Hi - any documentation regarding actor registration? Is there a conventional way to inform a remote actor about a new actor? Would this be sent in a message? How does the actor.register('name') work? Maybe could be a useful addition to the documentation. Thanks.

Hi, I'll probably need to add better documentation on the internals of how remote actors work. There's not really any special features for informing other actors when one is registered currently, but you could do this yourself of course via messaging.

actor.register('name') works by using a Kademlia DHT behind the scenes. This is implemented thanks to libp2p which handles all the complications of peer to peer connections

I've added an indepth section to the kameo book about actor registration and lookup, including how it works: https://docs.page/tqwewe/kameo/distributed-actors/registerin...
