Conference Talk

## Talk Description

What do WordPress, GitLab, Threads by Meta, and Flipboard have in common? They all embraced ActivityPub, a standardized protocol for federated content distribution. Popularized by Mastodon, it's a key part of Fediverse, an open network of interoperable social networking applications. However, ActivityPub's potential extends beyond social media.



In this talk, Jan will take a deep dive into how (and why) ActivityPub works and how you can take advantage of it (or at least some of its parts) in your product.



For questions and further discussion find the speaker in the Speaker's Corner right after their talk.
