I just discovered that we can follow the magazines the profiles publish, like !brasil-dw_brasil@flipboard.com that turns into a community, or follow them directly like @dw_brasil@flipboard.com, turning all of their posts into a microblog feed (on mbin, mastodon, etc).

Might be interesting to people, if they want to see some different type of posts, news, articles or cultural analysis.

I see this as a win-win, they get their "someone entered your website through flipboard and the fediverse" (the links come with only this tracking) and we get different "content".

I just searched in there, like the new yorker: https://flipboard.com/@NewYorker and got the handle to follow the profile @NewYorker@flipboard.com, on the magazines I got the handle https://flipboard.com/@newyorker/cartoons-1hgpnrb6z and put the name (without the random alphanumeric) with the account like !cartoons-newyorker@flipboard.com.
