Today we are beginning to open Flipboard to the Fediverse, a rapidly emerging part of the Web which includes social services like Mastodon, Threads, Pixelfed, Firefish and PeerTube all built on a revolutionary open protocol called ActivityPub.

Here's their rollout plan:

Federation in Three Phases

When and how is this going to happen? The process of opening Flipboard to the Fediverse is called “federation” and it will happen in three distinct phases between now and April:

Phase 1 (Today): We are federating 25 publishers and creators so that we can test and gather feedback

Phase 2 (January): We will enable anyone in the Fediverse to follow and engage with any public curator on Flipboard

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

This is the list of publishers that are being federated today:
The Verge, Fast Company, Semafor, Spin, News Literacy Project, Medium, Digiday, Science Alert, Polygon, Frommers, Pitchfork, Refinery29, Mental Floss, The Root, Kotaku, The 74, Joy Sauce, Indie Wire, LGBTQ Nation, Smithsonian Magazine, AFAR, The Christian Science Monitor, Erin Brockovich, Canada's National Observer, The Conversation
