Comment on Flipboard has begun testing ActivityPub federation of user accounts

  It’s because they’re a user, not a community. Lemmy doesn’t let us follow users (at least not yet).

    Hm, so what does this mean for federating his “posts” to Lemmy?

      It means as far as I’m aware, that ain’t happening. You’d have to follow from something that supports following users (Mastodon is the obvious, but does Kbin do this? 🤷‍♀️)

    I don’t know how I’d feel about following users from Lemmy TBH. It’d feel like trying to compete with Mastodon or other microblogging platforms and I’m not sure we need it in this space.

    I’d find it interesting to have a unique identity for services in the fediverse instead.
