Yes, there are people who have joined Mastodon two years ago, and who still "know" that the Fediverse equals Mastodon; CW: long (over 650 characters), Fediverse meta, Fediverse beyond Mastodon meta

Part of the problem is the way Mastodon displays profiles. Unless they click through and actually go to the profile on your server, they would never know you are not on Mastodon.

@Scott M. Stolz That, and they've never been told that something, anything, exists in the Fediverse outside of Mastodon that's connected to Mastodon. Whoever pulled them on board either deemed this information unnecessary or confusing, or they didn't know it themselves either.

These people only learn about the existence of a Fediverse outside of Mastodon either from a post that does loads of things which are completely impossible on Mastodon or from a reply guy on Akkoma, Firefish, Friendica, Hubzilla etc.

At least this guy did not freak out when he learned about the existence of a Fediverse outside of Mastodon. That is, I don't know how he'll react once a very un-Mastodon post hits his timeline.
