A great new toolset just opened up from @Flipboard enabling users to browser, sort, sift through literally thousands of federated "magazines," brand or org accounts, and fipboard TV accounts - all federating out and ready to copy and paste into your Fediverse app to follow.
Searchable and sortable in every way you can imagine (by most followers, newest, by language, etc)
Check it out.
@tchambers This is nice!
Hi @Flipboard! If I may share a feature request, would you maybe consider supporting a "server" URL parameter that would allow opening the links on the specified domain?
Let me illustrate how this would work.
If you visit https://most-followed-mastodon-accounts.stefanhayden.com/?server=indieweb.social and you have an account on indieweb.social, all the links will open on your server, so you don't have to copy the usernames and search for them.
You could add an input field so people can put in their own server, but even without that, this would make it possible to share a link with people on specific servers, or whole communities.
Most followed accounts acrosss the Fediverse as tracked by @[email protected]
Mind you, this is just a simple workaround to this problem.

But it would be nice to have in the meantime!
This would be great for https://explore.ghost.org/social-web!
And to drive this point a bit further, it will allow doing things like this:
Notice how the "popular accounts" link at the bottom of the page matches the domain this invitation page is customized for.
I'd love to add a similar link to other directories and make the onboarding smoother!
@paul Yes, I am really impressed by all the effort their team is putting into decentralized web!
@stefan It's been a while since I have posted this, but on days when my motor control is off due to my Parkinson's, or in times when my meds are "turned off" in-between doses, being able to "Flip" through my Mastodon timeline has been a godsend and has granted me more #accessibility to the #Fediverse as well as all the content through the #Flipboard app. Flipping through my timeline allows me to stay connected socially. It is really a great #a11y application.
@paul @mike @Flipboard This is really awesome!
@greg Yep, this is nice!

(See the link added at the bottom.)
Thank you, again!
@mike The team has already added this, with lightning speed!
@mike Ha, they're trying to impress their boss!
