ActivityPub, as the name implies, is just a protocol for publishing one's activities. Those activities can be blog posts too (just like they can be Lemmy comments, which is what I'm doing now).
Lemmy only allows subscribing to communities, not arbitrary accounts, but on Mastodon, people can subscribe to anything.
