    Couple thoughts, because I read some common misunderstandings

    1. The Fediverse is a broad, generic concept like “democracy”

    No one is running “Fediverse” anywhere or is homed on a “Fediverse” instance

    1. #ActivityPub is a protocol, a specification if you will

    It must be *implemented* in a specific software distribution (to varying degrees of accuracy) to exist

    Again, no one is running “ActivityPub” anywhere or is homed on an “ActivityPub” instance

    1. “Viewing content from other #instances, one needs to follow a profile from that instance”

    and

    “Explicitly viewing instance content, user needs to sign up on their instance”

    No

    I can go to your instance in a web browser, to /public/local/ and read the public posts on your specific instance

    Here: https://mstdn.social/public/local

    But no, I cannot see anyone’s Home feed unless I follow that person, or follow hashtags which we use and Follow in common

    Which is the only reason I saw your post in the first place, the hashtag #Fediverse
