Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

Thank you fortwhe diagram, but isn't nectcloud a cloud storage service?

[–] nachtigall@feddit.de 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

You are right! But there is a plugin for Nextcloud that allows to create and view posts like in Mastodon. (it is very underwhelming though)

That is being reworked right now and Nextcloud also has file storage federation via the Open Cloud Mesh specification that allows sharing files and folders between various cloud file storage software. The latter is sadly often overlooked and more interesting than being able to post to Mastodon from the Nextcloud interface.

Oh yeah totally forgot about that. It is actually pretty cool that I can share my totally legally obtained e-books from my account at example.org with bob@example.net without a public link :D

Thank you for letting me know. You seem to know a lot more than I. Are there any fediverse sites you recommend. I'm looking to delve deeper
