For the past couple of years, I’ve been talking more and more about ActivityPub, Fediverse, Mastodon, and lots of terms that may not always be familiar to everyone. If you were to start today, if you wanted to learn more about ActivityPub, the Fediverse, Webfinger, and how it all works, where would you start?

Following a discussion with @jackmcconnell, here are some the ressources I would recommend today:

• @pfefferle, the author of the ActivityPub plugin for WordPress, has talked about the topic at length on his blog, on the Fediverse, at WordCamps, and on podcasts. I recommend following him!
• This podcast episode introduces the concepts of the Fediverse and how you can be active on the Fediverse with your WordPress blog.
• @docpop recently started the Fediverse Files podcast, where he interviews important folks in the space and asks just the right questions, in a friendly tone and format. That can be a great resource to learn more about the Fediverse.
• For anyone interested in learning about about the underlying technology but not wanting to read through the whole spec, I would recommend this document.

Do you have any other recommendations? Please reply to this post to let me know 🙂
