@erikkemp Thanks. Will collect all these in a list for the next version.
I was big on Drupal many years ago. Amazed at how many projects I'm rediscovering.
@robertwgehl I'm just updating it within an hour. Keep an eye out :)
@gerwitz It's a fair question. I explained a bit more on the page itself. Fediverse doesn't really exclude commercial actors?
I also think it would be fair to add Wordpress. What would be your take on that?
@hendrikerz Nextcloud announced the alpha version of ActivityPub social features in 2018. More recently they also announced this:

@LexxAstar Yes I would say it's more often a user preference. They have different interfaces, features and integrations. I understand Friendica for example has a Twitter add-on, and supports the diaspora protocol.
@tobias Thanks, I'll have to update in the next version to reflect this.
It would appear to be more like Diaspora is itself "a protocol as well as a service which other fediverse social networks like Friendica and HubZilla support".
@n1vux Excellent to hear! Thanks for the feedback.
@roelwillems @jon Ha. Nice. Follow up with a reply from the new account!
@jon Yeah I know. 😁 Unfortunately the joinmastodon site doesn’t help enough in guiding people towards choosing more appropriately in the first stage. Would be fun to brainstorm better signposting.
The option to migrate is good (I’ve done it twice now) but that also feels daunting for a lot of people.
The opposite of DE-centralize is to centralize a majority of users on the same instance. 😉
@anubis2814 You commented with the exact same text on another post of mine 6 hours ago. Do you have an automated reply tool or are you just copy-pasting the same text on multiple posts?

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.
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. 😊
It's Friday and version 1.2 of "The many branches of the Fediverse" is published. Thanks everyone for your interest and engagement.
There is a changelog at the bottom of the post with more info, and you are welcome to download hi-res PNG and PDF versions of the diagram.
Do feel free to use this visual in any way you like, in your presentations, publish in your own spaces, etceteras. I'm just glad if you find it useful.
Stepping in for a sec from my weekend tech break.
Thank you for all the support and interest around my diagram. I also see lots of questions.
A heads up that most questions are answered if you click through and read the linked blog post.
Happy to answer q’s that are not answered in the blog post, and I’ll start on that on Monday. But no need to wait on that if you can find the answer in the blog post 😉
Thanks also to everyone helping me out with clarifications.
Version 2.0 of the diagram The Many Branches of the Fediverse is just published.
Among the changes:
Added XMPP. Added a line from GNUSocial to Ostatus. Added Zot as a tree and a line to Hubzilla. Added back Plume(!)
FYI: The blog post tells more about the thinking behind the diagram and how it is not intended to be a complete mapping of the #Fediverse.
PNG and PDF downloads are available for free usage:

Enklast för att följa är att kopiera användarnamnet (inklusive adressen på slutet) ELLER själva webbadressen till profilen du vill följa. Sedan klistrar du in detta i sökrutan på din egen instans (mastodon.nu i ditt fall). Vips, så får du upp personen i sökresultat och kan klicka Följ.

New blog post: 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 visualisation to help myself and others explain the many different use-cases and benefits of different services that can exchange information.
I am well aware this still doesn't cover all available tools, and ActivityPub isn't the only protocol. The image is a simplification, as most models are

@dinkompismia @LeoR1010 Vi flyttade ut på "landet" förra året. 30 minuters promenad till närmaste buss som går en gång i timmen på arbetstid. Jag stannar upp så mycket mer i vardagen nu och bara tittar runt omkring mig. Ser årsväxlingarna på ett helt nytt sätt. Har också rådjur som man kan glo ikapp med.
Just det här att man är så liten i helheten. Och att det är bra så.
@LeoR1010 @dinkompismia Fan vad bra ni är i tänkvärdhet och delande. Ni gör avtryck. I mig. 😊
Really enjoying The Peripheral and hey whaddaya know William Gibson is back on Mastodon:
This can be nothing but a sign, right? 😁
@buildchimp Yeah I don’t like killing permalinks so my account will be left as it is. And I actually do automate links to my blog posts over there for the time being. I just never log in to interact or read anymore. It’s wonderful how healing it is.
@worldethicaldataforum Thanks for getting back to me. That is concerning also that my message never made it to you. I used the web form on your contact page here, maybe you need to check that as well: https://worldethicaldataforum.org/contact-us
Glad to hear you acting on it. Thank you.
