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.
It’s because they’re a user, not a community. Lemmy doesn’t let us follow users (at least not yet).
Hm, so what does this mean for federating his “posts” to Lemmy/my instance?
I don’t know how I’d feel about following users from Lemmy TBH. It’d feel like trying to compete with Mastodon or other microblogging platforms and I’m not sure we need it in this space.
I’d find it interesting to have a unique identity for services in the fediverse instead.
