I’ve begun to wonder about this question. There’s nothing implied in the existence of the fediverse that it will include every site, and there’s nothing implied in the existence of every non-fediverse site which would stop them from forming their own fediverse. One could technically say email providers have already achieved this, though this only really applies to email providers which doesn’t make it as useful as the fediverse we know and love. Are there actually other fediverses out there?

No, there’s also the good alternate Fediverse where I don’t have a goatee.
In multi-fediverse theory, there are infinite fediverses where any and every possibility of fediverse exists.
So there’s a version of Hexbear out there that are acual socialists and not facist bootlickers?
I’m in another fediverse called Jeremy. He goes to a different school though, so you wouldn’t know him.
Jeremy Bearamy?
But I still don’t understand the dot above the i, is it Tuesday, July or never??
I understood that reference.
Pingback introduced back-linking websites practically forming a network in 2002.
URLs are a form of linking content, forming a network. Although uni-directional (into one direction only).
Some platforms integrate into websites and form a form of meta-network of their content or accounts.
Most recently and popular, the AT Protocol is an alternative generic protocol similar to the fediverse, powering Bluesky.
So Blue sky?
Is anything federated with Truth Social?
No
Even Exploding.Heads?
Tangentially related idea is how many sub-fediverse are their. Surly u could have 2 sets of instances that have all defederated the other group but are all federated with their own group.
We kinda had that on Lemmy until Hexbear decided to federate with Lemmy.World.
Also, I think Beehaw.org doesn’t federate with anyone, but it’s been awhile since I last checked
I can posts from beehaw on .ee
Do you get replies from anyone on Beehaw? Or is it only other people from lemmy.ee?
Beehaw defederates from most other instances. That means users on other instances can see and comment on their content, but the only users that can see those interactions are other users from the same instance.
Yeah federation with them is happening https://beehaw.org/instances
Yes. Truth Social is a reskinned Mastodon that only federates with itself. I imagine there are other cases similar to that.
I suppose telephones were a sort of fediverse.
Dude your mom’s a sort of fediverse
There are hundreds of other federated systems, yes.
As per what your question is asking, I’m not sure if there are fedoverse systems branched off from the “main” one. I guess Lemmy/forum stuff can’t really federate with Microblogging-style things.
There’s only one fediverse, everyone doesn’t have to talk to each other
What if a few instances only shared with each other? Wouldn’t that create a second separate fediverse?
Kind of like how some parts of our universe are so far away that they’re physically unreachable.
Long ago Usenet and BBS networks worked in a manner that we could describe as federated, if you mean a decentralized system where servers could communicate with each other. I saw something a few months ago about a modern service that sounds kind of similar, but I don’t remember the name now. It seemed interesting but I put it in the back burner and then lost it.
