 +====== What is the fediverse? ======
 +The fediverse describes an interconnected network of individual servers, each providing services (e.g., microblogging) and whose users can interact with users on any other federated server.
  
 +
 +<div tip>This concept - and the [[faq:how_do_i_join|signup process]] - might seem daunting to users migrating from monolithic social media. Patience and kindness will be appreciated by people who might otherwise be discouraged from participating.</div>
 +
 +Infosec.Exchange is one of many such servers; it is a Mastodon instance, but there are other services in the fediverse besides Mastodon.
 +
 +Mastodon runs on top of the ActivityPub protocol. The fediverse encompasses other protocols too.
