I know the Fediverse is every federated application, is the threadiverse just Mastadon, Kbin and Lemmy?

    Lemmy and Kbin are the “threadiverse”, where content is submitted by users to specific groups and replies are shown in a tree-structure. In ActivityPub behind the scenes, I believe this is achieved by making non-user Actors that re-post everything @'d at them.

    Mastodon is not thread based, users post as themselves and other users follow them directly. Then everything is shown lineally.
