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

    Fuck me what a rabbit hole: ActivityPub is built on ActivityStreams which use Action Vocabulary and this is all structured with JSON-LD.

        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.
