Both are federated right? Getting a bit confused - are they interchangeable? Can I view lemmy posts/communities in Mastodon? Similar to how I can view lemmy.ml content with a lemmy.world account?

    Worth noting that while Matrix is decentralized, it’s not part of the Fediverse!

    The Fediverse/Activitypub protocol cannot (currently) be end-to-end encrypted, so it’s not so great for secure direct messaging. Matrix is completely separate software for a different use case, but it follows similar guiding principles of open source and decentralization. :)
