Have you heard of Mlem? It's in beta, and not really quite ready for everyday usage yet, but it's inspired by Apollo and the dev is working hard.

That's what I thought was so cool about Apple Vision. No controllers, UI is navigated by eye tracking...

And more focus on non-gaming tasks that should be much more small space freindly.

To be fair, in some countries they are.

And especially in younger age groups, in certain countries, the vast majority are on iPhone.

I think in the US iPhone is up to 70% of people 18-30.... and for teens something crazy like 90%.

I'm not defending Apple's practices here but you must understand for some, the vast majority of people they know and actually talk to are iPhone users.

The way activitypub works is that each community has a list of every server that has at least one subscriber to that community.

Every time someone does something in that community, the community sends all those servers a message that tells them what just happened.

So instead of a few hundred servers it might have to inform of your one upvote of a post, it would have to basically inform every user (every user's server)

It would be bad, it's not designed to do that.

And that only effects outbound federation basically? So a small instance shouldn't have much issues with this, even if it's subscribed to a lot of very busy communities?

and they’re not exchanging data, in the sense that if there’s community jimbo on instance rambo, all comments are stored there.

No. The comments are saved by every instance that has at least one user subscribed to !jimbo@rambo.com. If Rambo.com goes down, you wouldn't be able to make new content but I'm pretty sure everyone else could view what was there.

if there’s multiple jimbos on different instances is there some aggregation type of deal or do I have to subscribe to all the jimbos out there? and if I have something important to say about topic jimbo, I just spam/crosspost my idea to all the jimbos out there?

On Reddit there was /r/tech and /r/technology. One of those became the big, go-to sub.

Same will happen here, just give it a bit of time.

You've marked your post NSFW for some reason

Well yes, if you simplify pretty much everything online enough it becomes "send message to this address".

With email, that's pretty much it.

With ActivityPub, after being received that message gets federated out to all servers that have a subscriber of whatever service the message was sent to.

The difference is more about implementation, conceptually. Email is just far more one-on-one

Kinda, sorta.... not really. Eh

On email nothing really "federates". A message is sent to user@server.com and that's the extent of it.

Eventually one will become the biggest/most successful. Give it a bit of time.

Same thing that made, for example, /r/technology bigger than /r/tech on reddit.

It doesn't really. I'm viewing this post from my instance, which has saved a copy of this post from lemmy.ml

Me viewing this post doesn't hit lemmy.ml at all, although making this comment will.
