@nom_nom That’s basically it. There are many kinds of AP servers floating around, and while most of them overlap quite a bit (what the Fediverse is mostly about is microblogging), there’s also stuff like ForgeFed, which is an extension to the protocol that will eventually allow Gitea (a Github alternative) instances and similiar Forge servers to federate with each other. Of course, you won’t be able to commit code through Mastodon, but you might be able to comment existing issues on a project.
@nom_nom Btw, here’s a good article on the Fediverse https://axbom.com/fediverse/
It also explains that the Fediverse isn’t really made of just one protocol: ActivityPub is the most popular one by far (mainly thanks to Mastodon, which has been widely adopted), but there are also a few others (the most notable one is Matrix, which allows private and decentralized instant messaging).
