There's a powerful search for filtering by country, language or software (#Mastodon, #Flipboard, #Threads, #Ghost, #Bluesky...) & you can easily export the results for batch-following (in Mastodon at least).

I'm always searching for (verified!) accounts, that I missed. If you know some, please send them to @mho@social.heise.de

I muted the entire Flipboard instance. They were just annoying. If I need any of those, I use RSS.

AP is supposed to be interactive but I'm pretty sure none of them are looking at those. And the ones that are already have accounts so these are just redundant anyway.

How come so many of them are on flipboard? I wonder why they don't run their own instances

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Because they were added by Flipboard.

Thanks for the answer. This might be a dumb question but what does that mean exactly? Is Flipboard approaching the different media outlets and offering to share their content on Flipboard's instance? If so, what do the media outlets get out of using flipboard versus their own instance or a more generic instance like mastadon.social?

Flipboard is it's own media platform that is embracing AP. So these are just mirrors from Flipboard publishers.

We (@heiseonline@social.heise.de) have federated accounts on #Flipboard: The problem is, you still can only see the interactions in the app. But there you can't easily switch between two accounts. So I have my private one activated – and won't see the interactions.

And you're right: For accounts from organizations, that are in the #Fediverse a federated account on Flipboard is not of much use. But there are some, that aren't otherwise reachable from the Fediverse. (RSS is another story, that's true)

Hey,

No much to add to this myself but it's awesome and you should keep up the good work!
