    I don’t really understand this image to be honest. There’s a lot of technology on it that is not even related with the Fediverse. What exactly am I missing here?

      The big tree is the Fediverse, i.e. all the services that support ActivityPub. The little trees are other protocols for federated social networks (which were developed before ActivityPub) or messaging (Matrix, XMPP). The dotted lines show which services support those alternative protocols in addition to ActivityPub. However, I agree that the diagram is a little bit confusing.

      This diagram is a bit more concise, but it only shows a selection of Fediverse services, not all.
