I still haven't quite figured out how this works but here is a comment from a completely unrelated instance!
@sting here's me trying to figure out how activity pub works. https://beehaw.org/comment/188913.
The entire thread that follows is very useful for understanding how this works, in a simple way.
Edit: markdown wasn't working.
beehaw.orgI put together a guide aimed at Redditors for Kbin and Lemmy! - Beehaw(Reminder: if you have shared the original version in a public post with an old
version up, replacing it with this one might be more helpful.) I want to
preface, if you see a mistake in the image or have something helpful to add, go
right ahead! I still have the layered files for this, so edits can be made very
quickly. I chose to handwrite the text to avoid font copyright infringement.
Feel free to share this poster as you wish, especially on Reddit. All I ask is
that you respect the license and don’t remove my socials at the bottom. If
anyone’s addition is included, I’ll credit them, and if this gets added onto (or
translated) by someone else later, they can add their info as well. I hope
someone can find it useful with the subreddit blackouts right around the corner.
I want to thank the Beehaw admins so much for their amazing work! (Poster
edited; I spotted a duplicated word, mrmanager@lemmy.today noted the lack of
whitespace; current version is slightly larger and has been spaced out. You can
still request the 800x2000 size, but know it is a little squished.) (Edit 2:
Removed defederation part as it’s not really required. The email analogy
blackcoffee@beehaw.org [blackcoffee@beehaw.org] suggested has been added,
thanks!) (Edit 3: Here’s another version making the interconnectivity a bit
clearer and mentioning some cool-looking reader apps that have been suggested!
Also made the image slightly longer for ease of viewing. I might do some small
cosmetic changes tomorrow) (Edit 4 is here with the date updated towards the
bottom. This version contains a reminder to verify your email, lets people know
why mlem isn’t showing up on App Store searches, and added fedia.io
[http://fedia.io] to Kbin instances. Some colors have been changed slightly to
be more mobile friendly, as this is written and edited from a phone tablet. If
you have a hard time reading this because of the changes, please let me know.
Thank you all for the help and tips!)
