Hii <3 ~

I have not worked with the whole ActivityPub thing yet, so I’d really like to know how the whole thing kinda works.

As far as i can tell, it allows you to use different parts of the fediverse by using just one account.

Does it also allow to create posts on other platforms, or just comments?

I have tried to log in with my smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone account, and it redirected me correctly to the blahaj lemmy site.

Then I entered my lemmy credentials and logged in. I got logged in to my lemmy correctly, but I also got an error just saying “Could not be accessed” in German.

And now I am still not logged in in PeerTube.

Sooo does blahaj zone support the ActivityPub, or is this incorrectly “kinda working” but not really?

    Think of it like email.

    You have an email account with yahoo. That allows you to send and receive emails from gmail users, but it doesn’t let you login to gmail with your yahoo account.

    There are projects around to try and change that, so you can login to one instance using your account on another instance, but at this point in time, it’s basically not a thing that can be done by most fediverse software.
