You can now follow @Flipboard's editorial accounts in the fediverse. These are carefully curated by human editors from quality sources. If you'd rather follow just specific types of content from each desk — for example, basketball but not tennis from our Sports Desk, or health but not wellness from the Health Desk, just follow Magazines (curated feeds of topical content). To do this, add the handle for the account into the search bar (for example, @ElectionCentral) and you'll see all the Magazines that account is currently updating.

@ElectionCentral — Politics coverage, mainly focused on the U.S.

@health — News and features about health, wellness and self-care.

@science — Space, climate change, ecology, research news and more.

@tech — Coverage of subjects like cybersecurity, AI, social media, health technology, gear, and the tech industry.

@theculturedesk — What you need to know about movies, music, books, pop culture and parenting.

@thenewsdesk — Top headlines in news, tech, business, sports, entertainment and more.

@thesportsdesk — The latest in everything from basketball to golf, with a particular focus on U.S. sports.
