    Woah, that’s way bigger than I thought it was. It’s pretty incredible that there is a portion of the ‘internet’ that is inter-connected.

    Information and protocols that can freely move between platform and be freely referenced, all of which is not governed by large organizations but by people…spreading out the power and responsibility among the masses!

    Sorry I went a bit poetic there; I can’t help but wonder, isn’t this what the internet was designed to be?!

      Yes it is, but it is everything a big company and their shareholders fear. Because you can’t monopolize and make money with it.

    So someone please clarify for this newbie: If I join any one of these, I automatically get some connection to the rest?

      @Izzgo @squirrel Yes, you can. Right now I’m writing from Mastodon and I can give upvotes, create posts, follow users and communities.

      Not only I can interact with Lemmy/Kbin I also can do it with PixelFeed and PeerTube. I’ve done it on the last two a couple of times. In the case of Lemmy/Kbin I do it daily.

        Right now I’m writing from Mastodon

        As in you are using your Mastodon-Account, or as in you are using a Mastodon-Client to browse Lemmy Communities? If it’s the later one, I’m curious how this thread or a Video on PeerTube looks like on a Mastodon-Client. Do you mind sharing a screenshot?

          @Benutzer I hate every Mastodon client that I’ve tried (specially FediLab).
          I just access to my Mastodon instance from my browser (Firefox) and Lemmy/Kbin from also my browser. I copy the fediverse link on a post and paste it in my Mastodon search bar.
          Then I interact with the content.

          Videos look like the ones that you can see on toots and photos from PixelFeed look like normal photos.

          Speaking about looking. Here’s a photo of how one of my replies and a reply from Lemmy (Beehaw) looks like.

    Nextcloud and WordPress really shouldn’t be considered part of the Fediverse. They have ActivityPub plugins, but they’re not actually part of the Fediverse otherwise.

    EDIT: I stand corrected. Nextcloud is absolutely a member of the Fediverse.

      you can connect your NC instance to others and interact and share with their users. Isn’t that federated?

        Nextcloud is a server, not an instance.

        However, you are correct. Nextcloud now has federated filesharing built in. It requires the server to be Internet-facing and to have a domain name. According to the documentation, federated shares have to be created manually in a process resembling sharing files in Google Drive.

        I stand corrected. Nextcloud has enough federation integrated for me to consider it a part of the Fediverse.
