# ActivityPub overview
## Actors
Funkwhale uses [ActivityPub actors](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#actor-objects) to hold and manage access to content. There are five main types of actor:
Funkwhale uses [ActivityPub actors][actor-object] to hold and manage access to content. There are five main types of actor:
Service actor
: The **Service actor** is a special actor that represents a Funkwhale pod. ActivityPub actors can [follow this actor](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#follow-activity-outbox) to receive updates to public content stored on the pod.
: The **Service actor** is a special actor that represents a Funkwhale pod. ActivityPub actors can [follow this actor][follow-activity] to receive updates to public content stored on the pod.
User
: A **User** is an actor that represents **either** a person with a Funkwhale account **or** a _virtual_ user that controls access to a **Channel**. _Regular_ **Users** can own Funkwhale **Collection** actors to add content to their [ActivityPub Collection][collections].
: A **User** is an actor that represents **either** a person with a Funkwhale account **or** a *virtual* user that controls access to a **Channel**. *Regular* **Users** can own Funkwhale **Collection** actors to add content to their [ActivityPub Collection](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#collections).
: _Regular_ **Users** may follow other **Users** to receive updates about the **User's** _Favorites_ ([likes collection](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#likes)) and _Listening activity_.
: *Regular* **Users** may follow other **Users** to receive updates about the **User's** *Favorites* ([likes collection](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#likes)) and *Listening activity*.
: Multiple *regular* **Users** can own a *virtual* **User** to control access to a **Channel**. This is useful in the example of bands or groups who might share access to a joint account. A **User** may authenticate as the *virtual* user to add content to a **Channel's**
[ActivityPub Collection](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#collections).

[ActivityPub Collection][collections].
Collection
: A **Collection** is an actor that represents a collection of content owned by a **User**. ActivityPub actors can [follow this actor](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#follow-activity-outbox) to be notified of changes to the collection's content.
: A **Collection** is an actor that represents a collection of content owned by a **User**. ActivityPub actors can [follow this actor][follow-activity] to be notified of changes to the collection's content.
Channel
: A **Channel** is an actor that represents a public stream of content owned by a *virtual* **User**. Funkwhale **Users** with access to the *virtual* **User** may manage content in the **Channel's** collection. ActivityPub actors can [follow this actor](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#follow-activity-outbox) to be notified of changes to the collection's content.
: A **Channel** is an actor that represents a public stream of content owned by a _virtual_ **User**. Funkwhale **Users** with access to the _virtual_ **User** may manage content in the **Channel's** collection. ActivityPub actors can [follow this actor][follow-activity] to be notified of changes to the collection's content.
Each actor must have a globally unique username that identifies them across federation. The `preferredUsername` field should be used to render the actor's name in all representations. Actor owners can change the `preferredUsername` of the actor at any time to update how it is represented.

## Service actor outbox
The **Service actor** publishes *public* Funkwhale content to its [outbox](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#outbox). When new content is added to a *public* **Collection** or to a **Channel**, this update is added to the **Service actor's** outbox. Actors in the [follower collection](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#followers) receive updates in their [inbox](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#inbox) and display the new content.

Actors in the [followers collection][followers-collection] receive updates in their [inbox][inbox] and display the new content.
Pods may follow one another's public content by having their **Service actor** follow the target pod's **Service actor**. If the target **Service actor** [accepts](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#accept-activity-inbox) the follow request, the requesting **Service actor** is added to the target **Service actor's** follower collection.
