Hey does anybody know if there’s a description of ActivityPub available that isn’t just the spec? I realized I don’t actually know how the protocol works, and I’d be interested in learning more. May have to just bite the bullet and dive into the spec – it doesn’t actually look too bad based on a quick glance – but a summary would be cool
There are various links here:

Fuck me what a rabbit hole: ActivityPub is built on ActivityStreams which use Action Vocabulary and this is all structured with JSON-LD.
Its easier to grok if you watch lemmy server logs

I think that for example the search feature has nothing to do with activity pub but it’s a feature of each of those software that are using activity pub (Lemmy, mastodon etc). I would guess it operates on those internal structures each of those implementations are using.
The overview in the spec is probably as good of a summary as anyone could give you.
Another commenter had this to share, it’s got a bunch of guides etc.
I’m curious myself. Has anyone done a YouTube explainer?
Kind of on topic: I posted this on my instance and then noticed that when I view the post on its home instance, there are far more comments. I wonder if those comments will show up on my instance at some point…
I think this link from the comments here had some video guides
Edit: in Spanish 😅
Time to learn Spanish for the video. Much easier than reading the spec. /s
