Like we’ve got Mastodon which is a microblog platform.

Lemmy/kbin which I guess you could call aggregators?

Then there’s the image and video platforms.

Is there a lexicon or terminology we’re using to describe the different types of platforms in the fediverse?

    The fediverse (a portmanteau of “federation” and “universe”) is an ensemble of federated (i.e. interconnected) servers that are used for web publishing (i.e. social networking, microblogging, blogging, or websites) and file hosting, which, while independently hosted, can communicate with each other.
