Now you can follow profiles from the fediverse right inside the Flipboard app!
This week in the Community tab, we're featuring voices in politics, including @barackobama, @gtconway3, @potus, @joyannreid, @mollyjongfast and @barackobama.

@Flipboard
That POTUS link goes to a strange profile.

@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 clicking the follow button.

@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.

@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" buttons would be greyed out for me, with a message that tells me to first request federation for my account!?!

@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).

@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!

@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.

@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?

@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.

Föderation EN Mo 19.08.2024 14:07:58
@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.
