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"
In-short:
a. As long as they support the #webstandard #ActivityPub
b. Regardless which software your server/community you joined is using.
c. Or, which server/service you are using (or you run your own)

You can follow, reply, share, with any user, anywhere.
This means that:
1. There are countless of users in the #Fediverse "network"
2. Potential wider audience
3. You can run your own single-user, or by invitation, server
4. Follow users on IG-like/YT-like/… platforms without creating a new account.
5. Encourage interoperability
You don't stop using a refrigerator because the brand you bought broke down immediately. You find a new brand and use it too.

It's the same with #Linux, you find a new distro; and the #Fediverse, you find a new platform and server.
Another thing people are forgetting: when you first joined Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram, you never had followers. You built it by (1) learning the platform; (2) using it; (3) interacting; and (4) building connections.

Same process in the #Fediverse network. It's not magic. 😉
Yet another. It's a misconception that the #Fediverse network (or #Mastodon software in particular) is for, or dominated by, techies. There are a lot of Fediverse servers with preferred themes.

Some I've seen: #anime, #kpop, #LGBTQ, and religious servers. They are thriving. 🙂
