The Fediverse is a decentralized network of interconnected servers used for social media, blogging, file hosting, and other content-sharing purposes. These servers, often called "instances," run various open-source software platforms like Mastodon, PeerTube, and Friendica. Each instance can communicate with others using standard protocols, such as ActivityPub, allowing users to interact across different servers. Unlike traditional social media platforms, the Fediverse is not owned by a single company, enabling greater user autonomy and control over data, while fostering diverse and independent online communities​.
