Woah, that's way bigger than I thought it was. It's pretty incredible that there is a portion of the 'internet' that is inter-connected.
Information and protocols that can freely move between platform and be freely referenced, all of which is not governed by large organizations but by people...spreading out the power and responsibility among the masses!
Sorry I went a bit poetic there; I can't help but wonder, isn't this what the internet was designed to be?!

Yes it is, but it is everything a big company and their shareholders fear. Because you can't monopolize and make money with it.

I was just looking for something like this and a list with maybe some stats also would be neat

There are a lot of stats on fedidb.org

Nextcloud and WordPress really shouldn't be considered part of the Fediverse. They have ActivityPub plugins, but they're not actually part of the Fediverse otherwise.
EDIT: I stand corrected. Nextcloud is absolutely a member of the Fediverse.

you can connect your NC instance to others and interact and share with their users. Isn't that federated?
-
Nextcloud is a server, not an instance.
However, you are correct. Nextcloud now has federated filesharing built in. It requires the server to be Internet-facing and to have a domain name. According to the documentation, federated shares have to be created manually in a process resembling sharing files in Google Drive.
I stand corrected. Nextcloud has enough federation integrated for me to consider it a part of the Fediverse.

So someone please clarify for this newbie: If I join any one of these, I automatically get some connection to the rest?

@Izzgo @squirrel Yes, you can. Right now I'm writing from Mastodon and I can give upvotes, create posts, follow users and communities.
Not only I can interact with Lemmy/Kbin I also can do it with PixelFeed and PeerTube. I've done it on the last two a couple of times. In the case of Lemmy/Kbin I do it daily.
