    What exactly is an ActivityPub server?

        @garret @Tiuku It’s what is hosting both of your profiles, and mine too. It’s a server which complies to the ActivityPub protocol https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/
        This is the standard that powers the Fediverse, allowing servers and their users to speak to each other. Mastodon, Lemmy and so on implement it so that they can easily interoperate. The SW that OP linked to is simply another implementation of this protocol

          So is it like another web application that just happens to implement ActivityPub, or is it somehow dedicated server which doesn’t do much on it’s own?

          Like am I to treat this similarly as if someone told me about a new HTTP server?

            @Tiuku No, it’s not a “new HTTP”, it’s not a replacement for Mastodon, Lemmy and all of the others, it’s rather an alternative to those implementations, they all run on the same standard, speak the same language and work with each other.
