Would you believe "Jingle Bells" wasn't originally conceived as a Christmas song? 🎅

Snopes explains the original intent of the song, written in the 1850s: https://flip.it/qR0SVl

Merry Christmas to all!

People who’ve figured out the fediverse understand its power. Hear from early adopters who explain their lightbulb moments in our new short video series. The use cases and potential of the system are awesome, and these stories are just the beginning. Tell us: what's your favorite thing about the fediverse? We're listening and looking for more people to feature.

@[email protected] We're trying our best — collaborating with lots of clever people and listening to all the smart folks from the fediverse before and after we do things!

@[email protected] Hi Toni! We've asked our colleagues and in a situation where you are a non-Flipboard user commenting on a federated Flipboard publisher's post via a fediverse platform like Mastodon, they will be able to see and comment on your posts if they are logged in on the Flipboard app.

That said, a lot of our publishers are doing their curation via Flipboard on the web, where they won't receive notifications about comments. In addition, many of them do the bulk of their curation (though not all) by RSS. So the real-world answer is it's technically possible! Hope that answers your question!

@[email protected] You're welcome! We have the U.S. and Canadian versions too and the U.S. site also has an active presence here: @[email protected]

@[email protected] Thanks for flagging — we just added the tag. For some reason we had added Ireland as a tag rather than Canada (which is strangely appropriate, given where we are and where we came from!).

@Tim_[email protected] Thanks so much Tim! It's been a great place to explore!

Forward-thinking journalists are not letting the “media apocalypse” happen to them. Instead, they’re doing the work that arguably has been most critical all along: building direct connections with their readers. @[email protected]'s @[email protected] and @[email protected]'s @[email protected] join fediverse futurist @[email protected] for a conversation about the discovery and sustainability of quality journalism.
