Hi everyone,
Just a quick post to say hi - no doubt most of you saw us over on Reddit, and now we’re here (and I’m going to claim, we’re the first assistive tech organisation on Lemmy). (And by ‘we’, it’s Quentin, but who knows, we might do an AMA or something and I’ll throw the keys to Mick one day!)
So, do feel free to hit us up with any #NVDA questions you haven’t already asked elsewhere 😊 (At least, as long as I’ve done this right and it makes it out into the world 😂)
I have not got my head around how the fediverse works - I can use Mastodon, and Lemmy seems doable, but how one is joined to the other and so on I just don’t get. Maybe I’m getting old! Not helped by that it keeps telling me “Language not allowed” when I try to post. This one seems to have worked so evidently I had to specifically select “English” for this reply?
@NVAccess it’s called activity pub, it’s a protocol which all of those fedi platforms speak, when talking to one another. Internally and with their own api, yeah, something different can be made, but the common protocol for these things is activity pub. There are others like diaspora, but prevalent here is activity pub
