Mike McCue - Hello Fediverse. I'm posting this tonight from my federated Flipboard profile! We're now testing our #ActivityPub integration starting with my account. You can follow me here to see all the stories I'm curating about things like startups, photography and of course, the #Fediverse. Curious to hear your thoughts on how this is working. We’ll incorporate your feedback as we make more progress on federating Flipboard. Stay tuned for lots more soon.

I never actually considered the idea that established websites implementing activitypub to join the fediverse would be an important part of its growth. This is fascinating!

I've been talking for a while about how the fediverse might dethrone youtube - which is maybe the biggest challenge it faces - to become the default form that people use to consume content, but I've only ever thought about it in terms of collapse and replacement. I don't see youtube implementing activitypub any time soon, but maybe if more sites fo it and it becomes a key selling point that might start to tip the balance more.

I'm interested to see a Fediverse implementation of a YouTube alternative. Being able to link a Microblog on Kbin to a Mastodon post and a Community post on a YT alt would be HUGE.

You should look into PeerTube.

Does Peertube implement ActivityPub?

Yep, PeerTube instances are all part of the Fediverse.

Orly. Hm, may try to setup some kind of support/mirror instance. I don't have a lot of space but could be helpful maybe.
