Can someone eli5 me what’s activity pub? Is this lemmy or Kbin?
you get a slap on the wrist this time for not looking in the article at the very least
ActivityPub is the underlying protocol both are built on - it's what allows posts from lemmy to propagate and be interacted with on kbin and mastodon users comment on both via their existing accounts. Think of it as like email protocol but for social media.
In addition, ActivityPub is a data format protocol used for communication between fediverse instance servers; Lemmy and Kbin use ActivityPub technology for federation.
Activity Pub is the open source platform that Lemmy Kbin Mastodon Beehaw and all the rest of the Fediverse is running on top of.
