I'm not familiar with the concept of a pub. Moreover, this is virtual.

So need to understand the entire concept in a more detailed, story like manner.

It's actually more like a post office than a pub :3

Activitypub is just a protocol that basically sends notifications between servers. It goes: "hey user on that server liked something on the other server - better let it know" and then the other server gets the notification, it processes what it means, and applies the like to the post.. or comment or whatever other action

So l can make a server of mine own and get linked to this post office service ??

Assuming you have the skills for it, yes you could :3

Is lemmy the only means of joining this post office service ?

[–] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The fediverse contains quite a few services besides lemmy :3 there's mastodon, peertube, pixelfed and a bunch of others. I can't name them all off the top of my head, and im at work so no time to look them up
