The Actor represents your site as an ActivityPub user, so it can be mentioned and Activities listed.
Configuration
Configuration can be done under an activity_pub section on
_config.yml. Missing or empty keys will be guessed using
jekyll-seo-tag configuration, so you can customize for Fediverse or
reuse the SEO configuration.

published and updated are optional timestamp strings you can use to
customize when the actor profile has been modified. By default, they’re
the site’s build time.
Customization
The Actor page is generated as a low priority site post_read hook.
You can customize its data hash.
# _plugins/activity_pub.rb
Jekyll::Hooks.register :actor, :post_init do |actor|
actor.data['summary'] = "I'm customizing the summary"
end
