I’d love to learn how to use it soon. Are there any competing open source federation protocols that have popped up since ActivityPub became more popular recently? Is it a trend that developers are pursuing? I know about BlueSky but we’ll ignore that. <img src="https://bb.devnull.land/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f601.png?v=031acc985fc" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--grin" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title="😁" alt="😁" /></p>]]></description><link>https://bb.devnull.land/topic/1be6fb10-688a-4598-be8a-1bc1912a2188/activitypub-is-an-interesting-and-popular-protocol.</link><generator>RSS for Node</generator><lastBuildDate>Tue, 02 Jun 2026 17:13:04 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://bb.devnull.land/topic/1be6fb10-688a-4598-be8a-1bc1912a2188.rss" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><pubDate>Sat, 26 Aug 2023 23:13:32 GMT</pubDate><ttl>60</ttl><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to #ActivityPub is an interesting and popular protocol. on Sat, 26 Aug 2023 23:33:22 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>ActivityPub is tops, for all it’s flaws.</p><p>Skip <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Nostr" rel="tag">#<span>Nostr</span></a>, too.
