I haven’t used Diaspora yet. I have heard people say that its not really good and Friendica is better, which I also have never tried. Whats your experience with these platforms?

    It really isn’t that clear cut. Lemmy for example uses ActivityPub, yet right now at least you can not interact with with non-Lemmy instances. Hubzilla on the other hand speaks three protocols, Zot, AP and also Diaspora… and XMPP has a Mastodon gateway.

    I think Fediverse is more about the idea and a common cause than a protocol.

      I see your point yeah. I guess we should call Fediverse to the collective of all federated software, which is then subdevided into protocol-based networks, where services can interoperate.

      It seems like most activitypub apps have a goal of connecting with masto for visibility, but a lot don’t get that far because of development time.
