But, the thing is, thanks to these protocols (AP, matrix, XMPP) it is possible to talk between these services, in some cases through some hoops. For example: diaspora can only speak diaspora’s protocol, but Friendica and Socialhome can speak both diaspora’s and AP’s, so I’d say diaspora is part of the Fediverse. I’m not aware of any specific case, but I believe there are bridges and multiprotocol services that allow communication between all these services mentioned above.
I believe the Fediverse is mostly about services all connected using ActivityPub. Matrix does not use ActivityPub. Matrix is a federated group of different servers just like the Fediverse.
What is the difference between the Fediverse and Matrix? Sorry I am relatively new to Lemme and open source social media.

If they are able to speak the same protocol in some way with the rest of the fediverse, I’d say they would be part of the Fediverse too.

I never mentioned AP specifically ;)

Ah, right. My bad, heh.
