  God… I’ve been on the “fediverse” for months and

  A: have no clue what it is

  And

  B: am not even entirely sure I’m on it anymore

  Love Lemmy but lol this is getting confusing, is Mastodon on Lemmy or… just federated or… sheesh I need to search this

    The fediverse is basically anything that uses some means of connecting to other sites. A lot of them now use ActivityPub, a standard for this kind of thing.

    Mastodon isn’t “on” Lemmy, but they can communicate with each other

    It doesn't really matter. If you find value in using it, just keep using it.

  That hasn’t been specified, which suggests they’re aiming for the latter.
