p.s. Most of these accounts post a normal amount, but some of them post a LOT. If you want to narrow down what kind of posts you get from an account, try following an account's sub-account(s) instead of following the main account itself.

I've attached an example diagram at the bottom of this post to show what I mean, the example is a post from NPR's account.

Alternatively, you can use Mastodon's Lists feature to put accounts into their own mini-timelines, more info at https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-the-lists-feature-on-mastodon

You need a garden section.
Otherwise, it's a fantastic list.

Most of the accounts are empty... Is it a setting in my instance?

@johnglass @brianstorms

Yeah, the links are direct to the publishers' own sites. If you follow NPR it will just be stories with links direct to npr.org for example. The only way you would see Flipboard pages is if you were already browsing the flipboard site or app anyway.

Also, the federation is full activitypub, they can follow Mastodon etc accounts from Flipboard if they want to. The more of us follow and interact with them from here, the more likely they are to explore this audience.

@pettter @brianstorms

I think there's some misunderstanding here?

Flipboard isn't scraping sites without permission, these accounts belong to the publications themselves. Some of them have links to their Flipboard account from their own websites, see the attached screenshot. (Taken from https://www.pcgamer.com)

By the way, for what it's worth, I've only listed Flipboard accounts if they don't already have an active official Mastdon etc account. I checked each one before making the thread.

Obviously best would be indie servers based on FOSS though, that's why I've avoided listing Flipboard accounts from publications that are already on Mastodon etc. And hopefully more publications follow the example set by @TexasObserver etc and set up their own servers.
