A tree-like visual where the tree grows from a green platform labeled “ActivityPub + more”. ActivityPub is a protocol for communicating between different applications in the Fediverse. The trunk of the tree is labeled Fediverse, to indicate that all the applications within the tree crown are part of the Fediverse. The crown is made up of circles that all intersect with each other. Circle 1: Multimedia (streaming, video, photos, images, files) Applications here are Downcast, PeerTube, Pixelfed and Nextcloud. Circe 2: Networking. Applications here are Friendica, Mastodon, Misskey, Pleroma, Diaspora, GnuSocial, Hubzilla, Socialhome and Lemmy. Circle 3: Music. Applications here are Funkwhale. Circle 4: Books. Applications here are Bookwyrm. Circle 5: Writing. Applications here are Write Freely, Plume and Wordpress (via plugins). Circle 6: Events. Services here are Mobilizon and Bonfire. Bonfire also sits within the networking circle as these circles overlap. Also growing out of the trunk is a separate branch with a circle for “Paid services”. Applications here are micro.blog and write.as Off to the right are two small trees, one with its roots in the diaspora protocol and the other in the OStatus protocol. The two applications Hubzilla and Friendica both connect with these two trees using dotted lines. Diaspora is also its own application within its own protocol.

I have version 1.1 of "The many branches of the Fediverse" ready for you. ?
Thank you to everyone who pitched in with suggestions of improvement (all visible in the thread).
You can download PNG and PDF versions on my blog post, which also has a bit more info and links to the applications.
Download for free and use as you please. Preferably to spread the word about the benefits of federated publishing and local instances. ?
