ActivityPub is so neat! With all the new implementations coming out, it's slowly becoming my "one stop shop" internet aggregator.
For example, all from within my Mastodon instance I can:
Follow communities on Lemmy and Kbin, allowing me to interact with every post/comment and make my own post or comment to any community.
Follow my favorite podcasts and get new episodes directly in my feed via PodcastIndex.org
Follow WordPress blogs that have the ActivityPub plugin activated.
SOON enough I'll be able to:
Interact/follow accounts on Threads (and hopefully someday Instagram)
Follow/interact with comments/posts/communities from NodeBB forums.
This protocol is changing the internet and how I use it every day.
PS. If you want more information on how to do any of these things, just let me know and I will explain. Though please limit to asking about one or two at a time, as some are quite intricate in their implementations.
Edit: Nitter has been shut down 2 days after I posted this. Oh well. Fuck Xhitter
@BeAware just a thought: you can do all this stuff anonymously too, can't you? I.e. Following blogs, keeping up to date on various things, like a newer RSS reader
@BeAware Do you happen to know what links the accounts? For example, if you have multiple Threads accounts with different user names, can you still link them into a single ActivityPub account (without Meta knowing you're doing that)?
@BeAware I recently discovered pixelfed.social which has been a great instagram replacement. You can fire it up, follow your pixelfed account from your mastodon account, then. when you add something to pixelfed, when you see it show up in your mastodon feed you can boost it from there.
