You may be aware that there is something called the #Fediverse.

But do you know about all the different types of applications that run on the Fediverse?

I made this visual to give myself and others something to point at when explaining "the big picture".

You may be surprised by how many services beyond Mastodon there are to explore.

That post also has links to all the different applications.

The many branches of the Fediverse

As more and more people are asking me about Mastodon I felt a need for a picture to point at, showcasing how the software known as Mastodon fits into the much larger concept of the Fediverse. I made this infographic to help myself and others explain the many different use-cases

I have version 1.1 of "The many branches of the Fediverse" ready for you. 😄

Thank you to everyone who pitched in with suggestions of improvement (all visible in the thread).

You can download PNG and PDF versions on my blog post, which also has a bit more info and links to the applications.

Download for free and use as you please. Preferably to spread the word about the benefits of federated publishing and local instances. 😊

@axbom Great! Is the Drupal plugin interesting to add? https://www.drupal.org/project/activitypub
ActivityPub

Implements the ActivityPub protocol for your site. Readers will be able to follow content from your site on Mastodon and other federated platforms that support ActivityPub.

@axbom I usually also point people to Wikipedia which has a nice list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse?wprov=sfla1

@erikkemp Yeah, I link to the Wikipedia page from the post. My intent is not to have the tree be complete in its coverage, but complete enough to have interesting conversations around it, and use it as a tool for explanation.

@erikkemp Someone added my diagram to that Wikipedia page! 😊

@axbom Lovely! :) I enjoyed reading your thread with @rysiek about licensing too. Thanks again for spending time on designing your wonderful graphic! It makes it easier for us to explain to people that they may think they are just switching from one platform to another, but that they are actually taking a peek into a very different noncommercial ecosystem of interoperable open source platforms designed for wellbeing and connectedness instead of profit :)

So, no chance of it becoming an imagemap, or an SVG with hyperlinks to the various platforms? ;-)

@oblomov

Maybe in some future. I spent soooo many hours on this diagram this past week. 😅

But I guess you could achieve this with the PDF.
