As long as the two services implement a shared protocol like ActivityPub [1], then yes they can communicate! For instance, both Mastodon and PeerTube (p2p youtube clone) implement ActivityPub, and so can communicate. And although according to [2], hubzilla doesn't appear to currently implement ActivityPub, however there is an intermediary "Bridgy Fed" [3] which can bridge between Mastodon and hubzilla.

- zotlabs 9y agoActivityPub has been supported in Hubzilla since around June/July 2017. It provides social communications in ActivityPub, Diaspora, OStatus, and Zot. It's designed primarily as a distributed content management and decentralised identity/privacy platform, whereas most of the other fediverse projects focus primarily on social networking.
- jug 9y agoI heard that things like hashtags aren’t federated though. I think it’s important to make especially posts findable across instances via hashtags.
