Think of the #Fediverse this way.
a. Fediverse = Email
b. Platform/Software = Provider (Google, Naver)
c. Server = Gmail US, Gmail EU, Naver KO

No matter which provider/software you're using, you can send/receive emails from other providers and from any servers.
Another way to understand the #Fediverse
a. Fediverse = Global phone system
b. Platform/Software = Phone companies per country
c. Server = Cell towers

Regardless of your location and network, you can call/SMS anyone, anywhere.
The #Fediverse is similar.
a. Fediverse is powered by the #webstandard #ActivityPub that interconnects everyone who implements it.
b. Platforms like #Mastodon, #Pixelfed, #Friendica, #Owncast, #Peertube, are the "phone companies".
c. Servers are the independent "cell towers"
