I'm in another fediverse called Jeremy. He goes to a different school though, so you wouldn't know him.

Jeremy Bearamy?
But I still don't understand the dot above the i, is it Tuesday, July or never??
I understood that reference.
So Blue sky?
In multi-fediverse theory, there are infinite fediverses where any and every possibility of fediverse exists.
So there's a version of Hexbear out there that are acual socialists and not facist bootlickers?
No, there's also the good alternate Fediverse where I don't have a goatee.
Tangentially related idea is how many sub-fediverse are their. Surly u could have 2 sets of instances that have all defederated the other group but are all federated with their own group.
We kinda had that on Lemmy until Hexbear decided to federate with Lemmy.World.
Also, I think Beehaw.org doesn't federate with anyone, but it's been awhile since I last checked
Pingback introduced back-linking websites practically forming a network in 2002.
URLs are a form of linking content, forming a network. Although uni-directional (into one direction only).
Some platforms integrate into websites and form a form of meta-network of their content or accounts.
Most recently and popular, the AT Protocol is an alternative generic protocol similar to the fediverse, powering Bluesky.
Web-rings were also a thing in the mid-to-late '90s before search engines really took off.
Basically you'd put a banner on your site that listed a site "before" yours in the ring, the one "after" and maybe a "random" link as well.

Web ring sounds like a cam site for beople getting rimmed
ZeroNet? Tor Network? I2P?
Is anything federated with Truth Social?
No
Even Exploding.Heads?
There are hundreds of other federated systems, yes.
As per what your question is asking, I'm not sure if there are fedoverse systems branched off from the "main" one. I guess Lemmy/forum stuff can't really federate with Microblogging-style things.
Mastodon users can post to Lemmy by mentioning the community they want to post to.
Long ago Usenet and BBS networks worked in a manner that we could describe as federated, if you mean a decentralized system where servers could communicate with each other. I saw something a few months ago about a modern service that sounds kind of similar, but I don’t remember the name now. It seemed interesting but I put it in the back burner and then lost it.
I suppose telephones were a sort of fediverse.
Dude your mom’s a sort of fediverse
There's only one fediverse, everyone doesn't have to talk to each other
What if a few instances only shared with each other? Wouldn't that create a second separate fediverse?
If a few servers are linked up and talk to each other using TCP/IP (?) but aren't connected to the wider network, that's not enough for it to be considered another internet (but it could be an intranet).
If a few instances are linked up and talk to each other using ActivityPub but aren't connected to the wider network, I think that's not enough for it to be considered another fediverse.
Kind of like how some parts of our universe are so far away that they’re physically unreachable.
