Gregory's ServerHad some time to think about this more. Today's @Flipboard news is substantial and I can't wait for this ActivityPub integration to become widely available, especially for publishers and content creators.
I should write more about this in a blog post, but wanted to plop down some quick thoughts.
As @mike pointed out, it's a break down of the walled garden of content. This hopefully creates greater exposure/promotion of Magazines, and maybe even Storyboards.

@Flipboard's ActivityPub push evolves the platform away from being an app-centric service to something almost akin to being on a higher plane.
Okay, admittedly that sounds prophetic and like its vaporware, but Flipboard has spent the past decade showing curation works, but now it's redefining that for a social world that really has seen massive upheaval. This ain't your 2000s social.
It presents a great opp for publisher's audience development teams too (cont'd).
