#ActivityPub is super cool once you see it in action.

For instance, you can visit the new StarTrek lemmy server here: https://startrek.website/c/startrek. Looks like a reddit sub with posts, threaded comments, upvotes, &c.

OR you can follow the same server on Mastodon ‪@startrek‬.
Every thread and comment shows up as a boosted post.

Cool, right? Now, say you find a comment that you want to reply to. Post through your favorite Mastodon app, and that feeds right back to the thread on the #Lemmy server! 🤯

@startrek oh, neat. I’m posting this from Mastodon, and didn’t realize it would also START a thread on your lemmy server. Sorry Star Trek folks, just using you as a fun example! 😅

And also a little 😳

Lmao! I wanted to tell you that I didn’t see anything but was too afraid it was a joke that went over my head.

Don’t sell yourself short! Your explanation was perfect. It just demonstrated what you meant TOO well.

I was initially skeptical but I really like this Federated business. One question I find myself asking when browsing is “where is this person from?”, following them back to their Lemmy or Mastodon and finding a whole bunch of cool posts there!

@awilbert @startrek hello from Mastodon! Thanks for this post, I’m still figuring out how the federated stuff works, and you helped it click a little bit more! Plus, now I get to see more Star Trek stuff in both Lemmy and Mastodon.

I have high hopes for ActivityPub/the Fediverse, but it has some usability challenges. For instance finding this post on my server so I could comment took more than 20 minutes.

Took me a while, too. The federation concept is awesome, but I think there needs to be an easier way to discover what’s available.

@awilbert @startrek @nfd I’m hoping to set this up similarly for The Expanse. Could you direct me to the right place to learn how?
