I apologize if there’s posts on this already. I’m still new here, and it’s very confusing.

I’ve read through the wikipedia entry, blogs, stack overflow posts, lemmy threads, etc… however in all of them, I feel like everyone glosses over how one goes about subscribing or even viewing content from other “packages”. For example, I have an account on lemmy.world, and am using the lemmy mobile app. I’d like to view / subscribe / participate in content from Misskey. Is this possible?

Everything I’ve read suggests it is, given that both lemmy and misskey leverage the same protocol, though I can’t figure out how that works.

    There is one app I know of that is for generic ActivityPub activity, https://docs.microblog.pub/

    But as you said, in the more complex UIs like Lemmy, Mastodon, PeerTube, it would be a challenge to make the different forms of content fit the same structures. Micropub isn’t exactly nice to look at, but it is basic enough to be able to serve the different types of content… kinda
