The idea to prompt people who want to subscribe to a publication with "enter your email or ActivityPub address" is great

Electronic Mail, then we got e-mail, now it's just email. I wonder if calling ActivityPub something else would help with better recognition.

Apub maybe?

Oh Apub is great. AP is super overloaded. A7Pub maybe?

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 1 points 5 months ago

I'll always go for APub.
