Yeah it's Lemmy + Kbin. I'm not aware of any other federated link aggregators (read as Reddit clones), but if there are they would also fit.

Friendica has been doing it longer than Lemmy or kbin, but it's a microblogging platform with a feature rich groups/thread aggregator implementation, rather than a groups focused platform like Lemmy and kbin.

Currently theres also mbin (fork of kbin) and lotide that have instances running them

Also some others in development but nobody running them yet

I believe Mastodon would be included as well, basically anywhere you can post with comments and has implemented the ActivityPub protocol.

I don't think it does, Mastodon is a microblogging platform, not a link aggregator. "Threadiverse" specifically means "the link aggregator part of the Fediverse", because most Fediverse projects are microblogs.

It does not include Mastodon. Everything that has implemented the ActivityPub protocol is called the Fediverse.

I see the difference, so it's pretty much just kbin and Lemmy, then?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

For now, but it also includes any future thread-based activitypub implementation that may crop up
