What is a Fediverse Galaxy?

As more and more instances are providing multiple services under the same management, we need a term to talk about this type of arrangement. A Fediverse Galaxy is a collection of federated software that is provided by the same admin or collective.

        @wason Yes very much. I just started with one graphic, but I want to make a whole bunch to easily visualize different types of federation

      @liaizon @fediverse as a newb to this (see my other post), what do they federate? Like from what I understand, Lemmy is a forum software. When I federate my Mastodon with someone’s Lemmy, what do I see? Can I join in on threads on the Lemmy forum with Mastodon? and the other way around? Maybe I’m not getting the fediverse yet.
      Not asking your precious time to guide me through this but that information would also be helpful in a visualisation like yours

          @bloodaxe @liaizon @fediverse ah thanks. So basic content is shared or made sharable, like favorites getting read by Lemmy as upvotes.
          Btw, I use Mastodon aswell and isn’t this a Mastodon thread? Or is this Lemmy and it’s already so integrated I don’t even recognize it? Are there hints to which service im talking to?

            @iameru @bloodaxe @fediverse its both a mastodon thread and a lemmy thread cause we are all in the same fediverse! I started this lemmy thread from mastodon by tagging the lemmy group in the origonal post.
