Is there a goto conference talk about Activity Pub, Fediverse, and Lemmy yet? (self.selfhosted)

I'm just looking for an overview, like, what goes where to do what. I'm helping with some basic testing on the beta, looking at the client page source/github, and would like to ground my understanding. I know this is borderline for a "self hosting" post. I hope the mods will let it fly because this is such a large community. I'm sure people looking into hosting Lemmy instances are also taking a look under the hood and can maybe share good references. I searched on YT, and watched a few, but nothing stood out as good. There are only half a dozen results before the YT salting algorithm goes ADHD on irrelevant nonsense.

If you happen to have a ref on YT, can you please share titles and content creator? I'd rather avoid their tracker links to my account here.

Edited title to be more clear that I am looking for informative content. Sorry for any misunderstanding.

I came here for posts like this. Love learning about new selfhosted services especially fediverse related.

Great link, but misses the topic. From what I understand, OP is looking for actual conference talks, live stream recordings etc. (about the whole fediverse topic space).

Are you looking for federated software to use to stream from a conference to youtube? Or a video shot at a conference of someone describing how federated software works?

I'm learning how Lemmy works in general, and interested in understanding the overall structure and scope well enough to notice what is going on with bugs.

I posted one to kbin the other day. Really good overview i thought.

The comment link by JollyRoberts briefly mentioned the main author of Activity Pub is Christine Lemmer-Webber. Searching by name will generate many relevant results on and around Activity Pub as a protocol.

I will edit this post with references as I find them. For starters I just watched a YT upload by the FOSDEM channel titled Activity Pub Panel that was part of FOSDEM 2019. I checked and it is not posted on archive, peertube, or odysee. This is as sanitized of a link to YT as I can make: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bd7SY3KQAHA
