Fediverse
A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".
Getting started on Fediverse;
- What is the fediverse?
- Fediverse Platforms
- How to run your own community
I'm going to set up an instance when I'm back home.
Worth keeping an eye on -
What exactly is an ActivityPub server?
Actually I was wondering the same...
@garret @Tiuku It's what is hosting both of your profiles, and mine too. It's a server which complies to the ActivityPub protocol https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/
This is the standard that powers the Fediverse, allowing servers and their users to speak to each other. Mastodon, Lemmy and so on implement it so that they can easily interoperate. The SW that OP linked to is simply another implementation of this protocol
So is it like another web application that just happens to implement ActivityPub, or is it somehow dedicated server which doesn't do much on it's own?
Like am I to treat this similarly as if someone told me about a new HTTP server?
