    description: Flipboard has implemented the ActivityPub protocol, making its content available to the broader Fediverse. Starting in 2023, Flipboard began federating its magazines and curators via ActivityPub, allowing users on Mastodon, Threads, Pixelfed, and other ActivityPub-compatible platforms to follow and interact with Flipboard content. Flipboard's full architecture is built around ActivityPub.
