Mike McCue - Hello Fediverse. I'm posting this tonight from my federated Flipboard profile! We're now testing our #ActivityPub integration starting with my account. You can follow me here to see all the stories I'm curating about things like startups, photography and of course, the #Fediverse. Curious to hear your thoughts on how this is working. We’ll incorporate your feedback as we make more progress on federating Flipboard. Stay tuned for lots more soon.

For those wanting to follow them from kbin their profile is @mike@flipboard.com

That gave me a 404 error. Though this worked for me.
Edit nvm Livus beat me to it.

@Gamers_Mate that works for me too but it's because we're both on kbin.social specifically.

[-] livus@kbin.social 2 points 8 months ago

Thanks, that didn't work for me. Try @mike

Doesn't work with me because you haven't specified the instance

[-] livus@kbin.social 2 points 8 months ago

@Fitik I think you and I are having the same problem with each other's link?

Your link took me to an empty profile on kbin, did mine take you to one on fedia.io?

What I typed was @mike@flipboard.com

In Fediverse you need not only to specify username but issuance as well, like in email

Like @ username @ instance, for example @ mike @ flipboard.com or @ Fitik @ fedia.io

@Fitik yes, but I did. There is something about kbin commenting that must strip it out again so that if you are on another instance it doesn't link right. I had the same problem with your link that you have for mine.

I typed @mike@flipboard.com
