Flipboard has recently begun federation, starting with 25 accounts. These accounts can be viewed from Kbin with their posts showing up as microblog posts.
What do you guys think about this? I don’t really know much about Flipboard or its implications for the fediverse, so I’m curious what others think about the matter.
If you’re interested, here are the accounts that have federated:

Kbin user here, these don’t work for me.
I thought it’s because the instance is missing, but I checked out your comment on fedia.io and it seems like everything is correct there.
Here on kbin.social it only displays
@usernamewithout the instance afterwards, and the link itself isn’t federated it seems. So kbin tries to resolve the name locally, fails, and just displays it in plaintext.deleted by creator
