Note: Matrix, Solid, IPFS, Hypercore and YaCy have a distributed architecture, but may not be part of the Fediverse in the strict sense because they are not compatible with any of its integral protocols such as ActivityPub, Zot, Diaspora, and OStatus, although a server running ActivityPub could theoretically be bridged to, for example, Matrix and vice versa. cf.
