Together those servers, and other, non-Mastodon ones, form a collective of interlinked communities dubbed the “Fediverse.” https://web.archive.org/web/20260924022411/https://www.wired.com/story/the-man-behind-mastodon-eugen-rochko-built-it-for-this-moment/ 24 September 2026 Usage notes Historically, the terms the Fediverse, the Federation and the Free Network have been used interchangeably. Over time with the evolution of various social web protocols, the Fediverse has increasingly been adapted to uniquely refer specifically to the growing ActivityPub network. The other terms are more general and may encompass various protocols. There is no definitive consensus on the capitalisation of the name, similarly to the word en Internet. Both en Fediverse and en fediverse are commonly used.
