@feditips @bookwyrm New here... So ActivityPub is what drives #mastodon and #bookWyrm, right? So just because both aps use it they can federate?

@denebeim @feditips @bookwyrm yes, because they both use ActivityPub they can federate. Though it might not be seamless, because of differences between Mastodon and BookWyrm.

@feditips @denebeim @bookwyrm yes, ActivityPub is a set of rules that Mastodon and BookWyrm decided to follow, so that the can be “federated”. Pixelfed (and many other apps) also do that. It’s truly magical 😍
