Flipboard @pfefferle@notiz.blog @index @manton @matt @JsonCulverhouse I've opened a ticket to track this down. Progress this week may be slow (we are a very small company) but we will figure it out with you.
Matthias Pfefferle
@greg @codeDude @Flipboard @pfefferle@notiz.blog @index @manton @matt @JsonCulverhouse My Account is now enabled and I tried to debugged the issue mentioned by @darnell It seems that Flipboard is expecting that the inbox URL follows the same pattern as used by Mastodon (`{profile-url}/inbox`) instead of using the inbox URL that is referenced in the Actors profile.
Matthias Pfefferle
@greg @codeDude @Flipboard @pfefferle@notiz.blog @index @manton @matt @JsonCulverhouse @darnell WordPress uses different URLs for the inbox/outbox and that is why the Follow-Request does not come through.
Matthias Pfefferle
@greg @codeDude @Flipboard @pfefferle@notiz.blog @index @manton @matt @JsonCulverhouse @darnell let me know if I can support in any way or if I can/should report the issue somewhere!?!
Greg Scallan :verified_red:
@pfefferle@mastodon.social @codeDude @Flipboard @pfefferle@notiz.blog @index @manton @matt @JsonCulverhouse @darnell I've opened an internal ticket to get this resolved. It may take a week or more unfortunately, but we will get to it
Matthias Pfefferle
@greg no problem and thanks 😊
let me know if I can help!
Matthias Pfefferle
@greg btw. I think this will also fix the issues with all the other platforms mentioned by @darnell
Greg Scallan :verified_red:
@pfefferle@mastodon.social @darnell@one.darnell.one @Flipboard @pfefferle@notiz.blog @index @manton @matt @darnell@flipboard.com @youronlyone I think I found your account on Flipboard and just enabled it, let me know if that is not the case

@greg @pfefferle@mastodon.social @darnell@one.darnell.one @Flipboard @pfefferle@notiz.blog @index @manton @matt @darnell@flipboard.com
For my account (flipboard.com/@youronlyone), I so far haven't seen fediverse related features yet. Tried ‘clear cache’ in Android as well, and checked if I can enable it on my magazines.
Yohan Yukiya Seseㆍ사요한・謝雪矢
@greg Thank you. I can see the carousel of posts in the For You feed.
I think I was just confused what it was that was being activated. I initially understood it as something similar to @darnell@flipboard.com , so something like @youronlyone@flipboard.com . I misunderstood, it's on me. ^^;;

@youronlyone @pfefferle@mastodon.social @darnell@one.darnell.one @Flipboard @pfefferle@notiz.blog @index @manton @matt @darnell@flipboard.com we are looking into it. It should show up as a carouself of posts in your For You feed.
