Nextcloud and WordPress really shouldn't be considered part of the Fediverse. They have ActivityPub plugins, but they're not actually part of the Fediverse otherwise.

EDIT: I stand corrected. Nextcloud is absolutely a member of the Fediverse.

you can connect your NC instance to others and interact and share with their users. Isn't that federated?

Nextcloud is a server, not an instance.

However, you are correct. Nextcloud now has federated filesharing built in. It requires the server to be Internet-facing and to have a domain name. According to the documentation, federated shares have to be created manually in a process resembling sharing files in Google Drive.

I stand corrected. Nextcloud has enough federation integrated for me to consider it a part of the Fediverse.

Drupal shouldn't be on the list as well. It's way older than the Fediverse and something totally different.
