Thanks that second link sort of explains. I think maybe I just misundertstood. The way everything i've read about this stuff says all of these platforms and instances should be able easily communication with other instances and platforms. So an account on a mastodon or funkwhale instance should be able to find and communicate with people on other mastodon instances or even other platforms using the fediverse's open communication standards. But, from your second link, people are saying to just make multiple accounts across instances and platforms. I guess i'm not understanding the 'open communication porotocols' part. A bunch of them are listed as using ActivityPub. So does this not mean that having an account on an instance of a platform using ActivityPub should allow you to communicate with other platforms using ActivityPub?
