Summary
The fediverse is an interconnected social platform ecosystem based on an open protocol called ActivityPub. It allows users to port their content, data, and follower graph between networks, making it possible to post from anywhere and have all followers see it. Unlike traditional social networks, the fediverse allows users to bring all their content and followers with them if they switch platforms. Mastodon is currently the biggest app in the fediverse, but there are many others like Pixelfed, Lemmy, and PeerTube. The goal of the fediverse is to create a web-wide network of interoperable apps that give users control over their data and allow them to easily move between platforms.
