So we are trying to help with event discovery. Here's what we have so far .... Firstly, you create your account:
For federation, follows and approvals are passed between servers and public events are federated between servers running our software. Over time, we hope to use #ActivityPub fully to trade data with other event software.
And some things we didn't mention! Many rough edges and a lot to do, but if you are interested or just want to let us know what you think of the idea get in touch. There is more on our website: https://www.theoccasionoctopus.net/
Then you can follow other accounts, on the same server or on other servers (more on federation later). Your can allow anyone to follow you, or approve each follower.
