The Fediverse is a network thousands of independent social media servers of many different kinds.

The most popular kind is Mastodon, but it wasn't the first and isn't the only kind. Some of the accounts you interact with are on other server types, for example @Iancylkowski is on Pixelfed and @theatticdwellers is on PeerTube. There are many Fediverse server types:

Whichever type you're signed up on, they connect together to form a social network called the Fediverse.

@feditips I would ask if we would call the #Fediverse a "macronetwork"?

@feditips Unfortunately I had to discover that it does not work that way. The results I get an a hashtag serach differ dramatically depending on how big the instance is that I search from. To test that I did setup my own instance and tested from that and from accounts on smaller and bigger instances. I get A LOT more results on a big instance than on smaller ones. IMHO that defies the purpose of the #Fediverse and is a major problem ...

@feditips I was wondering whether there's a trick to use the different services but with a single identity? I don't want to have a set of credentials for each service. Maybe with decentralized identity?

@feditips @Iancylkowski @theatticdwellers PeerTube, I so want it to succeed, but there's nothing interesting on it right now.

@feditips @Iancylkowski @theatticdwellers I should note that I seem to be encountering compatibility issues between mastodon and some other activitypub apps like pixelfed or peertube. I follow a peertube account but as far as I can tell I've not seen a single post of theirs show up in my timeline.

So it is also highly dependent on whether or not the software that runs the instance you're on even supports the types of data they receive.
