If you are new to the #Fediverse and you see people talking that #Mastodon have 10 million accounts/users…
At least according to #FediDB this is a false assumption.
The 10 million accounts/users is for the **entire** **Fediverse network**.
See: https://fedidb.org
Do not confuse the Fediverse with Mastodon, these are **not** interchangeable.
“Fediverse” is the name of the resulting network that grew out of the #AcitivtyPub (latest) / #OStatus (previous) / #OpenMicroBlogging (first) protocols.
While “Mastodon” is a software brand name / trademark.
It's the same with #Lemmy and #Kbin.
The label #Treadiverse is not interchangeable with the label Fediverse.
“Threadiverse” refers to the link-aggregator type of software like Lemmy and Kbin (there are others, check the Wikipedia list).
Threadiverse is part of the Fediverse network.
Coolness? Awesome!
