Isn't Lemmy just a client for the fediverse? (self.fediverse)

Would it be fair to say that Lemmy is just a client of the fediverse? Technically, someone could create a new client that interfaces with Lemmy perfectly on ActivityPub.

Seems like we should be pushing fediverse not just Lemmy.

There are a lot on incompatiblities between federated services. The standard is largely defined by it's use. The parts that are defined are generally adhered to but not universally.

Makes sense. There are custom attributes in the spec so that things can be different. But there are some core things. I've ben answered. Thanks!
