@pundir You can actually do this by connecting your fedi account to Flipboard. Go to the Following tab (the tab with 4 squares) and select the accounts tab. Then sign in to mastodon and you'll see your home timeline, mentions, lists, etc. and can fully reply, like, etc.

now at @[email protected]replied to Mike McCue on last edited by
@[email protected] @[email protected] well while you are here i wanna ask the question as the original post that started this thread, why the meta fedi icon instead of the original? was there a reason for using that one instead? i think it'd be better to use the original icon to prevent any future confusion or anything like "the thing facebook made"

@mike I tried the same yesterday. The timeline loaded but I couldn't post and felt like it worked in read-only mode. But thank you for confirming that flipboard can be used as a Mastodon client. I'll try again today.

@sneexy @gabboman fair question. I don’t think the fediverse icon works particularly well when scaled down and when placed next to or on top of avatars. Also the vast majority of people have never even seen that icon. Meanwhile the threads fediverse icon is simple and clean, doesn’t rely on color, and works well scaled down. Most of all, whether we like it or not, millions of people are being exposed to this icon everyday on Threads as a symbol of the fediverse so I think it’s a pragmatic choice.

@mike @sneexy @gabboman at this point it would be better to just fetch the instance's favicon (like *key and akkoma does)
unless it's just for promo material then ignore the fetch suggestion, but nonetheless it's frankly disrespectful to the network that y'all are compliant in meta's attempts at the EEE of fediverse -

@alex @mike @sneexy tbh icons can be nsfw in bad cases, and also "what this?" for people
also if I understood correctly for design reasons its on greyscale so yeah.
tbh I was half joking on the first post and wasn't expecting a reply haha

@Mike McCue A new proposal for a Fediverse logo is a Unicode character: ⁂ (U+2042).
Most of all, whether we like it or not, millions of people are being exposed to this icon everyday on Threads as a symbol of the fediverse so I think it’s a pragmatic choice.
This would not only allow, but actively help Meta assume control over the Fediverse.

@pundir @FlipboardCS Excellent!

@jupiter_rowland That’s a cool suggestion. Will explore that and other options. They key is we need everyone to use the same icon otherwise users will be very confused.
