No, it isn't. But that doesn't make something part of the #Fediverse, does it? Try following someone with a Peertube-account for example. I dind't find a way, yet it's still a part of the #Fediverse..
I'd say: Fediverse = "connected via ActivityPub"

@mho Disagree.
Because it does. And I am already following people on PeerTube, works just fine!
I've to say, reducing the Fediverse, its development, its history and many supporting different software and diverse communities to a protocol, is, to be frank, just ignorant for an editor of an on tech focused online magazine. You should know better in 2025.

And if it's not "just" about the protocol: Who gets to decide about the definition? The people on #Mastodon? The ones on #Misskey? Or Lemmy? And why not the ones on #Threads, which could be soon the biggest part of it (the protocol, I mean)?

@mho We are getting off track. I'd say, don't call it "Fediverse" in your original post, but e.g. "software using activity pub", if that is what you are referring to and if you don't want to be misunderstood.
Regarding the Fediverse and what it stand for as its self-conception built over the years by so many individuals and communities which widely agree upon, my above mentioned remarks still apply.

No, I mean following an account from #Peertube.
