- [Session](/concepts/session.md): The Session object is a short-lived object that actively communicates with the fediverse.  Learn how to create a session and publish messages to the fediverse.

- [Message](/concepts/message.md): The Message object represents a message that is published to the fediverse. Learn what things you can do with the Message object.
- [Text](/concepts/text.md): The Text object is a mini-language for representing rich text formatting commonly used in the fediverse.  Learn how to format your text using the Text object.
