I've been an advocate for federated Flipboard.

Search for ActivityPub lately? It's all Flibboard posts, unrelated to ActivityPub on my #ElasticSearch enabled Mastodon instance.

Flipboard adds "utm_medium=activitypub" so any search for activitypub returns only Flipboard posts

The #ActivityPub hashtag works ok but plain text search is corrupted by their UTM. #search

@[email protected] I don't see how this is Flipboard's problem, whatever search engine this is should strip out query parameters (or at least the utm ones) before indexing.

Ok, that's good to know. The "search engine" would be Mastodon with ElasticSearch enabled, in my case.

Off to search Github for reported issues, suggestions, etc, related to this.
