#13Looks like it uses ActivityPub - https://github.com/dessalines/lemmy/blob/master/docs/API.md
Nice.

#14Serious question: from a user perspective, isn't spam going to be insanely bad in the Fediverse? How do you stop spam without a central authority?

#15It doesn't look like there's any federation right now, the test site (https://dev.lemmy.ml/) says "Federation into the ActivityPub network is on the roadmap."

Similar to an email service. You rely on the node operators to manage it.

#17sharing some others in case it helps - https://github.com/mariusor/littr.go - https://gitlab.com/tuxether/anancus
Another, decentralized, project https://getaether.net/
Yup, creator of Aether here. Small difference, this is federated, Aether is decentralised. Far as I understand this is more like Mastodon where some people host servers that talk to each other. Aether is more like a decentralised Usenet, every user is a server.

So delegate this all to a few large blacklists (spamhaus)? And block all residential users by default?

There can also be spam servers that publish blacklists like with emails
