Hey does anybody know if there’s a description of ActivityPub available that isn’t just the spec? I realized I don’t actually know how the protocol works, and I’d be interested in learning more. May have to just bite the bullet and dive into the spec – it doesn’t actually look too bad based on a quick glance – but a summary would be cool
There are various links here:

Fuck me what a rabbit hole: ActivityPub is built on ActivityStreams which use Action Vocabulary and this is all structured with JSON-LD.

I think that for example the search feature has nothing to do with activity pub but it’s a feature of each of those software that are using activity pub (Lemmy, mastodon etc). I would guess it operates on those internal structures each of those implementations are using.
Its easier to grok if you watch lemmy server logs
The overview in the spec is probably as good of a summary as anyone could give you.
Another commenter had this to share, it’s got a bunch of guides etc.
I’m curious myself. Has anyone done a YouTube explainer?
I think this link from the comments here had some video guides
Edit: in Spanish 😅
Time to learn Spanish for the video. Much easier than reading the spec. /s
