I've never really cared about Flipboard and thought they were just another blog site, but I'm starting to realize they do actually enjoy the fedi and internet freedom

I was never really into Flipboard but after watching their launch ad from 2010 I'm realizing that their business has always been about trying to jam fediverse functionality into web2. No surprise they're so all in
Great news
Tried to follow the dot_social@flipboard.video channel from Lemmy but it doesn’t show up.
Shouldn’t it contain the « channel » string in the name ? :/
I couldn't get it work either but figured it was some authorized fetch stuff going on. What do you mean by channel string?
I see. I don’t know much about authorized fetch, I’ll have to investigate a bit (I’m able to follow the linked account from mastodon however).
I was able to find greg_channel@flipboard.video on this instance for example, a wild guess was that maybe lemmy expects peertube « communities » to have the « channel » string in the name but it’s unlikely 😂
