Sorry, I am really new to the idea of the fediverse. So, it is about standartisation for social media protocols so I can interact with users on another side that uses the same standard. Does this mean if I post something on lemmy I can find it on Mastodon, or is it only certain features? I guess I dont understand how this applies to the every day use of there application

I don't really know the details of how they would translate from app to app, but I do know that ActivityPub is specifically designed to allow all of its apps to pull the same information. If an app utilizes ActivityPub, it inherently has the capability of displaying all of its components.

If anyone sees that I'm wrong on something here, please feel free to correct me.
