Jan KjellinLuckily my electrics bill prevents me from signing up for a VPS to set up my own #fediverse-instance at the moment.
On the other hand, even if I could afford it, with each new piece of information on the various #ActivityPub apps out there, It gets increasingly harder to choose one - even though I'm not techie and just try to take into account factors like UX, UI and purpose(s).
And now it seems like the various apps don't connect to every other app - at least not by default? (For example, Hubzilla connects to diaspora, Friendica, GNU Social, Mastodon and Pleroma, but not Misskey/Calckey?) I thought the whole point of a "fediverse" was that you could talk to every- and anyone, as long as they were on an app that used the ActivityPub protocol?
So what's the actual deal here?
