Like we’ve got Mastodon which is a microblog platform.
Lemmy/kbin which I guess you could call aggregators?
Then there’s the image and video platforms.
Is there a lexicon or terminology we’re using to describe the different types of platforms in the fediverse?
Well that’s three, there are at least 1200 more and that’s not including the YouTube and Instagram like sites that are, or could be, federated, and they all have slightly different feature sets depending on what software they’re running.
That’s what I’m talking about. A way to describe those feature sets in a word.
the 1200 number refers to a number of Lemmy’s instances. I doubt there are twelve hundred different Fediverse platforms.
