Hey Guys. I'm trying to subscribe to an external communitu (battlemaps@lemmy.world), but i'm not sure what the syntax is for such a search. Manually inputting fedia.io/m/battlemaps@lemmy.world to the URL doesn't seem to help either. Am I missing something?
Welcome to ActivityPub! Nearly all of the Fediverse can talk to each other in some way, the main barrier is that a lot of the apps are in early development and you are fairly limited in how those interactions can take place, but that will come in time. You can follow your favourite users and communities in Mastodon and comment from Mastodon, but you are limited vice versa at the moment.
Edit: I found my Lemmy profile in Bookwyrm, but not much there, and it looks like Pixelfed displays the images you post in your feed. :)
Fun facts, WordPress also uses ActivityPub. WP comprises 43% of the internet.
I'm seeing a lot of chat about the migration of "reddit brand" concepts like AMA and IAmA. We should probably come up with alternatives? Who's got some suggestions?
YouTube: videos were always 2nd to "native" ones on the other networks, but they could trivially open an #ActivityPub firehose (and maintain their preroll ads while doing so)
rest of Google: never found organic success and don't have a bet in the game apart from wanting to index everything
No predictions here, just stating the obvious. @fediverse
