    Can you really call Matrix “fediverse software” if it doesn’t implement ActivityPub and therefore doesn’t federate with the majority of Fediverse instances?

      Fediverse is more than ActivityPub, it’s also Matrix, Nostr, Bluesky

      The fediverse is an umbrella term. I don’t know that anyone thinks of it as limited to activitypub.

      Matrix might not interact with activitypub platforms, but it’s definitely federated, and definitely contains a universe of content.

      I’ve found a couple active “spaces” (the equivalent of discord servers, a collection of users and rooms, not just one group chat) that are great.

      I access all that from my own instance, thanks to federation.
