FinchHaven , 4 months ago @Deadman Couple thoughts, because I read some common misunderstandings The Fediverse is a broad, generic concept like "democracy" No one is running "Fediverse" anywhere or is homed on a "Fediverse" instance #ActivityPub is a protocol, a specification if you will It must be implemented in a specific software distribution (to varying degrees of accuracy) to exist Again, no one is running "ActivityPub" anywhere or is homed on an "ActivityPub" instance "Viewing content from other #instances, one needs to follow a profile from that instance" and "Explicitly viewing instance content, user needs to sign up on their instance" No I can go to your instance in a web browser, to /public/local/ and read the public posts on your specific instance Here: https://mstdn.social/public/local But no, I cannot see anyone's Home feed unless I follow that person, or follow hashtags which we use and Follow in common Which is the only reason I saw your post in the first place, the hashtag #Fediverse cc @technology

Couple thoughts, because I read some common misunderstandings
No one is running "Fediverse" anywhere or is homed on a "Fediverse" instance
It must be implemented in a specific software distribution (to varying degrees of accuracy) to exist
Again, no one is running "ActivityPub" anywhere or is homed on an "ActivityPub" instance
and
"Explicitly viewing instance content, user needs to sign up on their instance"
No
I can go to your instance in a web browser, to /public/local/ and read the public posts on your specific instance
Here: https://mstdn.social/public/local
But no, I cannot see anyone's Home feed unless I follow that person, or follow hashtags which we use and Follow in common
Which is the only reason I saw your post in the first place, the hashtag #Fediverse
