@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?
