@tchambers @renchap Yes, would love the ability to have a generic FASP for a global feed service. having a hashtag service, to me, is somewhat equivalent to having a custom feed with 1 source which is the hastag. The challenges really are in the UI: how would a mastodon client, for example, show this a user who wanted to see such a feed? Probably needs to be separate from the current follow model as you don't really want all posts from the custom feed to show up in your timeline.

@lakelady @tchambers We have ios and android right now. Working on desktop ... requires some new layouts

@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.

@BeAware @mike Thanks, I just suspended. Not sure how I missed that

@BeAware @mike Should be taken care of now

@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

@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

@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.

@youronlyone @Flipboard What version of the android app are you using?

@BeAware @Sibshops @Flipboard topics are not followable in the fediverse. Some of our users (e.g. publishers and creators) are followable and their magazines. We do offer local news publishers like @SpotlightPA and @PennLivedotcom. The challenge with topics is that they are algorithmic from many non-federated sources so a follow action doesn't make much sense (because the items can change all the time and disappear, re-appear ... it is not follow timeline based). We've had some ideas on how to make it more direct, but not yet ventured down that path. Great question!

If you are attending fediforum I highly recommend watching this interview with Johannes ..... really gives great insight into the motivation behind the "unconfernece"

@youronlyone It's not all users and magazines, only specific ones. I think the ones available are searchable on flipboard.social (search for flipboard.com)

@mike @cdevroe @morehubbub @FlipboardCS Colin, can you give me some example url's where this is happening?

@jenniferplusplus @thisismissem @tchambers @kissane @darius agreed …. 1000 times over

@thisismissem @tchambers @kissane @darius This is probably the largest risk. Even on Flipboard, we regularly disable or otherwise limit hundreds of accounts created daily which have bad actors behind them. A major goal we have to to never allow these accounts to federate to begin with, but it is a cat and mouse game, so IFTAS and AP node admins working together will be crucial to a safe social environment.

@mike @lanartri @dot_social thanks for reporting, should be fixed now
