They may share a suffix (and a protocol), but Blacksky isn’t hitching its wagon to the Bluesky appThey may share a suffix (and a protocol), but Blacksky isn’t hitching its wagon to the Bluesky app or team. Founder and CEO @rudyfraser.com is creating a new, fiercely independent playbook for […]

Love to see that this @surf feed maker took my Zen Tok feed and made it bigger and better by adding Eckhart Tolle's YouTube channel and a channel from a new-to-me NY Times bestselling author. This is an example of Surf's "building block" approach to feed creation. Pretty cool that anyone in the […]

"the best career advice I ever got was that every time you do well in your career you're going to get to choose between power and autonomy and you should always choose autonomy" - David Peirce - The Vergecast #video #quote #podcast #verge #advice #careeradvice

Just shared my experience at Flipboard's Fediverse House at SXSW in Austin. I was honoured to join @miaq panel discussing community building on the open social web. Check out the video of our discussion. #fediverse […]

Fighting words from @molly0xfff's opening talk at the Fediverse House at SXSW 2025: “We're facing an existential threat. We need a web that serves people not profit, a web built on protocols, not platforms…It's being built right now by people like you in communities like this one.” Thank you […]

I'm going to start evangelizing that publishers and journalists display Mastodon and/or Bluesky links on all of their pages and invest in those communities. They need to be doubling down in places where their connection with their audience is genuine and sustainable. I'm so tired of seeing media […]

I just had such a lovely conversation with #bsd "barista" @stefano#bsdabout building community here. What a nice way to start the week -- by being reminded that there are thoughtful humans who care about genuine connection. Thank you to @_elena and others who recommended him. Now I want more fedi […]

Who are the finest community builders in the #activitypub ecosystem, in your opinion?

Little known fact: @evan and I worked at a startup in 2020 that never launched. It wasn't a great experience for me, but I loved the team we had hired, including Evan. I didn't know much then about #activitypub or the social web. I went back to @Flipboard […] [Original post on flipboard.social]

I really appreciated the opportunity to take part in the first ever #FediverseHouse at #SXSW. Online connections are good, and then IRL connections deepen the trust. Thanks to the @Flipboard#fediversehouse#sxsweam for getting it together (and @surf is looking excellent, nice work!). Thanks to @swf for helping me […]

Just closed the #fediversehouse at #sxsw after two amazing days. Loved being IRL with so many people who are building the open social web together. Let’s do it again next year!

Be still my beating heart! New @pluralistic stan over here. 🙋🏼‍♀️ The man is seriously brilliant and I could listen to him all day. Can't wait to get the recording of his talk out into the world. #fediversehouse #fediversehouse2025 #sxsw #sxsw2025

Nails to match @surf teal for #sxsw 🚀

Our friends at Flipboard are organizing a "Fediverse House" at SXSW in Austin, TX, March 9 and 10. They are putting together a great program with people such as @pluralistic, @molly0xfff, @mmasnick, @evan, @pcottle and @pfrazee.com ! If you are at SXSW, check it out! […]

I added some new hashtags and sources to my custom collage feed on @surf, including #collagechallenge, #hki-collage, and hki-collage.bsky.social (a new collage community in Helsinki). Joins all the #februllage tags and content, plus other sources I love. ✂️ […]

Whether they're celebrated, like Carrie Mae Weems and Gordon Parks, or overlooked, like Coreen Simpson, Black photographers have had a huge impact on art, culture and society. In this week's The Shot newsletter, @miaq payed tribute to some visionary storytellers through the years […]

Collage fans know that #februllage is our Super Bowl. ✂️ What's *so cool* is I've added that hashtag to my @surf Collage Cult custom feed, so now I can see all the #februllage2025 activity across the social web, along with updates from other relevant hashtags, like #collage, #collageart […]

Today in @surf feeds, I really love @msecchi's "Italian Cuisine" -- gets me in touch with the food of my ancestors. My grandmother used to make the best marinara, which I still cannot replicate. The quest continues, and maybe this feed can help me […]

Here's a gorgeous @Flipboard Storyboard from @leobrogioni, who has curated stories about what happens when photographers mix new technologies and alternative processes. "Cyanotype, photograms, silver print and anthotype carry the allure of the handmade and precious," he writes […]

I love reading. As I try to wean myself off any walled garden platform, I'm really excited to discover book recommendations from across the social web. To do this, I created a feed for book lovers you might find helpful once you try @surf […]

I've got invite codes for @surf for members of Mastodon's #collage or #art community. Lmk if you want one!

I've got invite codes for @surf for members of the #collage community. What's Surf, you might ask? It's a new browser for the social web from the people @Flipboard#collage a place to create and surf custom feeds around the things you care about — for me, that's things like collage, #photography […]

Hey, collage artists! Who’s vowed to make more art in 2025? 🙋‍♀️ Can we help each other stay accountable? #collagecommunity #collage #surfcollageclub

The name "Doechii" is on everyone's lips right now, thanks to her blinding Tiny Desk performance yesterday (h/t to @miaq for sharing it with us!). Here, the rapper is in conversation with the fearless Brittany Howard for @RollingStone's Musicians on Musicians series. "Since I came into the […]

This is so good I've sent it to everyone I know who might care about cultural moments. It's not enough just to be a talented musician anymore. There must be artistry and swag too, and oh Doechii and crew have it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-91vymvIH0c #music #doechii #npr #nowplaying

The fediverse has no central authority — which brings both challenges and opportunities for how it's governed. For Dot Social, @mike spoke with @kissane and @darius, two of the smartest people working on this, about the impact of the 2024 U.S. Presidential election on fediverse work, the "Xodus […]

#fediverse roll-call: I know this is a looooooong way out, but anyone here so far definitely going to be at #sxsw next year? I'll probably keep asking this from now till March. 😜 #sxsw25

📢 Big News! Today, we’re announcing that Flipboard is beginning to federate our publisher partner accounts in Brazil and expanding federation in Canada, Germany and the U.K. Now, people in the fediverse can follow 150 newly federated publisher accounts […] [Original post on flipboard.social]

#fediverse! I have finally bridged this account to Bluesky. But now I have many handles -- @miaq#fediverse@mia @[email protected] @miaq.bsky.social @miaq.flipboard.social.ap.brid.gy Does it come down to personal preference how I use each one, and then down to user preference over how my audience […]

My father died on Thursday. Here's a version of the post I put on Instagram, sharing a bit more about his (and thus my) life...Wanted to share here too since this is a unique community. ❤️ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It is with great sadness that I share that […] [Original post on flipboard.social]
