[Flipboard Expands Publisher Federation with International Partners]

Flipboard just launched 124 new publishers to the Fediverse - bringing the total number it hosts to 1,241.

"We’re excited to announce that Flipboard is beginning to federate publisher accounts in France, Italy, and Spain, while also expanding federation in Brazil, Germany, and the U.K. — making quality journalism even more accessible across the fediverse.

People using Mastodon, Threads, and other platforms on the open social web (also known as the fediverse) can now discover and follow stories from an outstanding lineup of publishers in these regions."

This is the kind of thing that the permissionless fediverse makes possible. Flipboard didn't need to ask permission of the social platforms to make these changes - it could just do it on their behalf, opening these publishers up to huge new potential audiences on social media.

Notably these publications include Der Spiegel, Vanity Fair Italia, and The Evening Standard. It's exciting stuff, and Flipboard is doing a great job bringing publishers online.
