This is the best summary I could come up with:

This follows last year’s introduction of a Mastodon integration in the app, replacing Twitter, and the introduction of support for ActivityPub, the social networking protocol that powers the open source, decentralized social networks that include Mastodon and others.

In February, Flipboard announced it would begin to add its creators and their social magazines to the fediverse as well, meaning that the curated magazines of links and other social posts that its creators typically share within the Flipboard app could now find a broader audience.

By sharing creators’ posts and links with the wider fediverse, Flipboard’s publishing partners gained their own native ActivityPub feeds so they could be discovered by Mastodon users and those on other federated social apps.

“This is a major step toward fully federating our platform,” noted Flipboard CEO Mike McCue in an announcement.

“We’re not just making curated content on Flipboard viewable, but enabling two-way communication so users can see activity and engage with fediverse communities.

In addition to the newly federated magazines, Flipboard is also bringing a more integrated fediverse experience to its own app.
