      The protocol is mostly a separate topic from basic rust fluency, I’d say. For instance, the reading clubs could maybe start looking at the lemmy ActivityPub crate in not too long a time. So I’d imagine we could start reading it by then if we wanted to. Thinking about basic protocol tasks might be a good topic to on ramp into the lemmy code base while still exercising rust muscles.
